Socios.com have ramped up their marketing engagement with their football partners as they have rapidly added new Fan Token launches.

Earlier this month the Argentina Football Association (AFA) sold the naming rights to their top tier league to their crypto fan token partner Socios.com. The one-year deal will see the league renamed the Torneo Socios.com.

Fan Tokens are collectible digital assets that are minted on the Chiliz blockchain and tradeable on cryptocurrency exchanges. Owners have access to voting rights in polls, VIP rewards, exclusive promotions, AR-enabled features, chat forums, games and competitions via the mobile app Socios.com.

Alessandro Antonello, Corporate CEO of Inter, said: “We are very proud to announce this partnership today, an agreement that links us with a leading brand in its industry. This deal confirms the growth and the appeal of the Inter brand, despite all the challenges the Club is facing during the pandemic period.
