18 days separate us from the date of one of the most important sporting events in the world and for the first time in the Arab region, where the State of Qatar will organize the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

in this occasion announced Visa, the financial services giant and FIFA’s official payment partner for the upcoming FIFA World Cup in Qatar, has announced the launch of an auction for the FIFA World Cup Qatar (NFT) ahead of the event.

According to Visa, the NFT tokens are inspired by unique goals from 5 football legends, including:

• Jared Borgetti.
• Tim Cahill.
• Carly Lloyd.
• Michael On.

The moves of these football stars have been transferred to NFT by award-winning XK Studio and as revealed, bidding on NFT has been opened on Crypto.com, the official partner as a cryptocurrency exchange for the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

Visa said that collectors who submit the winning bid for the “Masters of the Movement NFT” will receive the artwork in their digital wallets on their Crypto.com trading platform along with a high-quality printable file.

The NFT will be signed by premium footballers, adding to the authenticity of the NFT.

Andrea Fairchild, Senior Vice President and Head of Sponsorship, Visa, said:

With the FIFA World Cup 2022™ approaching, we want to celebrate football, art and technology through the lens of what makes the FIFA World Cup™ so special – passionate fans, legendary athletes, and for a few short weeks, Visa wants to bring the world together in a uniquely connected way.

FIFA has established many partnerships before the World Cup to be held in Qatar.

While the event remains one of the most anticipated sports tournaments of the decade, the brands partnering with FIFA are significantly pushing ways to record historical moments on the blockchain.

Besides its partnerships with Visa and Crypto.com, FIFA also has an active partnership with Algorand, a blockchain protocol powered by PoS.

The pre-event NFT auction is just a sequel to the FIFA Fan Fest that will be held live in Doha.
