Fan tokens, the digital assets that give holders voting rights on minor club decisions and access to exclusive content, have become a staple of major football organizations. Platforms like Socios, built on the Chiliz blockchain, have partnered with dozens of national teams and top clubs.

When a team wins, its fan token tends to see a spike in trading volume. When a team gets eliminated, interest fades. This pattern played out clearly during the 2022 World Cup in Qatar and the 2024 European Championship.
