LONDON: Fantastec SWAP, the United Kingdom-based blockchain authenticated collectibles app, have announced a new partnership with Bundesliga heavyweights Borussia Dortmund.
With this licensing agreement, Dortmund becomes the second major football club in the world to associate with Fantastec. Last month, Premier League’s Arsenal FC confirmed a similar sort of deal with the brand.
The ground-breaking app allows fans to discover, collect and swap officially licensed club content such as player autographs and exclusive video from their favourite football teams. The genuine player profiles are time stamped and authenticated via cutting-edge blockchain technology.
Fantastec SWAP encourages fans to build their squad collections through in-app team packs, and by swapping with other fans all over the world. The platform offers social network-like features, enabling fans to connect and swap their collectibles with the same confidence and trust they would have if they were interacting physically.
Fantastec Managing Partner Steve Madincea commented: “Given our fan first mentality at Fantastec we had to have this unique product available to one of Europe’s most passionate fan base. The exceptional nature of Fantastec SWAP is it allows football fans to SWAP with confidence and trust with any fan around the world. The innovative format provides exclusive player profiles containing a variety of special features including authenticated player signatures, one-off content and dynamic stats. We are certain the thousands already playing SWAP across 50+ countries will love having Borussia Dortmund on our platform.”
Borussia Dortmund MD of Merchandising Matthias Zerber stated: “More than ever fans want more interaction and engagement with the teams and players they follow. Because we know football forms such a large part of their daily lives, we are continually looking for partners capable of delivering a certain more for our fans. Fantastec SWAP is a perfect solution not merely for our most loyal fans in Germany but for all football fans around the globe that love the game and enjoy technology bringing them closer to the team.”
