Manchester United unveiled a Web3 football game called "Fantasy United" in the Tezos blockchain for the 2024/2025 season.
Along with this game, the club has released trading cards that include all of the club’s first team players in editions such as classic, rare and ultra-rare.
These cards are updated with real-time stats throughout the season, allowing fans to use them to build a team of five players in “Fantasy United“.
The game allows fans to compete against friends, join mini-leagues with United players and earn points based on player performance in real life
Ronan Joyce, Director of Digital Innovation at Manchester United, highlighted that these cards allow fans to collect and interact with the entire team as the season progresses
Built on the Tezos blockchain, this project is part of Manchester United’s ongoing collaboration with the Tezos ecosystem. The club aims to engage fans through interactive features, as seen in its original digital collection ‘The Devil‘, also developed with Tezos.
Player trading cards are sold in packs of seven priced at £3, with early access given to owners of ‘The Devil’ collection.
