The Korea Football Association (KFA) and Chiliz, a global sports and entertainment blockchain company, are launching the Game-Scored Ball event.
The Game-Scored Ball event is an event that provides fans with actual balls scored during K League matches. It is designed to provide a differentiated experience for K League fans, and fans will have the opportunity to purchase a scoring ball from a major K League game and collect the moment of the goal.
Starting with the Hana Bank K League 1 2024 8th Round match between FC Seoul and Jeonbuk Hyundai on the 20th, the event will select one or two matches from each round of the 온라인카지노 K League 1 this season, totaling 38 matches, and auction off all the scoring balls from those matches.
When a goal is scored in a given game, the referee immediately hands the ball to a Chiles official on the field, who immediately places it in the official Chiles case located in the center of the stadium entrance. This process is broadcast on the livestream, so fans can see the actual scoring ball.
In addition, for the first time in Korean sports, the K League scoring ball will be equipped with Chiliz’s near-field communication (NFC) and blockchain-based authentication technology. Therefore, the official case of the scoring ball will have a sticker with an NFC chip embedded in it, which can be recognized by a mobile device to check the scoring information, game video, and authenticity of the ball.
In addition, the ball will be autographed by the goal scorer and will be auctioned on MatchWornShirt, a global jersey auction site, starting the day of the game, and fans will be able to bid on the ball for about seven days.
“We look forward to this event as an innovative endeavor and a success story in the development of Korean sports fandom culture. Chiliz will continue to communicate closely with the K-League to develop various activities and discuss ways to diversify the club’s business model based on blockchain technology.”
