The soccer team Chapecoense received an amount of USD 1.4 million in sponsorship from a cryptocurrency company. The capital will be used to pay agreements relating to the 2016 air tragedy.

It was reported that the Brazilian soccer team Chapecoense received USD 1.4 million in sponsorship from the company behind the token based on Ethereum, USD Soccer (USDSC). It is probable that the commercial alliance will be extended for one year and will help the team to pay agreements relating to the 2016 air tragedy, salaries and image rights.

The capital, which amounts to about 5.6 million Brazilian reais (BRL), is said to give the company rights to stamp its logo on the uniform of the team participating in the Brazilian Serie A championship, according to local media and specialized journalists.

It has been confirmed that on the USDSC website there is already information regarding Chapecoense and other Brazilian soccer teams such as Botafogo, Cruzeiro and Corinthians, as well as several Spanish teams, who have also received support from the company.

The USD Soccer project is presented as the parent currency that is aimed at connecting soccer with the StockSports platform, where it will be possible for all soccer teams and athletes all over the world to be represented by a crypto asset. It is expected that the token will allow any individual to interact, either for the passion for soccer or for financial freedom.

The road map of the project indicates that USD Soccer was created in June 2019 and that its team recruitment process culminated in August of this year. A financing round is expected for the month of November through its Initial Coin Offering (ICO) and analysis of results.

According to data from Etherscan, USD Soccer is an ERC-20 token that will have a total emission of 2 billion units.

Chapecoense received worldwide media coverage after the air tragedy that took place in November 2016. The soccer team was traveling from Bolivia to Colombia to play the first leg of the South American Cup final against its rival Atlético Nacional. However, the plane carrying the team plane fell to the ground after the fuel was depleted, five minutes away from the José María Córdova International Airport, which serves Medellín. In the accident there were 71 dead casualties including players, crew, coaches and journalists.

Soccer and Crypto Ecosystem

In recent years, the relationship between soccer and the crypto ecosystem has become increasingly close through alliances, announcements and sponsorships that include teams and leagues from Europe, South America and Asia. Unlike other disciplines, companies that sell cryptocurrencies or tokens have seen soccer as an ally for their promotion.

Teams such as Juventus (Italy), Paris Saint-Germain (France), Newcastle United and Cardiff City (England), have reached agreements to create tokens and make Initial Coin Offering.

It is also appropriate to mention those players who have decided to take the risk and create their own tokens. One of them is Colombian soccer player James Rodríguez. Other cases include Lionel Messi, Ronaldinho and Didier Drogba, who have also been associated with cryptocurrencies in one way or another.
