Interconnected with OneFootball

Serving 110M + football fans on web and mobile, OneFootball has become a pioneer for the digitalisation of the world’s most popular sport. Endorsed by, partnered with, and invested in by some of the biggest clubs and leagues — OneFootball’s Web3 vision ties-in to this ecosystem, and creates new types of engagement and value for the community.

WHAT TO EXPECT IN THE FIRST SEASON…

Our feature development roadmap is ambitious. To ensure that all new services introduced to the product hit a quality bar, we will undertake extensive testing. In the first season we’ll be rolling out with the following:

Step 1 — Aera by OneFootball MVP: In order to avoid specific areas of the product becoming over-complex in the beginning, we have defined a minimum viable feature set for the product’s launch. This helps us understand which aspects of Aera by OneFootball are best serving the needs of the community, then prioritise and take immediate action on the insights provided by that data.

Step 2 — Future drops: Following the full launch this week, we’ll begin to pick up the pace with more and more drops. These regular releases will feature iconic moments from the archives, and the latest match days throughout the 2022–23 season of Serie A.

Step 3 — Evolution of the feature set: New features are coming to the platform and are going to continue driving forward the mission to revolutionise football. From new types of challenges to utilise your DVMs, to improvements to the marketplace. We want to be able to give you more insights to track your imprint in Web3 and to give the community a deeper integration in Discord.

Step 4 — More leagues and licences: More leagues and federations are joining the ecosystem, including the Bundesliga among others. This ushers in an exciting range of new gamification possibilities through challenges, personalisation, and social features that will allow fans to truly flex their fandom within the community.
