In the world of NFTs, there\u2019s no sleeping giant capable of eclipsing professional sports. In 2022, this emerging subset of the NFT market flashed its potential several times. Across the professional sporting world, sports teams have taken in Bored Apes to function as virtual mascots, several licensed sports-themed blockchain games have successfully hit the market, and NFTs have even found themselves heavily featured as part of the Super Bowl\u2019s highly-coveted programming.<\/p>\n
Now, NFTs are poised to another big splash in the public eye, thanks to the FIFA World Cup \u2014 by far the most widely-watched sporting event in the entire world. A decade ago, a psychic octopus spiced things up. But today, with several high-profile football players and FIFA itself releasing various NFT projects and campaigns, it\u2019s time for NFTs to accept the challenge.<\/p>\n
Throughout the 21st century, one debate has ceaselessly raged within the international football fandom. Who is the GOAT; Portugal\u2019s Cristiano Ronaldo, or the Argentine Lionel Messi? This coming World Cup may prove to be a pivotal chapter in one of the biggest ongoing stories in sports, since it may be one of the last times these giants clash on the world stage at the peak of their powers. Luckily, fans of the two can preserve this moment in their respective legacies \u2014 and more \u2014 thanks to upcoming launches featuring Ronaldo and Messi at the forefront.<\/p>\n
