Sports and web3 have been inseparable these days. An increasing number of major clubs and athletes have already embraced the power of blockchain, and Lionel Messi is no exception. One of the most prolific football players of all time, with 7 Ballon d’Ors, and 6 Golden Shoes under his belt, Messi is not a newcomer to the NFT realm.
The first collection by the legendary bombardier launched back in 2021 made waves and was sold out in no time. But this year's NFT endeavor is far more exclusive and exceptional.
To celebrate the latest seventh Messi's Ballon d’Or, the icon's FC Paris Saint-Germain is dropping a 1:1 NFT dubbed Ballon d’Or #7. The exclusive non-fungible video with a bit more than a minute in length reflects the most epic Lionel Messi's victories with Paris SG, including the seventh Ballon d’Or, obtained on November 29th, 2021.
The registration for the Ballon d’Or #7 NFT auction started in late April on the psgballondor7.com website and is still open. The auction itself starts on May 3rd and will last for a week.
According to the official announcement, in addition to possessing the one-and-only NFT video, the winning bidder also gets the following perks:
The source also adds that the "travel back and forth to Paris is not included" and the "date of the travel to be decided by PSG."
While there will be only one lucky winner of the Ballon d’Or #7 NFT, Paris SG promises to allow all bidders to leave their comments for their idol during the auction week. The icing on the cake is that each comment left will become a permanent part of the PSG’s Messi 1:1 NFT, making it even more valuable and the event more memorable.
While this is the seventh Ballon d’Or in Messi's piggy bank, it's the inaugural trophy for Paris SG.
Hurry up to register for the auction and try your luck!
