Football titan FC Barcelona is partnering with the World of Women (WoW) NFT project to spotlight a celebrated athlete from the club’s women’s team in their second ‘Masterpieces’ collection. This initiative aims to highlight the role of women in sports.
The NFT series named ‘Empowerment’ has been crafted by artist Rhi Madeline and is a tribute to Alexia Putellas, the captain of FC Barcelona’s women’s team. The digital collectibles encapsulate Putellas’s triumphant performance during the Women’s Champions League semi-final match in 2022. She led the team to a victory, scoring two goals against Wolfsburg, which is encapsulated in this series.
Interested collectors can participate in a two-day auction starting from June 26 to 28 on the OpenSea marketplace. Given the demand and value of past Masterpieces collectibles, this auction presents a lucrative opportunity for NFT enthusiasts and football fans alike.
FC Barcelona’s foray into NFTs and Web3 technologies extend beyond digital collectibles. In collaboration with Plastik, the football club recently released the NFT collection ‘Unleash Your Passion. ‘ This innovative project aims to combat the plastic waste crisis and allows holders to own football shirts signed by FC Barcelona players.
In conclusion, FC Barcelona’s latest venture with World of Women merges sport with social responsibility, focusing on the still prevalent issues facing women in sports while offering fans a piece of football history.
