AS Monaco joins forces with Sorare

AS Monaco is pleased to announce a partnership with Sorare, a fantasy football platform, for the next two seasons. This agreement allows the Club to enter the world of NFT (Non-Fungible Tokens).

Thanks to this partnership, AS Monaco fans, collectors and fantasy football players will be able to trade and play freely with digital cards of Monaco players for the first time. Each of these cards will be unique, rare, and verified by blockchain technology, allowing it to be certified and thus making it non-fungible.

More than 450.000 users

This association with Sorare represents an important step for AS Monaco and its digital development. A reference on the NFT scene, Sorare has already developed partnerships with prestigious clubs such as Bayern Munich, Juventus Turin and Liverpool FC.

Sorare has cards from more than 155 football clubs and has more than 450,000 registered users on the platform, of which 100,000 are active every month. This addition to the Sorare catalogue therefore provides AS Monaco with significant visibility in the heart of a booming market.

We are delighted to welcome Sorare as one of our partners. It is an original and innovative way of connecting AS Monaco fans with the club and the players on an increasingly renowned platform, which fits perfectly with our digital development.
