Brazilian legend Ronaldinho has delved into the NFT world by launching his exclusive line of unique digital collectibles, working with creative studio INFLUXO.
The former Ballon d’Or winner is the latest sports superstar to produce a variety of rare masterpieces available for online auction.
Speaking on the exciting news, Ronaldinho said via a statement as quoted by CBS Sports:
“Growing up, collecting playing cards of your favorite players was the ultimate badge of honour.
“NFTs open a whole new world where digital assets converge with the real world and eSports to bring fandom to life.”
The online auction will include seven one-of-a-kind NFTs as the winner will also have the opportunity to meet Ronaldinho in Dubai next year, with a round-trip ticket, two-day holiday stay, gala dinner and meet-up.
Sports legend card NFTs will also be available in the six-card series with an additional airdropped card which sees holders join a sweepstake to win the same Dubai experience with the auction winner or receiving a signed Ronaldinho jersey.
“Ronaldinho is one of the most important legends in the sports world and NFTs allow us to immortalize this legendary status through technology and entertainment,” said INFLUXO founding partner and Figer Group VP Andre Figer as quoted by CBS Sports.
“We see INFLUXO as a gateway, connecting superfans to collectible digital assets and real-world experiences.”
