In an exciting collaboration, FC Barcelona has teamed up with the unique NFT project, World of Women (WoW), for the highly-anticipated second release of its ‘Masterpieces’ collection. This time, the spotlight is on a legendary player from FC Barcelona’s women’s team, who champions women’s empowerment in sports.
The NFT series, appropriately named ‘Empowerment’ and designed by Rhi Madeline, pays tribute to Alexia Putellas, the captain of FC Barcelona’s women’s club. These collectibles beautifully showcase her remarkable performance during the Women’s Champions League semi-final match in 2022. Putellas scored two incredible goals against Wolfsburg, leading her team to a glorious victory.
To have the chance to own one of these empowering NFTs, a two-day auction will take place on the OpenSea marketplace from June 26 to 28. Considering the price point of previous Masterpieces collectibles, this is an opportunity that collectors should not miss.
FC Barcelona’s Excursion into the NFT World FC Barcelona made its entrance into the world of NFTs with the Masterpiece collectibles, which paid tribute to the Dutch soccer legend Johan Cruyff. Remarkably, one of the assets, ‘In A Way, Immortal,’ fetched a staggering $693,000 at a Sotheby’s auction.
The high value of this asset can be attributed to Cruyff’s status as one of the most iconic players in football history. His successful tenure in the mid-1970s, along with his subsequent role as the club’s manager, where he led the team to numerous victories and titles, further enhanced his legacy. Additionally, owning these assets granted exclusive privileges such as meet-and-greets with players and the opportunity to play at the renowned Spotify Camp Nou stadium.
FC Barcelona’s foray into the Web3 space doesn’t stop there. Recently, they partnered with Plastik to launch the inspiring NFT collection ‘Unleash Your Passion,’ which aims to tackle the plastic waste crisis. Holders of these NFTs have the unique opportunity to own signed football shirts by FC Barcelona’s players.
FC Barcelona’s latest collaboration with World of Women once again intertwines sports and social responsibility, addressing ongoing issues while allowing fans to own a piece of football history.
