FIFA+ Collect Enables Fans to Compete with Licensed Digital NFTs

— February 10, 2023 — Tech
The FIFA+ Collect service is a new way for football fans to bring their passion for the sport to life. With this service, you can collect, own, and compete with officially licensed digital collectibles from FIFA's 92-year history. This includes the most memorable moments from FIFA World Cup™ tournaments, such as Greatest Upsets, Free Kick Goals, and more.

You can open packs of three random highlights for a chance to add unique collectibles to your collection or trade your most sought-after highlights with other users on the Marketplace. The quality and rarity of your favorite highlights can earn you valuable rewards, which can be used in Challenges to get free packs and more. By building a collection, competing in Challenges, and earning rewards, FIFA+ Collect provides an exciting way for fans to engage with their favorite sport and show off their fandom.
