The football team in Cyprus won against rivals after allowing fans to use blockchain technology and fan tokens to vote on their lineup and formation, raising fan involvement to a new level.
Apollon FC, using the fan tokens on the Socios.com platform, won a friendly match against rivals Aris Limassol, said Socios in one of the posts. Apollon won six goals to zero.
With Socios, Apollon's fans who bought his token for APL fans had a chance to vote in a series of polls. They determined the composition of the team on the pitch and selected its attackers. Fans chose 4-2-3-1 formation, which means that they wanted to have four players in defense, two midfielders in defense, three attacking midfielders and one attacker. Three of the four players voted by the fans scored goals during the match.
According to Socios, APL increased by 13% during the match.
And it looks like Apollon will still let the fans dictate certain aspects of the team.
Socios cooperates with many football clubs around the world, including very popular ones such as Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain and Juventus. The Token fan of Barcelona BAR sold out in even less than two hours. Socios also issued the Socios.com Visa debit card to enable users to win prizes and other benefits from their chosen football club.
