The Next Generation of Fan Engagement

As the world becomes more digitized, the sports industry is not immune to this trend. The use of digital technology is already changing the way fans consume and engage with their favorite sports teams and brands. The rise of Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) is the latest technology disrupting the sports industry, and it’s changing the way we think about fan engagement.

Zetly — a bridge between sports and the digital world

In Zetly, through NFTs, we are building a bridge to the digital world for all sports. We work with sports teams, brands, and athletes to create unique digital collectibles that offer fans an immersive and interactive experience.

We’re leveraging the power of blockchain technology to ensure the authenticity and scarcity of each of the NFTs that represents fans’ favourite sports teams, players, and moments. These digital assets not only serve as collectibles but also provide utility and exclusive benefits to their owners.

Digital Twins — transcending boundaries


One way NFTs are being used in sports is through Digital Twins. A Digital Twin is a digital representation of a physical object or system that can be used to simulate, test, and analyze the object or system in a virtual environment. In the sports industry, Digital Twins can be used to create a virtual representation of a stadium, allowing fans to experience the atmosphere of a game from their own homes.

The introduction of Digital Twins brings fan engagement to the next level. Imagine owning an NFT that grants you access to a virtual version of your favourite team’s locker room, where you can explore and interact with memorabilia and engage with other fans. This type of fan engagement goes way beyond traditional sports memorabilia and brings fans closer to the action in a virtual setting.

Global Reach: Expanding E-Commerce Opportunities

The downfall of traditional sports memorabilia is its limitation in terms of distribution, as it relies on physical objects. Zetly comes with the solution to this issue by enabling brands to sell digital assets to fans all over the world, opening up a new revenue stream and making it easier for fans to access and collect sports memorabilia.


Enhancing fan value

Digital assets need to have utility beyond just being collectible in order to increase their value and sustainability. NFTs with utility can offer their owners additional benefits, such as access to exclusive content or events, discounts on merchandise, or even the ability to influence team decisions. This gives fans a more tangible and meaningful connection to their favorite sports brands, as they are no longer just buying a physical or digital asset, but rather an experience or privilege.

In addition, NFTs with utility can also increase the overall value of a sports brand’s ecosystem. By providing additional benefits to NFT holders, sports brands can create a loyal and engaged community of fans who are more likely to participate in future sales and promotions. This creates a self-sustaining cycle of value creation, where the more utility an NFT has, the more valuable it becomes, and the more valuable it becomes, the more utility it can offer. And that’s what we emphasize with Zetly — creating strong utilities for all athletes, teams, and fans.

Conclusion

Overall, NFTs with utility are an important development in the sports industry, as they offer a new level of engagement and value to fans. Zetly actively participates in this revolution through working with sports brands to create immersive and interactive experiences for fans. By providing additional benefits beyond just being collectible, teams can create a loyal and engaged community of fans who are more likely to participate in future sales and promotions. This creates a win-win situation for both the sports brand and its fans, and it’s something that should not be ignored in the rapidly changing digital landscape of the sports industry.
