BBC World Service - Business Daily, Crypto and football: Uneasy team mates

We look at the sometimes tricky relationship between clubs, fans and crypto companies

We look at the sometimes tricky relationship. Is it strengthening the fan relationship? Or putting fans in a potentially difficult financial position?

Where next for the sometimes tricky relationship between football and crypto companies? 

We look at how some of the biggest clubs, and players, have embraced crypto products, and what that means for supporters. 

From fan engagement tokens to NFTs, advertised by the world’s biggest stars, to deals with Premier League clubs which turned out to be fraudulent. Is it putting fans in a potentially difficult financial position? 

Or just giving them another way to support the team they love?

Produced and presented by Imran Rahman-Jones
