Chiliz recently announced a partnership with Crypto Blockchain Industries, aiming to integrate the Chiliz Chain into Football at AlphaVerse (FAV) – a 3D virtual world dedicated to football. Here’s a closer look at this partnership and its potential for football fans around the world.
Football at AlphaVerse: the new digital playground
Founded and based in France, CBI is developing a virtual world called AlphaVerse. AlphaVerse is slated for a launch later this year and promises to be a melting pot of multiple universes and entertainment platforms. Users are expected to have immersive 3D experiences within the vast expanse, promoting engagement and interactive access to content.
Central to the collaboration between Chiliz Labs and CBI is Football at AlphaVerse (FASFC). Powered by AI, this platform is intended to be an interactive 3D entertainment space dedicated exclusively to football. FAV has attracted attention with official football club licenses, paving the way for unique football experiences for fans. Clubs like Real Betis and São Paulo FC are becoming part of the FAV ecosystem.
Created “By the players – For the players”, the platform promises to provide users with a versatile experience within the football-focused virtual world. Users can Explore, dive into special environments, interact with other fans and discover exclusive content. They can play, play both solo and multiplayer mini-games while reaping in-game rewards.
The Collect aspect allows users to collect NFTs reminiscent of events, stadium seats and trophies, adding a tangible connection to their virtual experiences. Finally, the Earn component introduces an innovative dimension; through in-game activities and NFT acquisitions, players can obtain tangible benefits such as tickets, jerseys or exclusive meet-and-greets, further bridging the gap between the virtual and real worlds.
The $FAV Utility token
The $FAV utility token, based on the Chiliz Chain, is an integral part of the FAV realm. The outlined maximum supply for this utility token is limited to 11 billion units. These will be made available to the user base incrementally, optimizing distribution dynamics.
Socios.com, Chiliz’s flagship fan engagement application, will witness improved usability for its Fan Token holders. These holders can delve into the FAV universe, enjoy games, get their hands on exclusive digital merchandise and win coveted prizes. In addition, $FAV tokens are set to be aligned with specific fan tokens, though precise details have yet to be revealed.
In addition, several web3 sports projects will be unveiled in the coming months, encompassing various innovative aspects. These include community platforms powered by rewards and engagement, social gaming environments, AI-powered content platforms, premium 3D digital sports collectibles, and NFT-based ticketing solutions.
Frédéric Chesnais, the mind behind CBI and AlphaVerse, expressed his enthusiasm by saying: “Partnering with Chiliz Labs and integrating Chiliz Chain into the AlphaVerse are logical steps for us given Chiliz’s footprint on the blockchain in general and in the football world in particular.”

Chiliz fan tokens
With Chiliz, the architect behind Fan Tokens and Socios.com, collaborating with CBI’s visions, the horizons of virtual football experiences will expand. With giants of world sports such as FC Barcelona and Manchester City already joined the Socios.com and Fan Token ecosystem, the future looks bright for football fans venturing into the digital realm.
At the helm of Chiliz, Alexandre Dreyfus expressed: “Through Chiliz Chain and Chiliz Labs, we have developed the infrastructure and support network that will allow companies focused on creating long-term, utility-focused sports projects to thrive.”
Conclusion
AlphaVerse (FAV)’s partnership in creating Football illustrates the growing trend of integrating Web3 technologies with traditional entertainment industries. Combining the innovative use of NFTs, virtual environments and fan engagement, the initiative reflects the broader movement towards a decentralized web.
By facilitating the collection of NFTs that offer virtual and tangible rewards, FAV provides a glimpse into how Web3 is changing the way fans interact with their favorite sports. This collaboration illustrates the potential of NFTs not only as collectibles, but also as unique keys that unlock new experiences within a digital metaverse.
