With a fan base of millions around the world, sport brings together people from different countries and cultures. It becomes a form of friendship when fans from all walks of life gather to watch their favorite teams and players play against each other.

NFTs introduce a new way for sports teams and athletes to engage with fans, and give regular fans another way to show their support for their favorite teams and players. This development ushered in a new era of sports collectibles, in some cases allowing fans to play a decisive role in their favorite clubs.

Most sports NFTs feature trading cards or game pieces where users can participate in exciting events and compete against each other in the game. Some sports teams also offer additional perks, unlocked after purchasing an NFT, such as the chance to meet your sports idol in person and influence team decisions.

NBA Top Shot

For basketball fans, NBA Top Shot is a great platform. Here fans can buy and sell classic moments (Moments) NFT on the basketball court. These Moments are classic moments of your favorite players, officially authorized by the NBA. You can think of Moments as traditional basketball trading cards with a modern digital twist.

Each player has a range of clips to choose from, from different seasons and in different versions. Every"time"All have multiple copies, and all are labeled with either a Circulating Quantity (CC) or a Limited Edition (LE) label. The CC label means that the supply of this NFT may further increase due to new releases, while the LE label means that this NFT will not have new copies issued in the future.

Create a Dapper account on NBA Top Shot, put some funds in your wallet, and start collecting. You can top up your Dapper wallet balance with credit cards or cryptocurrencies. Currently only five cryptocurrencies are supported - Bitcoin, Ethereum, BCH, Litecoin and USDC.

You can get NFTs of these classic moments by purchasing NBA Top Shot packs. This type of purchase is called an airdrop (primary market), and you don't know what moments will be in each bag. These airdrops are on sale at pre-designated times and you have to be lucky to snag them as they sell out quickly.

If you miss the opportunity to buy the airdrop, you can buy NFT from other users on NBA Top Shot's trading market (secondary market). The price of an instant can range from $4 to over $200,000, depending on the rarity and grade of the NFT.

Note that not all packs are suitable for everyone. Some NFT packs are exclusively for first-time collectors, but moment NFT packs with higher rarities may require collectors to reach a certain collector score before they can be purchased. Collector Score is calculated based on the rarity and level of the Moment NFTs you collect.

NBA Top Shot Moments is an NFT issued on the Flow chain. This means that after you purchase a Moments, you have the right to resell the Moments you purchased to other users. You can sort through the list of Moments on the marketplace to find the lowest priced Moments or Moments with unique attributes, such as a serial number that corresponds to a player's jersey number. Please note that there is a 5% marketplace fee for selling on the NBA Top Shot marketplace.

For more information on past transactions and historic prices, collectors can head over to Own The Moment (https://otmnft.com/) or Evaluate.Market(https://evaluate.market/). Here, you can find large transaction changes at individual moments and the distribution of circulation. You can even gauge the value of your collectibles by your username.

Another interesting play on NBA Top Shot is the Challenge, which requires collectors to acquire and hold specific Moments NFTs in order to receive exclusive Moments as rewards. Rewards can only be earned through these Challenges, not through airdrops. In order to complete the challenge and receive the reward, the user needs to hold the desired moment until the end of the challenge.

Sorare

If basketball isn't your thing, soccer might pique your interest. Similar to Top Shot, you can buy NFTs in the form of player cards. Then you can use player cards to form your football dream team, and the real performance of the players you pick will determine the number of points scored by your team.

It's played very much like the traditional game fantasy football, where you, as the manager, choose your team to play during the week and score points based on the performance of the players. In Sorare, you can only choose five players and appoint a captain. The main difference is scarcity.

In the 2020-2021 season, the rarity is divided into three levels. The number of copies of each level is limited. There are only 100 rares, 10 super rares and 1 unique. Obviously these unique cards are worth a lot, and even more so if they have world-class talent like Mbappe or Ronaldo. In March 2021, Ronaldo's unique player card was sold for $290,000.

If you are looking for new players to add to your roster, you can buy the strongest soccer players and your favorite players in the market. You can deposit funds into your Sorare wallet using your credit card, bank transfer or cryptocurrency. The cards are not denominated in dollars but in euros, so check that you have sufficient funds.

You can buy existing player cards from other managers in the market, or buy new player cards by participating in market auctions. If you are outbid by other users, you will be refunded immediately.

A player's score shows his performance on the pitch, while a card's score is derived from a player's score plus bonuses based on the card's own unique characteristics. For example, say you have a rare card with a player score of 80 and a 10% bonus. Therefore, the card score for the week will be 88% (80 x 1.1).

While higher rarities have higher bonuses, experience points can help your players advance to higher levels. Every time a card is played during the week, it will gain experience points, which will gradually increase the level of the card, and each level will receive an additional 0.5% bonus. Note that a card can be leveled up to 20 times, but it takes about three years to do so.

As a soccer game, leagues are one of the main features of Sorare. The league is divided into four different divisions, each with its card requirements to ensure a more competitive playing environment. For example, District 4 requires at least 4 rare player cards, while District 1 requires at least 3 unique player cards to participate. By participating in weekly leagues, you have the chance to win even more cards and even some ether.

Sorare combines the traditional fantasy football experience with digital collectibles, appealing to cryptocurrency enthusiasts and soccer fans alike. While it might seem like a paid experience, with all the rarest cards having the strongest bonuses, you can build your lineup using free cards and climb to the top from there.

Chiliz

While fans are an important part of the team, they are rarely involved in the decisions that drive the team's growth and future. Chiliz is changing that by offering fan tokens on their platform, giving die-hard fans the power to vote in fan-led decisions, access to exclusive events, and reward fans with NFTs.

By partnering with major football clubs like Juventus and even esports organizations like Natus Vincere, Chiliz has been able to offer their respective team’s fan tokens through their own Chiliz Exchange. Their native Chiliz token, CHZ, is used as the currency for their exchange and fan rewards app, Socios.

Since all fan tokens are paired with CHZ on the Chiliz exchange, you need to earn some before you start influencing decisions and showing support for your favorite team. You can also get Fan Tokens using common cryptocurrencies from other exchanges such as Binance.

As mentioned above, these fan tokens can be used to influence team selections, such as choosing a message for the captain's armband, or even designing a new team bus design! These tokens can be used to influence team selection. Best of all, you only need one token to gain voting power, but having more tokens gives you more power to influence the outcome.

fan token"fan token", known as the SSU, can be used to vote on changes and additional features to the application.
