Set to go live from Sat 26 Aug 12pm CEST to Sat 2 Sep 2023 2pm CEST, users can access the auction via MatchWornShirt, a key collaborator of the initiative and the global leader in the sale and distribution of official match worn and autographed memorabilia via its own real time marketplace. This is not just another auction, but a significant tech milestone: it marks the first-ever NFTs minted on the Chiliz Chain, the layer-1 blockchain specially designed for the sports industry.
The One Shirt Pledge called on players in March 2023 to donate a match worn shirt from their personal collection. Sports legends such as Juan Mata, Victor Osimhen, Giorgio Chiellini, Cristian Romero, Jermaine Jenas and others have now answered the call and donated their shirts via a video pledge explaining what the donated item means to them, along with their choice of cause within Common Goal’s key action areas of impact. There will be a total of around 30 items for sale. Many of the items have an NFC chip from which owners can access these personalized video pledges, and all of the items have a Proof-of-Authenticity NFT from which owners of the auction items can verify that the item is genuine.These aren’t just digital tokens; they are intricately linked to tangible sports collectibles, providing an unparalleled blend of the physical and the digital.
Chiliz is offering an opportunity for enthusiasts to own a real-world collectible that is seamlessly merged with an NFT. It’s not just about ownership; it’s about witnessing first-hand how technology can validate authenticity and simultaneously support ESG initiatives.Since the announcement of Chiliz as the strategic tech partner for Common Goal earlier this year, the One Shirt Pledge is the first initiative stemming from this collaboration. Both organizations are keenly exploring blockchain not merely as a tool for fundraising but as a transformative instrument for enhancing governance and transparency. This upcoming auction symbolizes the embodiment of that vision, translating tech capabilities into real-world impact as fans who support Common Goal’s mission now have a direct avenue to engage and financially contribute.
The aim remains consistent: fostering a tangible impact in critical areas like Racial Justice, Mental Health, Gender Equity, LGBTQ+ inclusion, Climate Change, and relief endeavors for earthquake victims in Turkey and Syria.“The convergence of technology and sport can be a transformative force. With this auction, we’re not only showcasing Chiliz Chain’s capabilities but also how tech can drive positive social changes. Owning a collectible gets a new dimension when it’s linked to an NFT, ensuring authenticity whilst supporting noble causes,” commented Alexandre Dreyfus, CEO of Chiliz.Full list of collectibles:Name — Pledged ItemVictor Osimhen — SSC Napoli ShirtGiorgio Chiellini — Los Angeles FC Match Issued ShirtCristian Romero — Tottenham Hotspur FC ShirtJermaine Jenas — Tottenham Hotspur FC ShirtJucinara — CR Flamengo ShirtLeon Balogun — Queens Park Rangers FC (QPR) ShirtPK Humble (Percy Kiangebeni) — Hashtag United FC Match Worn ShirtJuan Mata — Galatasaray SK ShirtAlex Teixeira — CR Vasco da Gama ShirtPaulo Henrique Ganso — Fluminense FC ShirtDaniel (Sampaio Simões) — Esporte Clube Bahia ShirtRené Rodrigues Martins — Sport Club Internacional ShirtDonovan Mitchell, Jarrett Allen, Caris LeVert, Robin Lopez — Cleveland Cavaliers Practice JerseysIn addition, participants can bid for Blockasset donated items from Wayne Rooney, Oleksandr Usyk, Alex Pereira, Darren Till, Khamzat Chimaev; along with trading cards from Gilbert Burns, Gregory Rodrigues, Deiveson Figueiredo, and Glover Teixeira.ABOUT CHILIZFounded in 2018, Chiliz is the global blockchain technology business for the web3 sports and entertainment industry and the creator of Fan Tokens and the Socios.com fan engagement and rewards app. Fan Tokens are fungible, scalable utility tokens that allow sports teams to connect with and reward their global fanbases on Socios.com.
