The world’s most iconic football authority, FIFA, is stepping up its Web3 game with a powerful move — launching its very own EVM-compatible blockchain, tailor-made for hosting NFT collections and enhancing fan experiences like never before.
Announced on April 30, this bold shift marks the beginning of a new digital era for FIFA Collect, the official NFT platform. The new “FIFA Blockchain” promises smoother performance, future-ready features, and scalable infrastructure — all built on the trusted backbone of Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) technology.
Starting no earlier than May 20, FIFA will begin migrating its NFT assets from the Algorand blockchain to this shiny new network. Users don’t need to panic or act just yet — FIFA will roll out clear, step-by-step instructions when the migration kicks off.
But here’s what to expect:
Say goodbye to Algorand wallets like Pera and Defly.
Say hello to MetaMask and other EVM-friendly wallets through WalletConnect.
Already-listed collectibles? No stress. They’ll be automatically moved to the new platform — unless you manually delist them before the switch.
FIFA is embracing the future, bringing football fandom and blockchain closer than ever. This isn't just a tech update — it’s a digital transformation for fans, collectors, and crypto enthusiasts worldwide.
