FIFA is creating its own blockchain based on Avalanche

The World Football Association will create its own layer one blockchain based on Avalanche technology. This continues the development that began in 2022 with the collection of NFTs for the World Cup in Qatar on Algorand. The new Avalanche L1 blockchain is being developed as an independent, powerful, and customizable blockchain based on the Avalanche ecosystem.

Avalanche is known for its high speed, low fees, and modular scalability - qualities that are critically important for large organizations like FIFA. Avalanche has just completed the 'Avalanche9000' upgrade, aimed at attracting new developers and simplifying the creation of custom blockchains.

FIFA has not yet announced any specific projects beyond NFTs, but the transition to its own blockchain gives hope for future development. In addition to digital collectibles, the new platform may eventually be able to directly display tickets, fan reward systems, real-time statistics, or even fantasy leagues - all within a Web3 environment that provides users with true digital ownership rights.
