FIFA Partners with Avalanche for a Dedicated Blockchain

The Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), the global governing body of football, has teamed up with the Avalanche blockchain network to develop its own custom blockchain. This partnership was announced ahead of the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, where FIFA previously utilized Algorand’s blockchain for its non-fungible token (NFT) project. The collaboration will see the creation of a dedicated Layer-1 blockchain powered by Avalanche’s subnet technology. This innovative approach is attracting attention within the development community following Avalanche9000’s recent update, which has propelled its usage and adoption.
