Sorare 2024 Review

For those crypto enthusiast and non-fungible token (NFT) lovers among you that spent hours playing Football Manager in the early days, Sorare is a top game for you that you do not want to miss out on!

Sorare has already become the top destination for NFT fantasy football managers by coming up with the perfect recipe with blockchain and fantasy sports as the main ingredients. We are happy to tell you more about Sorare in this review.

What Is Sorare?

Sorare is a global fantasy football game built on the Ethereum (ETH) blockchain, where you can play, acquire, buy, and sell officially licensed digital player cards, NFTs.

Issued as NFT, once you purchase your player card, you have the complete ownership of the card, and it can even be used out of the Sorare environment essentially giving it endless possibilities.

With each NFT player card representing a real football player, rule of thumb is that whenever a player is performing well in real life, his corresponding card increases in demand and value.

What About Sorare’s History?

Sorare was founded in 2018 with a mission to become “the game within the game” where people can connect through their shared passion for football.

Over the past years, the platform has established itself as a trusted marketplace where fans can collect, scout and trade official digital cards. Some of the early investors that are still involved are (ex-) football players, Gerard Piqué and André Schuerrle.

Sorare is supported by gaming giant Ubisoft and trusted by more than a two hundred football clubs, with new clubs joining every month. Furthermore, the game utilizes soccer data and statistics from Opta, ensuring full transparency on data collection and player rankings.
