In an exciting development for sports and digital entertainment, SPORTPASS has announced a partnership with Queens Park Rangers (QPR), the London-based football club. This collaboration ushers in a new chapter of fan engagement by integrating SPORTPASS’s innovative gaming platform with the vibrant culture and passionate fanbase of QPR. As a subsidiary of Animoca Brands, SPORTPASS is set to enrich the QPR fan experience through an array of unique features, including immersive gaming experiences, digital and physical collectibles, and exclusive real-world rewards.
Central to this partnership is the introduction of a gaming portal that boasts 200 unique turf collectibles from QPR’s Loftus Road Stadium. These collectibles not only celebrate memorable moments from the 2013-2023 seasons but also offer fans a tangible piece of history by including actual turf from the stadium alongside digital player memory cards. This blend of physical and digital memorabilia is designed to deepen fans’ connection to their favorite moments and players through a novel QR code linking mechanism.
Euan Inglis, the Commercial Director of Queens Park Rangers, expressed his excitement over the partnership, emphasizing its role in expanding the club’s digital footprint and enhancing fan engagement. “We are thrilled to announce our collaboration with Web3 pioneers SPORTPASS and Animoca Brands to launch our gamification offerings,” said Inglis.
