Abstract

As unique digital identifiers based on blockchain technology, NFTs help record ownership of sports memorabilia in a virtual space. Until now, consumers could only own non-digital items, such as trading cards, branded clothing and various types of print content (Wilson et al., 2021). Blockchain technology applied to non-fungible tokens (NFTs), is revolutionizing the way content is created, exchanged, stored and authenticated for content creators and their fans (Malhotra et al., 2021). Sport offers exceptional ground from the point of view of supply and demand from collectors and brands. We interviewed five major players in the French NFT market in 2023. As a new marketing tool, they offer an additional avenue to explore to boost the relationship with consumers while promoting different innovative sports experiences based on a deeper digital engagement with fans. Each community being different, the challenge remains to articulate an NFT strategy with the marketing approach of the brand.
