UDINE, FEBRUARY 10TH: Udinese Calcio, in partnership with Chiliz, the leading blockchain provider for the sports and entertainment industry, have announced that they will launch their official Fan Token $UDI on the Socios.com all-in-one fan engagement and rewards app.
With a proud history stretching back over 125 years, Udinese is an important club of the Italian calcio. Founding its values on knowledge and innovation, as of today, the club has participated to 27 Serie A championships in a row, qualifying 11 times for european competition, which marks a true record for the team led by the Pozzo family.
The $UDI Fan Token will provide I Bianconeri around the world with a tool to engage with and influence the club like never before, giving them the chance to enjoy special discounts and promotions, access exclusive content and earn unique prizes and rewards, from signed merchandise to VIP tickets and once-in-a-lifetime experiences.
In addition to this, for the first time ever, fans will be able to take part in decision-making processes by voting on polls through the Socios.com app to name club facilities, choose kit designs, squad numbers for new signings, celebration songs, inspirational messages and other fan-related topics.
In 2021, Socios.com Fan Token partners launched over 300 Fan Polls on the app and rewarded 5,000 Fan Token holders with club merch, VIP tickets and once-in-a-lifetime experiences such as acting as the club’s official speaker and announcing the lineup in an official home match.
The launching date of the $UDI Fan Token as well as the subject of the first poll will be announced soon.
As part of the partnership, Socios.com will have brand visibility on the training and the pre-match warm-up kits.
Udinese Calcio joins a network of over 120 sporting organisations worldwide which have already embraced Socios.com’s cutting-edge blockchain technology to empower and enhance the experience of their fans. The roster features football giants such as FC Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester City, Juventus, Inter Milan and Arsenal amongst others, but also major MMA brands, Formula 1 teams, esports clubs and NHL, NFL, MLS and NBA franchises.
