Soccerverse Lands FIFPRO Deal, Adds 65K Players to Blockchain Game

- Soccerverse secures FIFPRO license to integrate 65,000 player identities. - Partnership aims to boost realism and trust in blockchain football titles. On December 10, 2025, Cryptopolitan reported that Soccerverse, a decentralized football management game on the Polygon blockchain, secured a global licensing agreement with FIFPRO, the international body for professional footballers. The agreement allows Soccerverse to include the names and images of over 65,000 players from more than 70 member associations in its virtual ecosystem, a milestone that significantly enhances the authenticity and realism of blockchain-based sports titles. Soccerverse will integrate the licensed players in the coming weeks, and the company expects this pivotal update to revolutionize the game’s player marketplace by recalibrating player values and lineup strategies to mirror real-world scouting and team-building tactics. Soccerverse CEO Andrew Gore called the agreement a “landmark moment,” underscoring the company’s commitment to authenticity and highlighting trust as a core pillar of its strategy. In addition to the FIFPRO licensing deal, Soccerverse has broadened its platform by collaborating with Immutable Play. This partnership incorporates reward-based features to enhance user engagement through an interactive quest system that incentivizes players with “Gems,” which they can exchange for in-game rewards to further enrich the user experience. The announcement coincides with the rapid expansion of blockchain gaming in the MENA region, which the Blockchain Game Alliance’s 2025 State of the Industry Report identified as the fastest-growing market in the sector. This year, the region accounts for nearly 20% of all survey respondents, showcasing a notable rise in blockchain gaming adoption and influence.
