AFL’s Metaverse Roadmap 

AFL Mint has plans to build on the idea and offer game day events, tickets, and the ability to meet footballers in the Metaverse. NFTs are virtual certificates stored on the blockchain that prove the title of a digital or physical item, frequently an artwork.

According to Kylie Rogers, EGM of customer and commercial at the AFL, they seek to improve fan experiences through technology.

Through our AFL Mint brand, we will introduce thrilling new moments in both our men’s and women’s tournaments, as well as honour former greats and produce additional products that will bring a novel fan experience we have never seen before.

The AFL announced in April that their NFT marketplace, AFL Mint, has signed a five-year partnership with Be Media, a Perth-based division of Hong Kong’s leading NFT gaming company, Animoca Brands.

Reportedly, in 2023, the enthusiasts and sports fans holding the collection will be able to trade these NFTs.
