Visa Masters of Movement is a first-of-its-kind hybrid experience featuring an NFT auction before the tournament and immersive activation in Doha for fans at FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™. Sorry if that was a confusing sentence for you, but welcome to the year 2022! Basically, Visa transformed iconic goals scored by legendary footballers into cool, abstract digital art which was then minted into an NFT on Crypto.com. For example, here’s what THE GOAL Carli Lloyd scored at the 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup™ looked like for millions of fans: Now through the 8th, YOU can bid on the Visa Masters of Movement NFTs on Crypto.com* and own a piece of FIFA World Cup™ history that is truly one-of-a-kind. In addition to the Lloyd goal, the auction features NFTs inspired by goals from legendary footballers Jared Borgetti, Tim Cahill, Michael Owen, and Maxi Rodriguez. And what about that art? The digital artwork is nothing if not abstract and was designed using an algorithm by award-winning XK Studios. The London-based art and design practice used state-of-the-art tracking technology that records every action on the pitch, including player movement, ball position, passes, skill moves, and goals — no movement went unnoticed! The tracking data feeds an artwork algorithm, which produces flowing visualizations of the move as it unfolds. The goal is then exported as a dynamic digital work of art, ready to be minted as an NFT. Bid on the NFTs and if you have the winning bid you get the spoils, which means:
NFT: The dynamic NFT in your Crypto.com wallet.
High-Quality Work of Art: Permission to use for your personal use a high-quality, static copy of the work of art associated with your NFT.
Memorabilia: Signed memorabilia from the player whose NFT you purchased. The memorabilia:
Maxi Rodriguez - Signed match-worn Argentina jersey
Tim Cahill - Signed match-worn Australia jersey from the 2014 FIFA World Cup™
Jared Borgetti - Signed Mexico jersey
Carli Lloyd - Signed U.S. jersey and signed magazine
Michael Owen - Signed match-worn England jersey, boots, and signed copy of his autobiography Reboot All proceeds will benefit Street Child United, a UK charity using the power of sport to change negative perception and treatment of street children worldwide! In addition to the NFT auction, fans can BECOME the artists at FIFA Fan Festival™! In Doha, Qatar, fans can create their own legendary moves in the free-standing Visa Masters of Movement space. Those lucky enough to be in Doha for all the action can step onto the digital LED pitch, where tracking technology will capture and transform your iconic movements into digital art. You can even choose the color scheme based on your favorite nation. Eligible fans can also choose to receive the digital art minted as a one-of-a-kind NFT!
