Italian football giant AC Milan has partnered with MonkeyLeague, and the startup is now Rossoneri’s new NFT gaming partner.
Italian football club AC Milan announced a partnership with the MokeyLeague on Friday 23 September.
MonkeyLeague is a AAA quality web3 football game built on the Solana blockchain.
In a press release shared with Coinjournal, AC Milan said Monkey League has become an official NFT gaming partner.
MonkeyLeague is a strategy-based football game where users build and manage their own dream team of at least 6 MonkeyPlayer NFTs. Players consist of strikers, defenders, goalkeepers and midfielders.
Users can play against real players and work their way up the league rank. MonkeyBucks ($MBS) is the game’s native token, and MonkeyLeague has an in-game asset that holds value inside and outside the game.
Commenting on this latest development, AC Milan Chief Sales Officer Casper Stylsvig said:
We are delighted to begin our partnership with the Monkey League, which will allow us to strengthen our position in the field of digital innovation. We’re especially proud to bring the game to life and offer new and innovative ways to engage with your favorite teams.”
AC Milan has revealed that the partnership will also include the creation of exclusive Rossoneri-branded NFT game assets, wearables and special game tournaments. The two entities will also collaborate on many other exciting initiatives, such as co-selling events and playtesting games with club players.
MonkeyLeague will also be working closely with AC Milan to launch a new collection of branded AC Milan NFT game assets, including new MonkeyPlayers, skins and stadiums.
Oren Langberg, Head of Marketing and Partnerships at MonkeyLeague, said:
To partner with a champion like AC Milan, an absolutely iconic club throughout the history of football, is another example of what we are building and where we are going as a game and game studio. One piece of evidence. It’s also an important step in our plan to bridge the Web2 and Web3 worlds.”
MonkeyLeague said it will partner with AC Milan to launch the first MonkeyPlayer NFT breeding season.
As part of the deal, AC Milan has concluded that it will sponsor a number of high-profile future Monkey League esports tournaments that will bring together the game’s best players from around the world to play in hotly contested matches. rice field.
