Currently is the football world cup going on and everyone is looking to Russia. Football is the most popular sport and United Fans wants to give the fans more power. Fans don't have a platform to get involved in the decision-making of their teams and it is hard for them to participate in the club. Many teams fail to meet their annual budget obligations and many teams are also owned by only a small group of people. United Fans wants to solve these problems with a decentralized platform based on the Ethereum blockchain. They want to include fans into the decision making, like a player transfer or a coach recruitment and help the teams to raise money. It would also be possible to donate coins to poor but talented kids. United Fans believes that the technology will improve the dialog between fans and teams and increase profits.
Fans will have the ability to vote on issues. After the voting a smart contract will execute the decision if the terms are met and goal tokens are sent to the management. The project will use ERC20 tokens based on Ethereum. The application will have a wallet included for the token, which is called goin-coin (GC). Fans can use the tokens to purchase merchandise, vote on issues, raise money for their favorite football club. The application will have a functionality to buy tickets for matches with the tokens. They will also have the possibility to donate tokens to players after an exceptionally match. Currently the presale of the tokens is going until June 30th and after that the ICO starts. The presale bonus is at 50%. In total there will be 130,000,000 tokens issued. The soft cap of the project is at 300,000 USD and the hard cap is at 6,000,000 USD. The minimum amount of purchase is 0.1 Eth. The team will do the ICO in Liechtenstein, which is a small country near Switzerland. United Fans want to launch an MVP in October 2018. The application will be a cross platform mobile app. This is a very revolutionary idea to give the fans more power and include them in the decision making process and it is interesting to see the blockchain technology can also help fans and move forward the relationship between teams and fans. I am curious how teams will accept this new option of interaction with fans and how it will help to evolve the football.
