In a recent development that's set to excite football enthusiasts, Chiliz, a leading blockchain provider for the sports industry, has announced a strategic partnership with game studio Unagi and the French Professional Football League. This collaboration marks the birth of Coach Ligue 1, the first-ever fantasy football game developed directly by a football league.
The announcement was made on Chiliz's official Medium channel, where they described Coach Ligue 1 as a 'groundbreaking fantasy game' that leverages the power of their native cryptocurrency, $CHZ. This innovative platform is expected to offer fans an immersive experience in managing virtual teams using real-life football league data.
Moreover, Chiliz has also been promoting an initiative that encourages users to stake their $CHZ with the PSG validator on the Chiliz Chain. Participants who demonstrate their knowledge of staking, Chiliz Chain, and Paris Saint-Germain through daily questions have the opportunity to win a share of a 2,700 $CHZ prize pool. This event aims to engage the community and increase awareness about the functionalities of the Chiliz ecosystem.
Interested individuals are invited to join the conversation and participate in community events by joining Chiliz's Discord server. The official announcement includes a link to their Discord server for those who wish to get involved.
This partnership between Chiliz and the French Professional Football League is a significant step towards integrating blockchain technology with mainstream sports entertainment.
