The Spanish top-flight league La Liga has become the latest rights-holder to sign a contract with Socios.com.
La Liga has brought onboard Socios.com as their Global Fan Engagement Partner. Both parties have agreed that the goal is to work together and develop fan engagement using various initiatives.
Various special prizes, signed merchandise, free match tickets, and various VIP preferences will be offered via the platform.
Chiliz-owned Socios.com, which was launched back in 2019 now has become quite significant in the footballing industry. The company now has agreements with clubs including Barcelona, Atlético de Madrid, Valencia, and Levante.
La Liga has made its move towards the blockchain market in September when it declared a licensing deal with Sorare.

Alexandre Dreyfus, founder, and chief executive of Socios.com, said today (Tuesday), “It is no coincidence that LaLiga has become the first major European football league to partner with Socios.com.
