FC Spartak Moscow to Launch $FCSM Fan Token on Socios.com

FC Spartak Moscow, in partnership with Chiliz, the leading blockchain provider for the sports and entertainment industry, have announced that they will launch a $FCSM Fan Token on the Socios.com app.

Spartak will be the first Russian team to embrace Fan Tokens, the digital assets that are redefining the way fans connect with their favourite teams across the global sports industry. The $FCSM Fan Token will give Spartak’s estimated 17 million fans worldwide the chance to engage with and influence the team like never before, starting in a very special year for the club, who will be celebrating the Centenary Anniversary of its foundation in April.

Fans will be able to take part in decision-making processes by voting in polls to choose kit designs, squad numbers for new signings, celebration songs, inspirational messages and other fan-related topics.
