Cristiano Ronaldo, the famed football megastar, is diving deeper into the digital token universe by launching a new Non-Fungible Token (NFT) series with Binance. This unique collection named ‘Forever Worldwide: The Road to Saudi Arabia,’ traces Ronaldo’s journey from his roots in Madeira as a budding teenager, to key milestones at Manchester United and Real Madrid, capturing his illustrious career arc.
Working with local artists from several landmark cities in Ronaldo’s career, including Madeira, Lisbon, Manchester, Madrid, Turin, Saudi Arabia, and Portugal, Binance aims to each NFT a unique piece. Ronaldo’s motive behind this collection is to provide his fans with exclusive digital art commemorating his career. The NFTs will also offer some holders to create a special moment with Ronaldo himself in Riyadh.
The ‘Forever Worldwide’ NFT series will roll out in two phases, with the first already out on May 29, featuring artworks from Madeira, Lisbon, and Manchester, representing Ronaldo’s early career. The second phase, scheduled for June 6, displaying Madrid, Turin, and Saudi Arabia, mirrors Ronaldo’s current role at Al-Nassr FC. Subsequently, an exclusive seven-piece NFT collection designed by Portuguese street artist Mr. Dheo, charting Ronaldo’s extended career with Portugal, will hit the auction floor.
These NFTs are far from just digital art. They come with a medley of tangible perks. Think vintage jerseys, precious game tickets, and signed posters. Some lucky collectors could also get their queries answered by Ronaldo himself in customized videos. And for those who manage to snag one of the super rare Portugal NFTs, they can look forward to an extraordinary, in-person experience with Ronaldo, featuring a trip to Riyadh for a match and a personal goal celebration moment on set with the star.
