World Cup in the Metaverse?

Posted by Micah Balazs on

Upland and FIFA have a multi-year partnership!

 

  The Upland community and FIFA football fans worldwide will now be able to collect, trade, and own FIFA digital assets and game video highlights, pursuing a joint mission to help fans get a better understanding of how the metaverse and web3 work. Through the experience, fans will learn how to participate and contribute to the virtual community-driven environment. New Metaventures and Legit fan shops give many opportunities for fans to support their favorite national team!

  Upland will work with FIFA to create fun, gamified experiences in the largest open metaverse mapped to the real world with over 3 million registered accounts. A fully constructed replica of the Lusail Stadium, alongside a FIFA branded village, shops, and showrooms, will be added to their real-world addresses in Upland which fans can visit virtually.

  Upland also introduces collection's game for the football fans. There are a limited number of mystery bundles like the Starter Pack and multiple rarities available. They include country specific team crests, boots, shirts and historic World Cup logos, posters, and mascots so that fans can complete digital collection albums across all thirty-two (32) country teams represented. Completing collections will contribute to a user’s fan score, and those with the highest scores will win prizes, including, for example, the Lusail Stadium as virtual property in the metaverse! That's right someone will win the Qatar Lusail Stadium. Many other core game mechanics include the possibility to obtain special mementos of this year’s tournament; including video highlights of the games which cannot be purchased directly from Upland.

  There are twenty-two (22) real world cities open in Upland, where fans can start their metaverse journey by acquiring and trading virtual properties that are based on real-world addresses. Fans can now add buildings and prominently display their World Cup pride in the form of country flags and Qatar branded outdoor decor items, adding more value to the properties themselves. Fans will also have the opportunity to become metaverse entrepreneurs and create shops on their properties to sell their collected assets to other players.

  The FIFA World Cup journey culminates with the final on December 18, 2022 and as the world celebrates the winner in reality, so too will Upland. Upland will announce its first ever capital city for the winning nation, and the legacy of the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 will remain intact in Upland with elements of the metaverse replica of the stadiums, shops, showrooms, and properties given as prizes to fans with the most album collections of digital assets and videos acquired in Upland.

Upland is available to download for free on iOS, Android and the web, and can be played from anywhere in the world.
