After so many bad news and attempts in adopting crypto as way of financing in sport found out that some have gone one step ahead on this topic. Mostly i mean on football. So far two thing i have found one is sponsorship and another is paying player in crypto. Maybe its next big thing for using crypto and maybe we will see much more in future, maybe from china cuz they invest huge amount of money in this sport, mostly by bringing big names in Europe football there to play.

About what i have found. First its Wolves, team that is playing this season in premiership and have good potencial to stay this season there, so CoinDeal (as crypto company) will hope to cash in on this upward trajectory with the clubs first ever sleeve sponsorship deal, this includes team jerseys and comercial in and around stadium. Good and bold move for them. Unfortunately or maybe something else, but, they offered one year deal, to see if this is worth the effort. CoinDeals logo will appear on the left sleeve of Wolves matchday kits next season. Good for the team.

Second is Gibraltar United, a Premium Division football team, will become the first football team to pay its players in cryptocurrency next season. According to some news papers and team owner Pablo Dana, who has invested in Quantocoin, a platform designed to provide cryptocurrencies for everyday uses, has started a sponsorship partnership, one of several instances of football teams and athletes finding use for cryptocurrencies. On top of this announcement Gibraltars financial sector has embraced blockchain technology and is leading the state in its adoption. This mean that they will have fully adopting crypto in next few years and also Gibraltars government also plans to introduce a regulatory framework for ICOs (this i didnt check so may be only a rumor).

We see that this is good progress for crypto addopting in sport, foorball for moment, but we can expect to see this used globally in near future, maybe in basketball or automoto sport.

Yes i definitely agree with you, sports can be one of the most useful applications of cryptocurrency in the daily life of people , this wil make it easier for athlés to get paid, and will increase the anonymity of their salary and will keep their life more private .
