That's a first in football I believe?
A Serie C club (Rimini), Italian 3rd league, will have 25% of its shares sold in the form of a cryptocurrency transaction, following partnership with Quantocoin. Never heard about this Quantacoin before but a look on their website https://quantocoin.io and it looks quite promising.

Not the first actually. There are already facts about selling tickets (for crypto) to the football matches with help of blockchain and some other examples around football especially.
It looks mostly not like something good for crypto community but rather for a 3rd league football team as it will bring more attention to them because of crypto hype.

I agree with you. Previously there were also football clubs that partnership with cryptocurrency. like the Arsenal club that partnership with the US cryptocurrency CashBet.

I think this can be mutually beneficial for both parties.
