These NFTs will allow users to enter the draw for an exclusive experience that will include a trip and hotel nights, as well as tickets to see a live match of the team.
On August 19, Atletico Madrid confirmed the new partnership with WhaleFin to launch a collection of 1,001 football boots in NFT format exclusively on the STEPN mobile application.
The initiative is part of the collaboration between Atlético de Madrid and WhaleFin, Amber Group’s reference platform, major sponsor, and Official Digital Wealth and Lifestyle Partner of the club.

Atletico Madrid will create a limited edition of 1,001 football boots divided into three groups; Common, Uncommon, and Rare. The first batch of 850 Common football boots will feature the club’s national and international titles, including the date and the place there initially won.
The second edition will feature 140 uncommon boots and will commemorate the stadium. The club will number the remaining 11 rare boots from 1 to 11, representing the number of footballers who appears at the start of each match.
These NFTs will allow users to enter the draw for an exclusive experience that will include a trip and hotel nights, as well as tickets to see a live match of the team at the Cívitas Metropolitano.
According to the team, the NFT collections will debut before the end of this month. 10% of the profit from the NFT sales will go towards the Atlético de Madrid Foundation to finance International Schools.
