Brokered by SPORTFIVE, the partnership will see DAC and BVB launch a blockchain-based, football metaversal casual action game with cartoon-styled digital collectibles based on the football club’s players in the 2022/2023 season.

Since its establishment, it has won eight league championships, five DFB-Pokals, one UEFA Champions League, one Intercontinental Cup, and one UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup.
