• More than 65,000 professional football players’ names and images may now be used by Soccerverse thanks to the new license, which significantly increases the game’s credibility.
• Soccerverse offers a level of realism, trust, and immersion that is sometimes lacking in other blockchain games by including players with official licenses.

Football management and trading game inspired by the community Soccerverse and FIFPRO, the international organization that represents professional football players, have inked a deal.

More than 65,000 professional football players’ names and images may now be used by Soccerverse thanks to the new license, which significantly increases the game’s credibility. The game is a decentralized experience that runs on the Polygon blockchain. Players from more than 70 FIFPRO-affiliated member unions, including those in England, France, Italy, Argentina, Portugal, Belgium, Scotland, Norway, and Sweden, are covered by the global license.

Soccerverse offers a level of realism, trust, and immersion that is sometimes lacking in other blockchain games by including players with official licenses. Now, gamers can trade their favorites from the world’s top leagues, manage their teams with real-life players, and compete in a player-driven economy that is really dynamic.

Over the next several weeks, the Soccerverse game will include these officially licensed players, bringing in a new era of excitement and authenticity for all managers as they assemble their teams.

“Partnering with FIFPRO is a landmark moment for Soccerverse and a massive win for our community,” said Andrew Gore, CEO of Soccerverse. “Trust and authenticity are critical to our vision, and this license is our commitment to building a legitimate football universe. This is a true partnership that also supports FIFPRO’s vital mission, providing a global platform for the entire collective of players and giving our community the chance to discover talent from under-represented footballing nations.”

“FIFPRO is delighted to welcome Soccerverse, a community-driven system where fans can shape clubs, share influence, and build something together. We value partners who are willing to innovate and rethink the norm as digital entertainment continues to evolve” stated FIFPRO Commercial Enterprises.

One of Soccer Manager’s original creators, together with a group that has been at the forefront of blockchain gaming since 2013, created Soccerverse, a community-owned and driven football management simulator and trading game. With more than 2,000 active managers, the game has begun a successful second season after being online in January 2025.

The international union of professional football players, FIFPRO, brings together agreements from member nations to provide the most complete bundle of current football players available for collective usage in the digital entertainment industry. This comprises the names, likenesses, and images of over 65,000 male and female athletes in club and national team environments.
