The International Federation of Association Football (FIFA)<\/strong> is relocating its fan-focused NFT platform, FIFA Collect<\/strong>, to a new destination. Previously hosted on Algorand<\/strong><\/a> and later expanded to Polygon<\/strong>, these NFTs will now be migrated to FIFA\u2019s own Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM)-compatible blockchain<\/strong>, called the FIFA Blockchain<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Back in March, comments by FIFA President Gianni Infantino<\/strong> about entering the crypto world triggered a rally in the price of FIFA Coin<\/strong>, a token created on the Pump.fun platform.<\/p>\n

    <\/span>NFT Holders Must Take Action Before This Date<\/span><\/h3>\n

    The migration process will start no earlier than May 20, 2025<\/strong>. If you hold FIFA NFTs outside the official platform<\/strong>, you must reimport them before this date<\/strong> \u2014 otherwise, you may lose the ability to trade them<\/strong> within the platform.<\/p>\n

    <\/span>Why a New Blockchain?<\/span><\/h3>\n

    According to FIFA\u2019s official statement, the key goals of this migration are to:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • \n

      Enable new user experiences<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      Improve wallet compatibility<\/strong> (especially with EVM wallets like MetaMask<\/strong>)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      Establish a stronger foundation for future innovations<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Thanks to this new network, users can expect a smoother experience<\/strong>, and FIFA NFTs will become more compatible with broader Web3 platforms<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Also, remember that FIFARivals<\/strong> is an officially licensed game by FIFAcom<\/strong>. FIFA Rivals is fully integrated with the Polkadot network<\/strong>, offering a more decentralized and dynamic gaming experience<\/strong> through Mythical\u2019s blockchain infrastructure<\/strong>.
