Problem Statement
The sports and fan engagement industry faces challenges in adapting to Web3 due to fragmented technology, lack of meaningful engagement tools, and complicated onboarding processes. Fans struggle to navigate different platforms for live scores, collectibles, and interactions, while sports clubs lack a unified platform to connect with their audiences in an efficient and engaging manner.

Key Features:
- NFT-Based Fan Engagement: Fans can own, trade, and interact with digital collectibles that enhance their sports experience.

- Multi-Chain NFT Marketplace: Aggregates digital assets from multiple blockchains, providing seamless access to sports collectibles.
- Club & Federation Partnerships: Enables teams to create direct, meaningful engagement campaigns with their fans.
By merging blockchain technology with sports passion, Sphera World transforms fan engagement into a more immersive, rewarding experience.

- Mainstream Onboarding: Access to 60 million unique monthly users from Kooora, the largest Arabic sports platform.
- NFT Market Expansion: Over 750 NFTs sold, with a goal of 5,000 NFTs by TGE.
