Matchday, a Web3 gaming startup focused on soccer, has secured $21 million in seed funding for the development of a suite of games. The funding round featured participation from Lionel Messi’s venture capital firm, Play Time, along with other firms such as Greylock, HackVC, Capricorn Investment Group, Horizons Ventures, and Courtside Ventures. Alexia Putellas, a Spanish soccer star, serves as Matchday’s founding global ambassador.
The startup has an official license from FIFA and FIFPRO players association, with games that are expected to be optimized for casual users. The Chief Gaming Officer of Matchday, Sebastien de Halleux, is a former executive of Electronic Arts (EA), where he worked on the FIFA game series and the Madden NFT franchise.
In the Web3 gaming world, digital items are typically registered on-chain as Non Fungible Tokens, unique blockchain tokens that signify ownership over digital assets such as in-game characters and items. Soccer giants such as Sorare have already made considerable progress in Web3, raising $680 million at a $4.3 billion valuation in 2021 and expanding to other sports. FIFA has launched an NFT crypto platform on Algorand (ALGO), while teams have released Socios fan tokens that sometimes rise or drop in price based on their performance on the pitch.
