The NFT collection will launch in April 2022 and will celebrate Maradona's life through 10,000 unique NFTs. A percentage of primary sales will be donated to children's charities in Buenos Aires and Naples.
Fanz is a British technology company, targeting the global football community. Fanz enable football legends, players and teams access to digital artists, technology, and communities to launch and monetize NFTs, as well as play to earn games and access the metaverse. Fanz's vision is to help the next generation of football fans become owners, not customers, through the blockchain.
Fanz founder Sam Jones said, "There are no greater legends in the game than Diego Maradona. Arguably the most talented player in history, he lifted the World Cup in 1986 and anyone who watched him play will never forget him. Honouring him on the Fanz platform is our privilege. The greatest art form of blockchain is not the NFTs themselves, but the smart contracts on which they are built. In this case, we will make sure that a percentage of every NFT sold is given to children's charities in Maradona's name."
"Launching this project with Fanz in the name of Maradona is an exciting tribute to his legacy. That part of the proceeds went to children's charities in Naples and Buenos Aires where Diego has always identified himself was his eternal desire. He always put children and needy people first," Stefano Ceci.
