FUTERA UNITED is the world’s first NFT created community Football Club project.
In 2013, 'Futera FC’ - the world’s first professional Soccer Team managed by an online community - made headlines when it played its inaugural game in an Asian Football League. This unique management method was created by Sports Card Publisher Futera when it turned its digital soccer card game into reality.
Fans voted online from their computers on the team's playing style, formation and tactics as the game played out live, the Manager relaying the community's instructions from the sidelines to the players on the pitch via a virtual management platform. Futera FC reached 4th place in its Division.
Now, in 2021, Futera has taken the 'Futera FC’ legacy to the world stage with an exciting NFT project. What could be more fun for a community than controlling a soccer team? Running its own Club!
Futera is excited to announce the launch of 'FUTERA UNITED’ - the world’s first NFT community Football Club project.
Join us on a journey like no other as the community, backed by blockchain technology, sets out to create a real Football Club from the foundations up!
The project comprises 11,000 programmatically-generated NFT classic soccer cards featuring different traits and rarity, with an exciting Roadmap of monthly competitions and prizes, gamification with sub-communities (#teams), as well as making its mark at grassroots level with charitable donations of Team kits, training-wear, coaching, and helping underprivileged sectors enjoy the beautiful game.
FUTERA UNITED will build a legacy in both the digital and physical world, with the community writing its own history book!
“The community will make key decisions about the players and the Club’s development as it embarks on a real-time journey enjoying real-life experiences. FUTERA UNITED will be next-generation Football,” explains Mark Watson, Futera’s Creative Director.
You are our community, together we are UNITED.

FAQ
WILL YOU BUY A TEAM?
No. Experience tells us that this is very difficult as it increases the variables. If the Community wants to buy a certain team but then the negotiation can't be completed, this process could drag on for years!
We will build the Club from the ground up, allowing for more control for the Community. As a brand that has worked in football for almost 30 years we already have the infrastructure to get this off the ground with access to state-of-the-art training facilities, coaches and players.
Our in-house specialists include ex-players, coaches and industry experts who have extensive experience both off and on the field to guide us!
FUTERA MAKES TRADING CARDS NOT FOOTBALL TEAMS?
We're famous for our premium collectibles, working with some of the biggest football teams in the world such as Liverpool FC, Paris Saint-Germain, Arsenal, Manchester City and more to deliver amazing high-end trading cards. But that's not the full picture - Futera also has a successful division 'Futera Team’ which is the Official Teamwear supplier of top quality apparel to soccer clubs in the Australian market including National Premier League club Adelaide City FC - headed up by A-League winner Adriano Pellegrino who is part of our FUTERA UNITED in-house team. We also host full-size stadium 'Futera Tournaments’ including the ‘Bangkok Cup’- one of the premier girls’/womens’ soccer tournaments in South East Asia.
Oh, and one of our ‘world firsts’ was to create a community-managed professional Football Team in 2013, so we’ve already ‘been there, got the football shirt’.
SO HOW CAN I BUY ONE (or more) OF THESE NFTs?
Futera United will be launched on Opensea in December 2021. Look out for the launch date on our social channels and get your Etherium ready!
HOW MUCH WILL A FUTERA UNITED NFT COST?
We want to build a sustainable model where holders get real value-for-money from their NFT, allowing them to vote on key decisions, enjoy ‘behind-the-scenes’ footage from players, coaches and commentators, watch exclusive streams, and participate in exciting giveaway initiatives and prize opportunities, all as the Community writes its own history book! But we also want it to be affordable so we are looking at a price tag of 0.05 ETH per FUTERA UNITED NFT. We hope to welcome you to the journey!
