Manchester City Fan Token (CITY) is a digital asset issued by Socios.com, an application operating on the Chiliz (CHZ) blockchain. Socios has also produced fan tokens for various other football teams—notably Paris Saint-Germain (PSG)—as well as for UFC and motorsport entities. These tokens provide owners with a role in club governance, enabling them to vote on certain decisions, gain VIP perks, and participate in exclusive offers, games, and recognition programs.

Inspired by the strong performance of the PSG token launch in January 2020, Manchester City Football Club introduced CITY in March 2021. The token’s future performance is expected to rely largely on the team’s athletic results and advancements in blockchain tech. The market value of the token rose amid rumors that Cristiano Ronaldo might sign with the club, but fell once the transfer did not happen.

The Manchester City Fan Token was established by Socios.com, a Chiliz-powered application that enables sports enthusiasts to interact with their preferred teams and organizations. Alexandre Dreyfus, who also serves as the CEO of Chiliz, is the founder. Dreyfus possesses more than 20 years of expertise in launching and expanding internet-based businesses. His prior ventures include Webcity, an interactive travel guide, as well as the online poker platforms Winamax and Chilipoker, before he created Chiliz in 2017.

Manchester City stands as one of England’s most renowned soccer clubs, having secured four Premier League championships and achieved ten top 10 rankings over the past decade. The team is led by Pep Guardiola, recognized globally as one of the most distinguished football managers.

The Manchester City Fan Token (CITY) provides holders with voting rights and access to exclusive club-specific perks. These benefits include influencing the captain’s armband message, accessing the player area at the stadium, enjoying VIP match viewing, and receiving discounts on merchandise.

Fans can purchase CITY tokens while they are listed for trading on Socios.com, thereby gaining a share in the club’s governance. Stephan Cieplik, senior vice president of global partnerships sales at City Football Group, states that every fan is eligible to receive a free Manchester City token.

CITY can be bought using fiat currency or by swapping CHZ, meaning its price and growth are naturally linked to those of CHZ. Beyond voting in polls, winning prizes in Socios.com contests and quizzes, and earning cashback from the club, the platform plans to roll out additional features. These future additions aim to allow fans to buy branded VIP goods and services, earn bonus rewards for governance participation, stake fan tokens for NFT rewards, and utilize CITY within partner applications.

CITY has a total supply of 20 million, with 3.5 million currently in circulation. These tokens were introduced during the initial Fan Token Offering and are now available for purchase exclusively on exchanges.

Socios.com links soccer teams with their supporters, enabling clubs to generate clear and safe digital income while allowing fans to participate in club governance. The network operates on Chiliz, an Ethereum sidechain featuring a unique crowd control system that ensures a secure setting where voting occurs exclusively in publicly verified polls. The CHZ token, which exists as both an ERC-20 and BEP2 asset, has undergone auditing by Certik.

CITY began trading on Chiliz on March 19, 2021.

You can purchase CITY on Chiliz and Paribu. Additionally, you may acquire CITY and other Socios.com fan tokens by engaging with team-related activities, such as playing games or using platform apps to search for and earn tokens as interaction rewards.
