Arsenal Fan Token (AFC) is a utility token launched by Arsenal Football Club also known as the "Gunners" to its fans globally, allowing them to influence club decisions taken at headquarters in London and communicate with the club in ways that were not possible before.

Arsenal fans, also known as the "Gooners," have influenced many cool club-related decisions since the club's inception, including the game-winning song, the official bus design, the jersey design, selecting an inspirational message for the captain's armband and dressing room, and even selecting 11 players for an official friendly match.

How Does the Arsenal Fan Token (AFC) Work?

AFC Fan tokens share many similarities with other cryptocurrencies. The only official Arsenal Fan Token, $AFC, was established in partnership with Chiliz, the world's leading blockchain-based fan interaction platform for sports and entertainment.

It is hosted on Socios.com's app. It is also a blockchain-based fan engagement platform that allows users to swap $AFC tokens for $CHZ, their in-app (native) currency.

Every football season, the $AFC Fan Token will enable club supporters with access to interactive polls, as well as club-related information, quizzes, tournaments, and activities.

The $AFC Fan Token can be purchased and traded on major cryptocurrency exchanges like Coinbase and Binance.

You will receive specific voting rights on official club decisions, as well as the ability to gain real-life and digital club-related advantages and experiences. This is possible using the Socios.com app.

Peter Silverstone, commercial director at Arsenal said

“We are excited to launch this partnership with Socios that will bring our huge global fan base even closer to the club. Socios is leading the way in blockchain in the sports industry, as we have seen from their relationships with other leading European clubs. When we launch the $AFC Fan Tokens together we will give our hundreds of millions of fans worldwide more opportunities to interact with the club and be a part of our global family.’’

Their last goal was to collaborate for their ecosystem, and they have excellent partners on their side, like Chiliz, Bancor, Blockchain.com, and others.

The club also said:

“We are committed to finding new and innovative ways for all our supporters – whether local or international – to get closer to the club. In addition to fan focused initiatives such as our groundbreaking My Arsenal Rewards loyalty programme, and the Amazon All or Nothing documentary, the launch of the $AFC Fan Token is another example of our renewed efforts in this space. We’re excited to work with Socios to develop some amazing interactive opportunities for our fans to participate and interact with the Club they love.‘’
