Quidd will create and launch “special edition” digital collectibles including cards that will unlock real-world experiences.

The inaugural product for the partnership will be a series of 200 bespoke digital player cards which will launch or purchase on May 2. The first 10,000 “Cityzens” (the colloquial term for Man City fans) to purchase packs will receive two exclusive “For the Fans” packs. 
Cityzens who unlock digital rewards through the Quidd packs will also have the opportunity to participate in real world events and purchase opportunities including official Manchester City merchandise and hospitality tickets as well as winning “money-can’t-buy experiences, including an exclusive opportunity to watch a first team training session at the City Football Academy.”

As Cointelegraph recently reported, Man City has been active in the NFT space as of late with the <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/man-city-okx-limited-edition-jerseys-nfts">launch of its “Unseen City Shirts” NFT collection on the OKX blockchain</a> on April 22. A limited number of Unseen City Shirts NFTs are tied to physical, limited-edition jerseys featuring hand painted artwork. 
The club also partnered with Sony in 2022 to build <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/manchester-city-to-build-etihad-stadium-in-the-metaverse">a virtual version of Etihad Stadium</a>, Man City’s iconic home field, reportedly the first officially-licensed football stadium to be built in the metaverse. 
Meanwhile, other clubs are turning to cryptocurrency for their long-term futures. The Winklevoss twins recently bought into <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/cameron-tyler-winklevoss-bitcoin-peter-mccormack-real-bedford-fc">Bitcoin podcaster Peter McCormack’s Real Bedford Football Club</a>, investing $4.5 million towards the club’s Bitcoin treasury. Evidently they’re bullish on both BTC and the club’s chances to one day make it to the Premier League.
