#FIFA Partners With #Avalanche To Launch Dedicated #Layer-1Blockchain

Football's governing body is set to build its own L1 blockchain using #Avalanche's subnet technology.

The FIFA Blockchain leverages Avalanche's recent Avalanche9000 upgrade for customized blockchain development.

FIFA previously released #NFT collections on Algorand ahead of the 2022 Qatar World Cup.

The organization teased moving to an EVM-compatible blockchain while expanding Web3 initiatives.

Ava Labs' John Nahas cited Avalanche's ability to support global-scale applications with speed and security.

FIFA currently operates a World Cup NFT collection and digital collectibles marketplace.

The partnership signals continued enterprise blockchain adoption despite the crypto winter's impact.

FIFA has not disclosed additional use cases planned for its new dedicated blockchain infrastructure.
