Sports Metaverse

The Sports Metaverse is a digital world devoted entirely to sports. For the first time in history, the biggest sports stars, brands and clubs are together in one place. Built by SportsIcon and industry veterans from Sony, Doom, Playstation Home and Nvidia, Sports Metaverse allows you to trade NFTs, buy and develop land, interact with iconic sportspeople in 3D and visit stadiums in the metaverse.

The flagship land sale takes place NOW!

If you haven’t already, make sure to visit our dedicated website for the Sports Metaverse at: www.sportsmetaverse.co — the public land sale is now in full swing!

Each landowner will receive a high-quality fan cave and access to a mini-game with UFC icon Amanda Nunes. Fan cave owners can hang out with friends from across the world, customise with their own NFTs and play pool. Owners will also be able to rent out their land, advertise and stream sports in their cave.

Long-term market growth

Investment into real estate in the metaverse has grown exponentially, with brands like Adidas and top influencers looking to establish themselves in the virtual world. In the metaverse, where possibilities are endless, investors see the potential to rent a virtual space for parties with sports stars, private lodges to view sporting events in VR stadiums, or offer key brands a space for sponsorship appearances. As a result, early investors are already making tenfold, million dollar profits. The returns are expected to continue to grow as Grayscale Research predicts annual revenues for the metaverse at $1 trillion, with $400 Billion for gaming worlds alone.

Backing

In terms of backing, SportsIcon itself is backed, among many others, by some prominent industry names such as Nas, Dapper Labs, Dapper Labs CEO Roham Gharegozlou, Youtube Founder Chad Hurley, Hedera and Reserve Founder Andrew Masanto alongside ex-NBA star Andrew Bogut and many more.

Interest is growing

Sports stars and brands have already announced they have bought land in the Sports Metaverse, including UFC icon Amanda Nunes, footballers Shaun Wright Philips and Jordan Stewart and web3 brands including Own The Moment, Press Sport, Thrive Fantasy

PhatFish Phantasy, Frontrunner, Fan Controlled Football, Knights of Degen, LeagueDAO

Content Studios, Fan Club Sports and Beyond The Game Network

Sounds great — but what can you ‘do’ with it?

The possibilities are endless. From virtual stadiums and gyms, mini-games, official sports team representation and live-streamed matches — we’re building it all. Initially, each landowner will receive a high-quality fan cave and access to a mini-game with UFC icon Amanda Nunes.

Amanda Nunes is building her gym and a mini-game in the metaverse. No other metaverse has come close to the innovation here. Amanda spent the day in Washington with the Sports Metaverse crew and was volumetrically captured. Volumetric capture works by using a whole bunch of cameras from a whole bunch of different angles filming simultaneously. Then, computer algorithms stitch the views from these angles together to create volumetric images. The result — a real-to-life working hologram of Amanda Nunes in the Sports Metaverse — groundbreaking stuff!

Besides Amanda Nunes and Romelu Lukaku, a series of sports stars and brands are lined up for The Sports Metaverse, with agreements underway with leading athletes from soccer, tennis, MMA, basketball, and baseball.

And last but not least, a word from the man himself, our CEO and Co-Founder, Chris Worsey:

‘We’re excited about the initial land sale. We’ve assembled the best metaverse builders in the space, the most forward-thinking web3 brands and some of the biggest sports people of all time. The Sports Metaverse is the new frontier — the future of sports is billions of fans connected instantly in the metaverse, connecting with their sports icons and brands in totally new ways. The Sports Metaverse land sale is the first page of the first chapter of that journey.’

Don’t forget — there’s videos, demos, a lot more information about this and of course the land sale itself going on right NOW — just head on over to https://sportsmetaverse.co/
