D.C. United have announced that they will enter into a three-year agreement with XDC Network, a blockchain technology provider. The collaboration was made possible by Allied Sports, which played a vital role in brokering the agreement between the two parties.

This is the first time that the American major sports club will partner with a blockchain network, and will provide fans of D.C. United with privileged access and experiences. The partnership is set to begin this year, and will see XDC Network debut on the front of both home and away jerseys, as well as on training tops.

Fans will be able to purchase the new black-and-red kit with the XDC Network logo embellished across the front of the shirt online and at the D.C. United Club Shop, located at Audi Field.

The collaboration will offer a unique, unparalleled fan experience for the professional sports club, exposing the D.C. United community to a one-of-a-kind Fan Token program which will award fans’ loyalty with exclusive events and access.

XDC Network will also release a video platform which will allow users to discover all of the benefits of blockchain and NFT technology. More details relating to this launch and how fans can join the platform will be released soon.

Players and D.C. United fans will not be the only ones who will be able to enjoy the low gas costs and fast transaction speeds of the network, as the XDC Network also provides developers and content creators easy access to interact with the ecosystem and tokenize a variety of assets through blockchain-powered smart contracts.
