Cristiano Ronaldo and Binance unveiled their latest NFT collaboration today, introducing the ‘Forever Worldwide: The Road to Saudi Arabia’ NFT collection. The new NFTs symbolize Cristiano Ronaldo’s transformation from humble beginnings in Madeira to a global football icon, offering fans innovative experiences and incredible rewards.
The ‘Forever Worldwide: The Road to Saudi Arabia’ NFT collection provides fans with new insights into iconic places that played a significant role in Ronaldo’s career journey: Madeira, Lisbon, Manchester, Madrid, Turin, Saudi Arabia, and Portugal. To create the collection, carefully selected artists with personal connections to the iconic places in Cristiano’s career contributed unique designs for each NFT.
Cristiano Ronaldo expressed his excitement about the new NFT collection, saying, “I’m thrilled to collaborate with Binance to offer fans pieces of my journey through this new NFT collection. Each location within ‘Forever Worldwide: The Road to Saudi Arabia’ holds special significance for me, and I look forward to fans experiencing the highlights of my career through this unique art collection. Working with artists who truly reflect each place makes this experience even more emotional, immortalizing these moments of my journey in the form of NFTs.”
Sarah Dale, Chief Brand Officer at Binance, commented, “Cristiano Ronaldo‘s incredible journey from humble beginnings to football legend has not only impressed fans worldwide but also involved all of us in that incredible journey. To encompass this journey, we have worked to create the most remarkable NFT collection with the best rewards ever offered for sports fans, collaborating with incredible talents who have personal connections to the iconic places in Cristiano’s life. Together, we are committed to reshaping athlete-fan interactions, and this collection is shaping the future of NFT benefits and fan connections.”
The new NFT collection will be offered to users in two parts during the upcoming football season, culminating in an auction of a limited number of Super Rare (SSR) NFTs in June.
The first part will begin on May 29 and will cover iconic locations in Madeira, Lisbon, and Manchester. Artworks designed by artists Katt Phatt (representing Madeira) and Rodrigo Doin (Lisbon) depict the places where Cristiano Ronaldo’s journey began, offering fans the chance to acquire this critical piece of football history. The first part will also include NFT artworks by Manchester artist John Sheehan, honoring Cristiano Ronaldo’s rapid rise in Manchester.
The second part will commence on June 6 and will feature incredible artworks representing Madrid, Turin, and Saudi Arabia. Designs by Spanish artist Lisett Ledón reflect Ronaldo’s unparalleled success in Madrid and his passion for the Spanish League, while Italian artist Pasquale Garibaldi will celebrate Ronaldo’s time in Turin and his legend in Serie A and Italian football. Finally, Saudi artist Shaker Kashgari is designing an NFT to symbolize Cristiano Ronaldo’s latest chapter in Saudi Arabia.
In June, a highly exclusive limited collection of 7 Super Rare NFTs will be available for sale. Designed by artist Mr. Dheo, this limited NFT collection pays tribute to Cristiano Ronaldo’s unwavering commitment to his homeland, Portugal, and will be available for purchase through an online auction from June 14 to 18.
Superfans who collect all the NFTs in the collection will also have the chance to participate in a quiz starting from June 11 and win one of the exclusive SSR NFTs.
Priced at $35 (USD) for all locations, the collection offers a ‘Collect to Earn’ mechanism for accessing NFT benefits. Collectors can start earning rewards from their first purchase of the Forever Worldwide NFT. These rewards include vintage jerseys, football tickets, signed printable posters, and the chance to submit questions for a special video where Cristiano will respond to NFT holders.
Considering the significance of Portugal to Cristiano Ronaldo, SSR Portugal NFT holders will have the opportunity to experience a special trip to Riyadh, including a football match ticket and a personal goal celebration moment with Cristiano. Collectors can participate in the auction opening on June 14 for a chance to access this unique opportunity. Additionally, users who collect all six NFT locations and win the SSR Portugal NFT in the quiz will also be part of this experience.
