FootballCoin

What FootballCoin does

FootballCoin, operated by Crowngem Limited (BVI Incorporation No. 468405) and founded in December 2017, is a free-to-play daily fantasy football platform built on its own multichain blockchain and powered by the XFC cryptocurrency. Users register at game.footballcoin.io or via dedicated iOS and Android apps, build squads of real-world professional footballers across 12+ top leagues (UEFA Champions League, UEFA Europa League, English Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, Primeira Liga, Ligue 1, Russian Premier League, Turkish Süper Lig, MLS, Chinese Super League, and Romanian Liga 1), and compete in contests for XFC prizes. The platform issues limited-edition 3*, 4*, and 5* player and stadium cards as blockchain-backed digital assets that can be traded on an in-game marketplace or leased to other managers, with a dual Easy/Pro scoring engine and an Assistant Manager system that gives cards long-tail utility even after a player retires.

The underlying stack is proprietary: FootballCoin runs its own multichain-based blockchain where all in-game purchases, sales, and trades are recorded as an immutable public ledger, and XFC is a Bitcoin-style capped-supply token listed on third-party cryptocurrency exchanges. Real match statistics are sourced from Omnisport and converted into fantasy points through FootballCoin's scoring engine. The website is localized into 8 languages (English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, Romanian, and Russian), and the company runs an active responsible-disclosure program independently triaged by Bit Sentinel.

Revenue is generated via a freemium model: public contests and 2* cards are free, while private contests charge XFC entry fees (with the organizer earning a cut scaled by stadium rank), 3*/4*/5* collectible cards must be purchased on the in-game marketplace, and XFC is tradable externally. The company is privately held, founder-financed ("born and funded out of passion for blockchains and football"), and discloses no institutional investors, funding rounds, revenue figures, or board composition.

Revenue model

1. Private Contest Entry Fees (XFC): While the majority of public contests are free to enter, users may create private contests and charge an entry fee in XFC. The contest organizer receives a cut of the prize pool, with the percentage scaled to the rank of the stadium card used (3*, 4*, or 5*) used to host the event.
2. Player and Stadium Card Marketplace Sales: Collectible (3*, 4*, 5*) player and stadium cards can be purchased from the in-game FootballCoin market, which functions as a secondary marketplace. The original primary issuance of these limited-supply cards, and any platform-level take from sales, generates platform revenue.
3. Freemium Platform Monetization: The base game (free contests, free 2* player cards, free 2* stadium cards, free registration) is offered at no cost. Revenue is generated by upselling users to premium collectible assets, private contests, and a competitive product (Pro scoring) targeting engaged and skilled managers.

Core offering

FootballCoin is a free-to-play fantasy football platform where users build squads of professional football players across 12+ top leagues and compete in daily contests for XFC cryptocurrency prizes. The platform issues blockchain-backed collectible player and stadium cards (ranked 3*, 4*, and 5*) that users own, trade, and lease through an in-game marketplace. All transactions are recorded on FootballCoin's own multichain-based blockchain with the XFC token serving as the in-game currency.

Product overview

FootballCoin is a single unified blockchain-based fantasy football platform rather than a suite of independent products. The FootballCoin fantasy football game is the core product, in which users build squads of Player Cards representing real professional footballers and earn XFC Coin prizes by scoring points in contests run across multiple top leagues (UEFA Champions League, UEFA Europa League, English Premier League, Spanish Primera División, Italian Serie A, Portuguese Primeira Liga, French Ligue 1, Russian Premier League, Turkish Süper Lig, US Major League Soccer, Chinese Super League, and Romanian Liga 1). Player Cards and Stadium Cards are the primary collectible assets, with Assistant Manager Cards providing an optional lineup-automation layer. All cards can be bought and sold on the FootballCoin Marketplace (the player market and stadium market), and balances are held in the FootballCoin (XFC) Wallet, with XFC Coin serving as the in-platform currency that ties the games, cards, and marketplace together.

Scale indicators7 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• FanDuel: One of the two dominant US DFS incumbents with deep league coverage and large user base. Broad incumbent in fantasy sports; comparable contest mechanics but operates purely in fiat, not crypto.
• DraftKings: Market-leading daily fantasy sports and sports betting operator in the US. Comparable daily fantasy contest product and prize economics, but no crypto/blockchain layer and a much larger user base and brand.
• MyFantasyLeague: Long-running season-long and daily fantasy football platform with deep commissioner-style customization. Comparable core fantasy football audience but no blockchain, NFT, or crypto prize component.

Direct peers

• RealFevr: NFT fantasy football platform that issues licensed digital player cards on the blockchain and runs skill-based contests with crypto prizes. Highly comparable product, technology, and target audience as FootballCoin.
• Socios.com: Fan-token platform that lets sports fans purchase tokenized assets tied to clubs and compete in gamified engagement experiences. Comparable crypto + sports-fan engagement mechanics, though focused on team tokens rather than fantasy contests.
• Sorare: Blockchain-based fantasy football game where users collect, trade, and compete with officially licensed digital player cards. Closest direct competitor to FootballCoin — same fantasy football + NFT + crypto prize model, with deeper league licensing and significantly more venture funding.

Emerging players

• MondoGoals: Early-stage blockchain-based fantasy sports platform with football and other sports. Emerging niche competitor with overlapping crypto-fantasy positioning but smaller scale and footprint than FootballCoin.

Others

• Omnisport: Sports statistics data provider integrated with FootballCoin to power the contest scoring engine. An enabling infrastructure partner rather than a competitor; comparable to the data vendors used by Sorare, DraftKings, etc.
• BitSentinel: Independent cybersecurity firm engaged by FootballCoin to triage bug bounty submissions under the OWASP methodology. Ecosystem partner / enabler for FootballCoin's security posture rather than a competitor.
