Is Web3 the Future of Fan Engagement in Sports – Jean-Charles Gaudechon, CEO of OneFootball Labs

SEEKERS

In this episode of The Product Show, we explore the intersection of sports and web3, questioning whether web3 can fix the broken aspects of football or if it's too broken itself to make a difference. We all know that fan engagement is essential in sports, and web3 and NFTs seem to be the perfect tools to harness the power of communities. However, the reality is not so straightforward.

To help us navigate this topic, we spoke with Jean-Charles Gaudechon, CEO of OneFootball Labs and former Electronic Arts Vice President. According to JC, we're only at the beginning of the sports revolution, and web3 is the future of sports and gaming.

Here are some of the highlights from the episode:

• JC's journey from game creator at EA to CEO of One Football Labs.
• Why JC believes that Web3 is the future of sports and gaming and that we're only at the beginning of the marathon.
• What it means to own a moment from a football game and whether you can truly own anything.
• Whether football fans are genuinely excited about web3 and what the industry is doing to increase adoption.
• The practical applications of NFT technology in sports that we can expect to see in the near future.
• When we might see the Aha moment of the NFT industry.
• The teams and footballers who are already doing exciting things in the web3 space.
• The main lessons JC learned from the highs and lows of the past year.
• JC's favourite football team that he can finally reveal after hiding it for 16 years.
