The Manchester City Fan Token ($CITY) enables fans of CITY to possess a tokenized share of influence on club decisions. These tokens can be purchased through the consumer-facing platform, Socios.com. Fans can participate in a diverse range of club decisions, such as selecting a goal celebration song or determining the design of the team bus. Additionally, they can earn rewards and gain access to exclusive experiences that money can't buy. These experiences include opportunities to meet and greet favorite players, receive VIP treatment at the stadium, and much more.

Manchester City Fan Token is a fan token by Socios.com — an app built on the Chiliz (CHZ) blockchain. Socios has created fan tokens for several other football clubs, the most popular of them being (PSG), as well as fan tokens for UFC and car racing. Fan tokens give holders a stake in the clubs governance by allowing them to influence decisions, unlock VIP rewards, and access to exclusive promotions, games, and special recognition.

Following the massive success of PSGs launch in January 2020, Manchester City Football Club decided to launch CITY in March 2021. Its success will mainly depend on the clubs success on the pitch and the development of blockchain technology. The token price spiked when Cristiano Ronaldo was rumored to join the club, but decreased after the transfer failed to go through.

Manchester City Fan Token was founded by Socios.com, an app powered by Chiliz that allows sports fans to engage with their favorite clubs and associations. It was founded by Alexandre Dreyfus, who is also the CEO of Chiliz. Dreyfus has over 20 years of experience founding and growing web-based companies. For instance, he developed Webcity, an interactive travel guide, and Winamax and Chilipoker, both online poker projects, before founding Chiliz in 2017.

Manchester City is one of Englands most famous football clubs with four Premier League titles and ten top 10 finishes in the last ten years. The club is managed by Pep Guardiola, one of the most illustrious football managers in the world.

Manchester City Fan Token represents ownership of a voting right and gives fans access to earn unique club-specific rewards and experiences. For instance, fans can influence what message the captain should wear on his armband, visit the player area in the stadium, or receive rights to watch a match in the VIP zone and get discounts on club merchandise.

As long as CITY is listed on Socios.com for trading, fans can acquire the token and with it a stake in the clubs governance. Moreover, according to Stephan Cieplik, senior vice president of global partnerships sales, City Football Group, every club fan is eligible to receive a free Manchester City token.

CITY can be acquired with fiat or by swapping CHZ for it, so naturally, the price and growth of CHZ influences the price and growth of CITY. Besides participation in the decision-making process through voting in polls by holding CITY, the option to win prizes in contests and quizzes on Socios.com, and cashback rewards from the club, the platform plans to introduce more features to fans in the future. For example, fans will be able to purchase VIP goods and services with the clubs branding, earn bonus rewards for participation in the clubs governance, stake the fan tokens for NFT rewards, and benefit from the integration of CITY in partner applications.

The total supply of CITY is 20 million. 3.5 million are currently in circulation. The tokens were launched at the initial Fan Token Offering and can currently only be bought on exchanges.

Socios.com connects football clubs and their fans and provides clubs with transparent and secure digital revenue streams while offering fans to have a stake in their clubs governance.

Chiliz is an Ethereum sidechain with a proprietary crowd control mechanism, so fans are in a protected environment and vote only in publicly audited polls. CHZ is an ERC-20 and BEP2 token that has been audited by Certik.

CITY launched on March 19, 2021, on Chiliz.
