Christiano Ronaldo revealed that the new NFT collection would feature notable events in his football career, from Madeira to a professional icon. He noted that each place in "Forever World: The Road to Saudi Arabia" meant a lot to him personally, and he could not wait for fans to see his career's big moments through the art collection and become part of his story.
Collectors' Rewards Revealed
Owing to the importance placed on the NFT collection by the football star, fans who purchase the NFTs will relish free access to several unique packages.
These privileges depend on the type of NFTs purchased. For instance, Normal NFT holders will enjoy the privilege of an exclusive interview with Cristiano Ronaldo and a signed, digitally printable art poster, while "Rare" and "Super Rare" NFT holders will receive a vintage football jersey and two football tickets, respectively in addition to the perks of Normal NFT holders.
However, fans who happen to get their hands on the "Super Super Rare" NFTs will relish the opportunity to have an in-person experience with the Portuguese football player, which includes a match ticket to grace one of Cristiano's team match, flights, accommodation, and an exclusive on-set personalized goal celebration in addition to the other perks of the Rare NFT holders.
Launching To Progress In Phases
Ronaldo's NFTs will launch in two phases during the upcoming football session, concluding with the "Super Super Rare" NFTs auction sales in June. Interestingly, all normal digital artworks are valued at around $35, except the Portugal NFTs.
The first and second drops will go live on 29 May and 6 June, respectively. The first drop will feature 6,800 normal NFTs, while the second release will include about 2700 normal NFTs.
