The rules of soccer do not change, but everything happening around the game does.

FIFA is implementing new technologies and experiments to improve the flow of football games.
Video assistant referee is an idea suggested by FIFA. It would enable referees to check a video replay and make the right decision whenever there is a problematic situation. It would help them to act upon these questions:

  • goals

  • penalty

  • direct red cards

  • mistaken identity

In his piece, published in engadget.com, Edgar Alvarez explains in details why a lot of purist fans are reluctant to the idea of introducing technologies into the world of soccer. According to thim, they fear that they won’t love football as much as they do now, for it may change for the worse.

This fear of change is to be tackled seriously for it could prevent positive impacts technologies bring.

These new technologies do not aim to change the rules or they way we experience football. They do not add an intermediary layer. On the contrary: they allow a more fluid and natural experience and may suppress a large part of today’s frustration caused by refereeing mistakes.
Back to traditional soccer thanks to the blockchain technology
As paradoxical as it may sound, the blockchain technology would help football to get back to its traditional roots.

To understand this, let’s go back to why Niv Tal created United Fans.

Niv Tal is a former professional football player.

When his favorite Israeli team went down to a lower division and got to the verge of bankruptcy, soccer fans decided to establish a non-profit team-management organization. And they asked Niv Tal to help them.

Niv Tal accepted the offer but decided to take this further. He understood that the blockchain technology could help many clubs to avoid bankrupcy and get more influence.

This is why he created United Fans: to empower crowds and soccer fans worldwide who want to save football by playing a bigger part in the industry.

This is what the blockchain technology will enable United Fans to accomplish: by putting GOAL tokens on the table, soccer fans can empower their club — overcoming financial obstacles second-division teams currently face.
By suppressing the intermediaries which exist between supporters and sport players, UnitedFans aims to turn soccer into a more ethical activity.
