rewrite this title FIFA Launches Its Own Blockchain Network for NFT Collection

The International Federation of Association Football (FIFA) has officially announced the launch of a new blockchain network to support its NFT collections, as revealed on April 30.

FIFA will introduce an Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM)-compatible network called the FIFA Blockchain, aiming to deliver better performance, future-proof features, and enhanced scalability.

⚽ FIFA Collect Will Move from Algorand to FIFA Blockchain

As part of this move, FIFA Collect, the organization’s official NFT collection, will be migrated from the Algorand blockchain to the new FIFA Blockchain. According to the announcement, the migration process will not begin before May 20.

“At this stage, there is no urgent action required. Once the migration begins, we will provide clear, step-by-step instructions if any action is needed,” FIFA stated in the announcement.

FIFA emphasized that the exact migration date will be announced later, and NFT holders will be provided with detailed guidance.

🔄 What Will Change After the Migration?

Following the transition:

Algorand-based wallets such as Pera and Defly will no longer be supported.

Users will need to access FIFA Collect through MetaMask or other WalletConnect-compatible EVM wallets.

Additionally, all currently listed NFT collections will be automatically transferred to the new platform, unless users manually delist them before the migration date.

This strategic shift signifies FIFA’s commitment to building a dedicated, scalable, and future-ready ecosystem for its growing NFT and digital collectible initiatives.
