Amidst ongoing legal disputes in the United States, football legend Cristiano Ronaldo recently participated in a training session with a select group of fans who own his Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs). Sponsored by cryptocurrency exchange Binance, the event underscores Ronaldo's dedication to engaging with his fan base through the realm of NFTs.

Fans who possessed Ronaldo's NFTs were given the unique opportunity to join the Portuguese forward for a football session. The training event also featured internet sensation Khaby Lame and Croatian footballer Maria Marković, with Ronaldo imparting valuable tips to help these enthusiasts enhance their football skills.

Ronaldo embarked on his NFT journey in 2022 when he forged a multi-year partnership with Binance, resulting in the launch of his inaugural NFT collection. The initiative aimed to provide token holders exclusive interactions with the football icon.

The renowned athlete highlighted the significance of NFTs in strengthening his connection with fans by offering them exclusive experiences. As part of his NFT promotional efforts, Ronaldo even consented to a lie detector test session during the second collection release in collaboration with Binance, confirming his ownership of NFTs.

However, Ronaldo's venture into NFTs has not been without criticism. In November 2023, a class-action lawsuit was filed against him in a Florida court, alleging that he promoted investments in unregistered securities on Binance. The lawsuit has faced challenges as plaintiffs attempt to serve the notice to Ronaldo, who resides at a private address in Saudi Arabia. Currently, they are seeking permission to deliver the notice through alternative channels such as email or social media platforms.
