The worlds of professional football and cryptocurrency have become increasingly enmeshed over the years. Critics say it is reckless that the game has got so tied up with the unregulated volatile sector.

Seventeen of England's 20 premier league clubs have at least one commercial deal with a company in the crypto sector, with six including Arsenal and Manchester City, already signed up with Socios.

Socios has agreement with clubs and leagues across Europe and South America, while several other cryptocurrency sector companies have struck major commercial deals in the likes of Turkey, Italy and Argentina.

It is a marriage made in heaven between the money hunger of football and the chances of the crypto world.
