NFT ticketing may catch on faster in France after UEFA championship debacle
The disorder before the UEFA Champions League final game may lead to the widespread adoption of nonfungible tokens (NFTs) for ticketing at sports events in in France. The country previously stated that it intends to use NFT tickets during the 2023 Rugby World Cup and 2024 Paris Olympics.
Mass ticket counterfeiting was one of the causes of the chaotic scene at the May 28 soccer championship. It turned into a major embarrassment for the country after police used tear gas to restore order and the match between Liverpool FC and Real Madrid was delayed. French Government Olympics envoy Michel Cadot submitted a report to the Office of the French Prime Minister last week that recommended steps to prevent disorder at sporting events in the future, including the universal use of NTF ticketing.
