$INTER to launch worldwide on Friday. Fan Token holder San Siro takeover coming soon

MILAN - FC Internazionale Milano, in partnership with Chiliz $CHZ, the leading blockchain providers for the global sports and entertainment industry, have announced that they will launch the $INTER Fan Token on the Socios.com fan engagement app at 13:00 CEST on Friday September 10th.

$INTER Fan Tokens made headlines the world over in July when the club announced they would be promoting them from the front of the shirt for the 2021/22 season. And, on Friday, Nerazzurri fans from around the planet will be able to get their hands on them for the first time. A total of 1 million $INTER Fan Tokens will be available at a fixed price of €2 in the Fan Token Offering (FTO®). $INTER Fan Tokens will create new experiences for supporters, allowing them to become part of a vibrant digital community on Socios.com. 

There will be countless engagement opportunities for $INTER Fan Token holders, including the chance to influence the club in a range of important, interactive and fun, polls every season.  Fans will also be able to access exclusive club-related content, put their skills to the test and go up against other fans from around the world in club-related games, competitions and quizzes, competing in global leaderboards to earn once-in-a-lifetime real-life and digital VIP rewards and experiences. 

$INTER Fan Token holders will be able to vote in the very first poll to select an inspirational message to appear in the tunnel area straight away on Socios.com.

$INTER San Siro Takeover - September 18th: The first poll forms part of an extensive launch campaign, which will culminate in a ‘$INTER San Siro Takeover’ when the club goes head to head against Bologna on September 18th at 18:00 CEST. 

Events on the day will include the unveiling of the tunnel messaging and a Socios.com message to Inter fans to be revealed through a high-visibility choreographed display involving 10,000 flags on the grandstand.  The winning message will also be displayed on LED boards around the pitch. $INTER Fan Token holders from around the world will also appear on the screen in the mixed area before kick-off via webcam to welcome the players.

Alexandre Dreyfus, CEO of Chiliz and Socios.com, said: “Calling all Inter Milan fans around the world - your moment is nearly here! In just a couple of days, Nerazzurri from around the world will have the chance to influence and connect with the team they love like never before. If you want an $INTER Fan Token make sure you’re ready and waiting on Socios.com for 13:00 CEST this Friday. $INTER holders will have the chance to feel like a real part of their club, which will be exemplified  in style when they ‘take over’ the San Siro on September 18th.”

For the Nerazzurri Club, fans have always played a fundamental role and it is essential for us that the path of development and innovation that characterizes the new era of Inter allows all Nerazzurri to be more and more part of our world.
