Como 1907 anchored this experience with an NFT that entitles the auction winner to two lifetime tickets to the VIP section. The design of the NFT titled ‘tribuna d’onore a vita’ (or ‘VIP tickets for life’) was inspired by the Como football club and the city it calls home. In recognition of Como’s rich history of success as a city and a football club, a golden ticket emerges from the depths of the deep blue lake as a nod to the club’s ascension to the league championship in 2021 and the promise of a bright future. The team plans to deploy more NFTs in the future.

Como 1907 created this pioneering auction because of their belief that a sports team in any arena should be measured for both what they do on and off the field. Dennis Wise, Managing Director of Como 1907, said: “Sports franchises have a significant influence on our society and an enormous responsibility. Although we have seen many players in the sports industry dive into NFTs as the new way to profit, we hope to use this blockchain technology to make a difference for those who need it most,” continued Wise. “Our Como NFT may change hands over the years with EMERGENCY will benefit from each transaction.”
