17/09/2021 Rugby League World Cup launches the sport’s first NFT marketplace

The Rugby League World Cup is launching its own NFT collection

 

 
  • New NFTs will celebrate the RLWC’s history and star players
  • England-based tournament set for November 2022 after recent postponement

The delayed Rugby League World Cup (RLWC) has launched the sport’s first ever non-fungible Token (NFT) marketplace through a new partnership with blockchain company NuArca.

The new RLWC NFT platform will offer fans access to digital collectibles celebrating the tournament’s history, most decorated players, countries and memorable moments.

Jonathan Neill, the tournament’s commercial director, said: “We believe the launch of our NFT partnership is a first for the sport of rugby league.

“RLWC 2021 NFTs will provide fans with an opportunity to show their passion and loyalty for the sport, and alongside collectors, give them the chance to own a piece of rugby league history.”

The 2021 tournament was originally scheduled for this autumn but has been postponed until November 2022 following Australia and New Zealand’s late withdrawal due to Covid-19 concerns. For the first time the RLWC men’s competition will be run in parity with the women’s and wheelchair tournaments, with all participants being paid the equal fees.

David vs the Virus
"An ode to the year everything changed" - Frank Wilder The story of the underdog is a reoccurring theme throughout history, and perhaps the most famous example is that of David vs Goliath. A tale about perseverance, in which David takes on and defeats the giant warrior using only his smarts and a stone. Famously depicted by Michelangelo's David statue. Fast forward to the present day in 2020 and we as humanity are faced with our own Goliath. An uncontrollable pandemic spread around the globe. Now with the entire planet being affected by this we understand the gravity of the situation at hand, whether it be a virus we’re fighting or other forces at play, there is indeed an energy out to shift the balance of the Universe… Regardless of our differences, in this moment must unite as one. With diligence, trust and belief we as a whole can come together to triumph against "the enemy". Stay vigilant my friends. Original score created by the one and only Phoenix Wilder.
