Inter Miami, one of the leading American soccer clubs, has teamed up with blockchain software platform Polkadot. The latter will serve as the team’s Global Training Partner, with its logo visible on all shirts worn by the players and coaching staff during pre-match training and warm-ups.

For its part, Polkadot will engage with Inter Miami’s fan base through “dynamic digital campaigns” and interactive fan zone activities. Chrissy Hill, who is Polkadot’s lead technical contributor, commented on the initiative:

“We are thrilled that the innovative Polkadot community continues its strong commitment to the future of entertainment with the sponsorship of Inter Miami. Knowing that this team of global soccer superstars will soon be carrying the brand we love and support their shirts is beyond exciting.”

Euan Warren, Inter Miami’s vice president of partnerships, described the partnership as “a natural fit” for the soccer team. “Our shared vision of innovation makes this a collaboration that will resonate with our fans around the world,” he added.

Despite being founded just six years ago, Inter Miami is arguably the most popular American soccer club, with David Beckham as co-owner and Argentine superstar Lionel Messi as captain. The record eight-time Ballon d’Or winner helped the team win their first trophy a year ago. Inter Miami then beat Nashville on penalties to lift the League Cup.

DOT Price Outlook

The price of DOT (Polkadot’s native token) has shown little to no movement after the aforementioned announcement. It is currently trading around $4.30, which represents a weekly drop of 10%.

Popular X user Crypto Tony recently said that they are waiting for possible signs of a reversal before jumping on the DOT bandwagon as an investor.

Prior to this, CryptoBullet argued that the token’s price has been in an “accumulation” zone for the past 840 days, waiting for a massive break from $30-$35 if it escaped to the upside.
