Fans Are Using $PSG Fan Tokens To Choose An Inspirational Captain’s Armband Message In The First Of Many Polls To Be Held On The Fan Voting & Rewards App
PARIS, 28th February 2020: The role of the captain is to be the fans representative on the pitch. It’s their job to lead the team and show the same passion and desire to win as supporters. Big names from Paris Saint-Germain’s history like Jean Djorkaeff, Dominique Bathenay, Bernard Lama, Rai, Pedro Pauletan and most recently Thiago Silva have done this brilliantly over the years, creating a special bond with fans.
It’s therefore fitting that the club are asking fans to choose an inspirational message to go inside the captain’s armband that will motivate Thiago Silva and future captains of the club in the first of many Paris Saint-Germain polls to be held on fan voting & rewards mobile app Socios.com.
The club has created a shortlist of 3 inspirational messages, with fans already using $PSG Fan Tokens to choose a new lucky charm for the team
- 50 years, 40 trophies, only 1 passion.
- Ici c’est Paris.
- Our history will become legendary.
Only those in possession of $PSG Fan Tokens are eligible to vote. Fans can purchase $PSG Fan Tokens exclusively in the Paris Saint-Germain Fan Token Offering (FTO™), which is now open on Socios.com. In addition to this, all MyParis subscribers and members will receive a $PSG Fan Token for free.
Hundreds of thousands of Chiliz $CHZ, the digital currency of Socios.com, and a limited number of $PSG Fan Tokens were also made available for free from mid-January onwards until today’s launch through Socios.com’s in-app Augmented Reality (AR) feature Token Hunt.
