What is Sorare?
Sorare, founded by Nicolas Julia and Adrien Montfort in 2018, is a unique fantasy soccer game that uses NFT-backed digital player cards. Instead of selecting players from a list, Sorare Managers collect NFTs corresponding to the players they want on their team. These NFTs are completely owned by the Sorare Manager and can be bought, sold or traded on secondary markets like any other NFT collectible.
The game allows Sorare Managers to create a five-player team using their digital player cards and participate in weekly tournaments while competing for a chance to win rewards in the form of ETH, digital player cards, merchandise, and VIP experiences like meeting soccer stars. The platform’s tagline, “Own Your Game,” emphasizes the ownership aspect of the NFTs, which are based on the Ethereum blockchain.
How Can I Play Fantasy Soccer on Sorare?
Sorare’s onboarding process is simple and quick. It adapts to the needs of newcomers, enthusiasts, and fantasy veterans alike.
Click “Get Started” on their official website to begin your fantasy soccer web3 journey. You may sign up using an email address or connect through social media. Once you create an account, you’ll also gain access to educational resources and guides curated by Sorare. This makes it easy for beginners to understand the game’s mechanics, scoring system, and strategies.
To start playing, Sorare Managers need to simply sign up and choose a league to enter their lineup. Leagues vary, but include those specific to professional leagues (like Premier League-only) as well as regions (like European) and categories (like Under-23).,Upon signing up, Sorare Managers choose up to 10 “Common” digital player cards from select clubs for use in the first levels of the game. Sorare Managers can also collect digital player cards of varying rarity – Sorare classifies cards by “scarcity.” Digital player cards are auctioned on Sorare’s primary market, where top cards can sell for as much as 265 ETH. Once you collect your cards, you’re ready to enter your lineup into one of Sorare’s many exciting leagues!
The scarcity of the cards determines their scoring potential and value. There are five digital player card types: Common, Limited, Rare, Super Rare, and Unique. Common Cards are available for free and are ideal for beginners to learn Sorare’s gameplay; the other four cards are categorized as “Scarcity Cards” and unlock increasingly advanced competitions and rewards. Scarcity Cards can be bought, sold, or traded on the marketplace (as well as won via competitions)
Sorare also auctions Unique Cards – 1-of-1 NFT-backed cards of each player, each season – throughout the year (The most recent one being Manchester City star Erling Haaland).
