A Mythical Games executive predicted that more than 100 million players would be attracted to playing FIFA Rivals.
Crypto Games CEO John Linden explained that there could be more than 100 million players in FIFA Rivals because the similar mobile game, NFL Rivals, has more than 6 million registrations from a much narrower audience.
Very proud to partner with @vivacom! We’re going to take gaming and eSports to a very global level with this game! We have over 6 million players and 150 million games played on NFL Rivals and now we’re moving to over 100 million players and tens of billions of games played! @FIFArivals

Blockchain and sports trend
FIFA’s partnership with Mythical Games is just one of a growing number of collaborations between cryptocurrency players and sports federations, providing more interactive and more enjoyable experiences among fans.
This partnership adds to the growing trend of sports associations collaborating with blockchain gaming studios that aim to deliver fun and interactive experiences to fans.
One advantage of cryptocurrency-based games is that players can “own and invest in-game assets.”
The cryptocurrency gaming studio had its early success with Blankos Block Party. The company explained that it is a non-fungible token that has been ported to Polkadot with at least 3 million monthly transactions.
The new mobile soccer game has become a reality with the help of the Mythos Foundation, which was launched in October 2022 and aims to support new players and developers in the mythical gaming ecosystem.
