OOOOO Entertainment Commerce Limited (“OOOOO”) (OOOO: TSXV), a
mobile commerce platform, is pleased to announce that John Motson
will launch an NFT collection on Fanz.com in March 2022 to
celebrate his favourite 50 football games across a career spanning
50 years.
John Motson, also known as Motty, began as a
television commentator with the BBC in 1971, and commentated on
over 2,000 games on television and radio. From the late 1970s to
2008, Motson was the dominant football commentary figure at the
BBC, having commentated on 10 FIFA World Cups, 10 UEFA European
Championships and 29 FA Cup finals. Motson is also an
ex-commentator for the FIFA video games series by EA Sports.
The "Motty Collection" on Fanz will consist of
10,000 unique animated NFTs that celebrate his 50 greatest games
across the decades, including famous games of Manchester United,
Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester City. Each NFT consists
of Motty's audio summary of a game, with 3D animated graphics, each
unique.
OOOOO & Fanz founder Sam Jones said: "John
is an icon in the game. Anyone who watched English football over
the decades, or played FIFA, will associate great moments in time
with John and his voice. It is an honour for us to be able to
collaborate with him on this project and celebrate his 50 favourite
games. John is the perfect neutral, and I think there is something
for everyone in this collection, to own a moment in time on the
blockchain."
Fanz targets the global community of football
fans through live video commerce, NFTs, and mobile gaming. It is
estimated that there are 3.5 billion soccer fans, making it the
most popular sport in the world. Fanz.com will officially launch in
March 2022.
Fanz.com will offer teams and athletes an
interactive video commerce solution provided by OOOOO, to provide
intimate experiences that connect to fans through shoppable videos.
OOOOO is already a leader in mobile, video commerce and serves
leading retailers including QVC and JD Sports. The same technology
will be used for Fanz.com to enable sport teams and athletes to
connect to Fanz.com to sell memorabilia and merchandise.
Fanz.com will also offer a service for athletes,
legends and teams to create and launch non-fungible tokens and
smart contracts that can be sold on the Fanz.com platform. Fanz.com
will whitelist fans for the primary issuance of NFTs to help ensure

It is expecting to launch the first game in the first half of this
year.
