Overview
- Gespa said it is gathering facts and has not received complaints or alleged wrongdoing as it evaluates the FIFA Collect offering.
- FIFA’s Right‑to‑Buy collectibles provide a window to purchase specific match tickets but are not tickets themselves, and they can be resold on a secondary marketplace.
- Recent listings show options priced from about $149 for lower‑demand matches to roughly $7,000 for high‑demand rights such as the Azteca opener, with certain team‑ or stage‑linked drops selling out.
- FIFA has migrated Collect to a bespoke Avalanche‑based layer‑1 built with Modex, with payments in fiat or USDC and no separate FIFA cryptocurrency.
- FIFA maintains the tokens manage demand rather than function as gambling products, while Gespa’s potential enforcement tools include ISP blocking and referrals to prosecutors, a decision observers say could set a wider precedent.
