it looks like this first SOCCER project could be sold out so quickly. Even in just minutes. It is clear that investor interest is very strong on this soccer project

You confuse a lot of information. First of all, this is not the first Soccer ICO project (first ICO by a professional soccer club), the second crowdsales starts on October 3. So we have not concluded this concern.

AVAI will benefit with that ICO


2.Background of the Brazilian Football Leagues System – The Problem
The Brazilian Football Association (Confederação Brasileira de Futebol, “CBF”), founded in
1914, is the national governing body for football, recognized by FIFA. CBF is a private entity
under the Brazilian Civil Code. CBF’s institutional purposes, as stated in its social statute, is,
among others, to administrate, direct, control, foment, disseminate, improve and supervise
the practice of professional and non-professional football within the whole national territory.
This also includes the coordination of executing football competitions, in each of its forms, to
maintain the sportive order and to watch for the discipline within the practice of football.
Finally, to represent the Brazilian football abroad and to respect, abide by and enforce FIFA’s
and CONMEBOL’s regulations.

It is important to highlight some numbers regarding the Brazilian football to present an
overview. The last ofcial estimative by CBF, released in 2009, demonstrates a total of 783
professional football clubs. From which, 520 clubs are playing professional competitions.
The number of football players is also surprising to some, by the end of 2015, there were
28.203 professional and 22.782 amateur football players in Brazil (according to CBF).
The Brazilian football calendar is played from January to December, in opposite to the reality
in Europe. Due to its huge territorial area, Brazil has an interesting aspect, the dispute of
State Championships. The State Championships take place in each of the 26 States plus the
Federal District. Historically and for geographical and economic reasons, it has developed a
strong culture of disputing the State Championships, which reinforces the rivalry between
clubs from the same regions. These championships take place during the rst part of the
season, for a period of three to four months.

There are two national championships in Brazil, the Brazilian Cup and the Brazilian
Championship. The Brazilian Cup is played by 64 clubs, in 18 match days, from March to
November. It is played in a Cup format, which means play-offs (through draws), until the
Champion is decided in a two-leg nal.

The most important football competition is the Brazilian Championship though. In Brazil,
there are no leagues representing the clubs. The organization and execution of the
Championship is in charge of CBF. The rst division is played from May to November, on a
league-system, in 38 match-days, comprising 20 clubs. Four clubs are directly relegated
each year, being replaced by four promoted teams from the second division.

 The second
division follows the same system, whereas the third and fourth divisions are rst played in
regional groups, until the nal national phase – meaning the leagues are all interconnected.
The top teams of the Série A are capable of going higher than the national level however,
qualifying for global competitions such as the; Libertadores de América, Copa
Sudamericana, and eventually the FIFA World Club Championship.

1Avai is 1 USD.  Hahaha awesome, why not make it very simple. You did. But cool tho for a football club to sell out tokens and investors kick in. What does that mean about the ownership of the club?

[Cryptohaaans]

So it all goes trough sportyco sporty platform? That sounds very good also for the sportyco platform well actually both projects.

[CryptoWork007]

How will you raise funds in fiat or eth or btc? I guess maybe SPF tokens if you are going trough the sportyco platform?

i remember SportyCo ICO - project it was amazing - they already buidl a working platform they were first in sports and crypto

Working with SportyCo, the club will develop an online ecosystem for earning and spending the AVAI token. Marko Filej, SportyCo’s co-founder, said: “With this initial coin offering we are opening a new chapter in football and the sports industry in general…in the beginning token holders will be able to purchase merchandise, tickets and unique experiences with the token. In the future this will be upgraded.”

[SportyFi]

So it all goes trough sportyco sporty platform? That sounds very good also for the sportyco platform well actually both projects.

There will be an exclusive pre-sale for SPF holders only with a special bonus. For the normal ICO you will be able to participate with other tokens also - and with credit cards, via an external payment provider. You will have to pay a conversion fee, though (if it's not btc or eth)
