[ANN][ICO] AVAI Token - first ICO by a professional football (soccer) club

[sarmashalom]

Financials of Avaí
Financial results of Avaí are available in the Annual Reports at http://www.avai.com.br /novo/patrimonio/balanco-patrimonial/. The results for the last few years (in BRL – Brazilian Real and in USD (as per the exchange rate of 10 September 2018) may be summarized as follows:

Apart from 2015, which presented a fairly atypical result, it is established that, when Avaí plays in the Série A, the nancial result is far more favourable. The budget gap between playing Série A and Série B explains part of this phenomenon. When playing in the Série A, a clubs budget more than doubles in relation to Série B. 

This shows the importance for Avaí to become a stable member of Série A, and not be constantly moving between the two leagues. But playing in Série A does not by itself solve the nancial decit issues. It is necessary for Avaí to achieve a considerable increase of its incomes.

Additionally the division of TV Rights in Brazil is very unfair and unfavourable to clubs who are not ranked at the top. During the years Avaí played in Série A, on average, the club was entitled to 10% of the budget, when compared to the best paid clubs in Série A. TV rights represents a share of 50% to 65% of the annual budget for Avaí.
 
CBF and TV Globo, the holder of TV rights in Brazilian Football, have managed to create more clear rules on the division of the rights, to be implemented from 2019 onwards. If Avaí is able to increase its presence in Série A, especially pushing for a top 10, it will be very positive for the club sportively and, as a consequence, nancially.

transparency is important

with blockchain will that be 100%

Brasil’s Avaí becomes first football club to launch its own cryptocurrency

bravissimo

Partnered with blockchain technology specialists SportyCo and football investment specialist Blackbridge Sports, the Avaí FC Token will go on sale October 3 priced $1 with the sale period lasting for a month.

“Our goal is to raise $20.46 million US dollars, with a minimum cap of 8 million dollars. A maximum of 20.46 million tokens (93%) valued at $1 will be available for purchase in the Crowdsale. A maximum of 1,540,000 AVAI Tokens (7%) will be retained by Avai FC,” said the club.

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.”

The token will be listed on several cryptocurrency exchanges for those who buy the token for trading. However, should the trading value of the AVAI token drop the club said it “will always provide a valuable experience or service for token holders wishing to participate.”

For Avaí the attraction of the crypocurrency is to raise new money that will support the club’s promotion push to Brazil’s top tier Série A, provide financial stability and contribute to the goal of qualification for the Copa Libertadores.

Francisco José Battistotti, President of Avaí Futebol Clube, said: “With our ICO, we are actively targeting a global football fan base, while engaging all Avaí FC in Florianópolis and Brazil, working together towards our goal – to become a stable member of Brazil’s Série A and qualify for the Copa Libertadores. We are delighted to do so in partnership with SportyCo and be the first sports company to do an initial coin offering, paving the way for other clubs all over the world to approach financing their sporting activities in this novel way.”

It can be said that this is a very good project, when many ICO projects are not clear about their products but Avai already has a clear product, the team's performance certainly determines whether Avai can succeed in the ICO or not.

AVAI FC Soccer Team Launches ICO To Raise $20 Millions In Brazil

Brazilian professional soccer club, Avai FC have teamed up with Blackbridge Sports and SportyCo to launch an ICO in other to raise funds for the team.

Sports And Cryptocurrencies
Soccer in Brazil is more than a sport; it’s a way of life or culture. So, the decision of the foremost Brazilian football outfit, Avai Football Club to launch an initial coin offering is considered by many as a welcome development, as it will strengthen the ties among the supporters, the club and the crypto community.

The elite soccer club revealed that the main reason for the launch of the proposed initial coin offering is to raise funds for the soccer club and to keep it economically healthy so that it can compete favorably with the other teams in the Brazilian league and continental competitions if need be.

The decision to partner with SportCo, a sport-focused community and Blackbridge, a firm that prides itself as an expert in raising funds is regarded as a step in the right direction, as both firms will help raise funds during the ICO in other to achieve its set goals.

SportyCo revealed the news on its verified Twitter account, stating:

“We have a major announcement today! The first ICO by a SOccer club!”

The new partnership, which is expected to raise $20 million through the ICO, is already breaming excitement among the partners. Marko Filej, the Co-founder of SportyCo said in a recent statement that:

“We look forward to working with Avaí FC and see how they intend to launch their new digital currency with the SportyCo platform that has always been leading innovation in the world of sports finance and sportsmanship. With this initial money offer, we are opening a new chapter in soccer and the sports industry in general.”

This latest development is coming at a time when a global cryptocurrency adoption is on the increase. Politicians in the United States will be accepting cryptocurrency as part of their campaign fund, especially Bitcoin.

The president of the soccer club, Francisco Jose Battistotti also stressed that the aspiration of the club on both the domestic and the international competition, led the club to make such a decision:

“With our ICO, we are actively seeking to reach a global Soccer fan base, and we are attentive to everything that surrounds Avaí’s environment in Florianopolis and Brazil,” the President stated.

SPF price fixed for the AVAI Token presale – almost 10% of the SPF Total Supply may be burned
Only a couple of days left! The AVAI Token presale will be set up as a campaign on SportyCo.net, and will run from September 29, 2018, 12:00 UTC till October 2, 2018, 12:00 UTC. Get ready! And don’t forget to finish your KYC, while you’re at it.

In the presale a total of up to 400,000 AVAI Tokens will be available, at the valuation of $1 US dollar per AVAI Token. As stated in our previous post, we have looked at the price at Etherscan.io at 12:00 UTC on September 26, 2018 and the price was almost $0.029. We’ve decided to give all participants in the presale at least a 100% bonus on the price. We’ll go a bit above that, even.

The price for 1 SPF token in the AVAI Token presale was fixed at $0.03! As promised we are multiplying this price by the factor of 2 and thus getting $0.06. As the price of 1 AVAI Token is predetermined at $1, this gives us the exchange rate of 16 SPF Tokens for 1 AVAI Token.

This makes the max cap of the AVAI Token presale campaign at 6,400,000 SPF Tokens. There’s no soft cap. Participants will receive their AVAI Tokens no later than at the end of the AVAI Token Crowdsale. If the AVAI Token Crowdsale does not reach the soft cap of at least 8,000,000 AVAI Tokens being sold, participants in the presale will receive their SPF Tokens back to their wallets and the AVAI Tokens will not be distributed.

All SPF tokens collected in the AVAI Token presale will be burned after the successful completion of the AVAI Token Crowdsale. This means that up to 6,400,000 of SPF Tokens may be burned in this single transaction.
