[Vladdirescu87]

An Israel-based company focusing on technological innovation in the world of sports, officially declared the roll out of the first sports blockchain accelerator. The project will include an acceleration program that will take 14 weeks, and more than 10 startups from different parts of the world, will participate. This program is scheduled for July - September.

So far, the accelerator has become the 12th major project being launched by the company which is called HYPE. It is also working hand in hand with experts from different sectors such as sports, academic, and others – examples include; Shakhtar Donetsk, George Washington University, University of Queensland and Loughborough, and Cologne.

If I remember correctly, this is actually an ICO project called Chiliz. They claimed to have made/build a partnership with Juventus and PSG to release their fan token on the platform (saying that with those tokens fans can influence the team decided on marketing, and so on).

Binance was rumored to be one of the giant behind this project IIRC.

Not sure what is this silly article quoting Juventus. But Chiliz - which i'm the CEO :-) - has NOT claimed, but officially announced Juventus (https://www.juventus.com/en/news/news/2018/juventus-announce-partnership-with-blockchain-platform-socios-com-to-launch-fan-token.php) and PSG (https://en.psg.fr/teams/the-club/content/paris-saint-germain-kicks-off-innovative-blockchain-partnership-with-socioscom) and Binance is NOT rumored, but officially an investor (https://medium.com/chiliz/binance-chiliz-join-forces-to-tokenize-sports-industries-55ec438439c0).

Thanks.
