Binance NFT Marketplace launches an exclusive collection of Urbanball NFTs in partnership with Ex Sports. It’s an exciting time for the unsung talents of the world of football as Urbanball will be the world’s first mobile street football game built on the BNB network. Urbanball NFTs consist of character cards and skill cards that are required to play:
- The character cards featured in the collection are based on real characters who have earned their place in the game by winning and impressing in 1v1 football tournaments in their respective countries.
- These tournaments are hosted by two-time world football freestyle champion Sean Garnier, whose character will also be included in the list of the best.
- Skill cards contain various football moves that can be used to improve the performance of the characters in the game.
Several different modes will be available in the game, where users will be able to compete with their characters in PVP and PVE battles, and the winners will receive special rewards.

As mentioned above, the new concept is spearheaded by two-time football freestyle world champion and Internet sensation Sean Garnier, who has 19 million social media followers and 2 billion video views. It has teamed up with the EX Sports platform, which aims to draw the attention of fans to up-and-coming, yet unknown football players, as well as provide them with more opportunities, including a potential source of income. And all this thanks to innovative NFTs that can be used in future games.
Several NFT releases are planned throughout the year ahead of IGO, which is scheduled for the end of the year. Each drop will contain new characters based on the high scores and winners of real 1v1 soccer tournaments such as Adonias Fonseca, Mehdi Amri and Radheya Marka. They have already won the love of millions of fans around the world. Tournaments like these, in turn, give unnoticed talent a chance to take part in the game around the world.
It is known that the first NFT Mystery Box will consist of a character card or a skill card from the United Kingdom Pack and will be sold exclusively on the Binance NFT market on Tuesday May 3, 2022.
Earlier last year, EX Sports and Sean Garnier launched the world’s first football NFTs at Gitex 2021 at the Dubai World Trade Center, the biggest and most exciting tech show of the year. The same venue hosted the Binance Blockchain Week this year.
In addition, EX Sports co-hosted a tournament with Redbull and Dubai Tourism that brought together some of the best street football talent. They will also become members of the upcoming collection, and will earn royalties from each sale of NFTs.
The collaboration between EX Sports and Binance is only possible because both companies have the same vision to find and nurture new talent in the sports world. EX Sports brings sports IP together and aims to create an ecosystem with real value for underdog athletes.
