and Australia, Ivan Codina, commented: “This
partnership represents a significant step in terms of our strategy in Asia.
We’re looking to roll out a long-term plan that not only allows the LaLiga
brand to grow in this market but one that also promotes the development of the
national game and provides spaces where fans are able to get a sense of the
passion that surrounds the competition at close quarters.”

 

Meanwhile, the partnership sees GCOX team up with one of the leading
Spanish brands in a partnership that will enable the firm to bring Asian
followers closer to football and Spanish teams, whilst also creating new
business opportunities through football clinics, pre-season fixtures against
local clubs, digital activations, events with ambassadors and chances to gain
first-hand exclusive experience of the competition.

 

“We’re really pleased to be announcing this partnership with a
world-class competition like LaLiga,” commented Sir Dr. Jeffrey Lin, CEO of
GCOX. “This partnership will allow us to provide specific customer groups with
opportunities, as well as attracting new customers and football fans, who will
get to experience what LaLiga is all about.”

 

As a part of the partnership, GCOX, which has displayed a firm
commitment to technology in the fields of blockchain and innovation, LaLiga
token holders will have access to attend training sessions held in Spain, as
well as events hosted by LaLiga in the Asian country, VIP access to LaLiga
matches, meet and greet session with LaLiga ambassadors and exclusive ‘Money Can’t
Buy Experiences’.

 

“There is no better partner than GCOX in
terms of achieving our growth plans in Asia and the Middle East,” added Codina.
“The firm’s relationships and its experience, along with the launch of its
tokens featuring top-level athletes such as Manny
Pacquiao, Michael Owen and Caroline Wozniacki, provide assurance of strong
partnership and future collaboration projects.”
