The Brazilian soccer team, São Paulo Futebol Clube (SPFC), has announced that it will accept payments in crypto for its ticket sales. With the help of its sponsor, Bitso, São Paulo, became the first Brazil Football Club to do so.
In January, Bitso, a Latin American cryptocurrency exchange, announced a three-year sponsorship deal with São Paulo.
Fans of the Brazilian league’s top football team can now apparently purchase tickets to all of their team’s games using bitcoin (BTC) and altcoins such as Shiba Inu.
For the time being, the promotion will be limited to registered fans with membership cards. It could be introduced to the remaining supporters soon. The new payment method is available for all Sao Paulo home matches–whether played at Estadio do Morumbi stadium or elsewhere.
