The Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) has made quite the revolutionary announcement today. No, Lionel Messi has not quit football or anything like that, rather the announcement revealed the new UEFA ticketing system.

And the new UEFA ticketing system uses blockchain technology. Get in!

The UEFA Ticketing System on Blockchain

UEFA successfully deployed its new blockchain ticketing system via mobile phones and it is based on blockchain technology.

Well, the blockchain ticketing system was actually tested back in May and was used to sell 50% of the tickets for the 2018 UEFA Europa League final in Lyon. After its “successful implementation”, UEFA has decided to increase the technology’s reach “to all of the general public” in Estonia.

Today’s official UEFA announcement stated that:

“100% of the match tickets for the UEFA Super Cup soccer match between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid held in Tallinn, Estonia on August 15 were sold using a blockchain-based iOS or Android application.”
