Sorare (company)

Sorare is a fantasy game of football, where players buy, sell, trade, and manage a virtual team with digital player cards. The game uses blockchain technology based on Ethereum and was developed in 2018 by Nicolas Julia and Adrien Montfort.

Players, as managers, compose virtual teams of five football players, from blockchain cards on the Sorare platform. Teams are ranked based, on the performance of their players on the real-world soccer pitch, and attributed points, just like traditional fantasy football.

Some of the cards are licensed digital collectibles (limited, rare, super-rare and unique cards). The use of blockchain technology means that the digital cards have provable scarcity.

As of 29 June 2021, 140 clubs are present in the game in total. This marks an increase of over 50 additional club sides compared with that in March. A total of 30 clubs from Major League Soccer clubs are without license. Sorare has instead signed a deal with the Major League's Players Association, meaning portraits of every player with the kits of those teams appear in the game except the image rights of MLS and its clubs.

The Belgian Jupiler Pro League has licensed Sorare.
