Lamine Yamal, the 18-year-old Barcelona winger who already has over 25 caps for Spain, says his national team will put on a show at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The tournament kicks off across Canada, Mexico, and the United States, and Yamal is expected to make his World Cup debut.
The $YAMAL token situation
Several low-cap, Solana-based tokens trading under the $YAMAL ticker have popped up on decentralized exchanges. Their market caps range from $2K to $8K, with negligible liquidity and trading volume that barely registers.
The real crypto infrastructure around the World Cup
FIFA migrated its digital collectibles platform, FIFA Collect, to an Avalanche-based blockchain in 2025. The move was designed to support NFTs and fan engagement experiences tied to the World Cup.
