Colombia takes on Uzbekistan today in their Group K opener at Estadio Banorte in Mexico City, marking the start of both teams’ 2026 World Cup campaigns.
Neither Colombia nor Uzbekistan has launched a dedicated national team fan token. Neither has blockchain partnerships or crypto sponsorships tied to this tournament. In a World Cup where Kraken is the Official Crypto Exchange Supporter and prediction markets are buzzing with match outcome bets, these two squads are playing the beautiful game entirely analog.
The fan token gap
Fan tokens exist for some national teams, but the coverage is wildly uneven. Portugal has $POR. Colombia has nothing at the national team level, though Millonarios FC, a Colombian club side, launched $MFC back in 2021.
Uzbekistan, making its World Cup debut, is even further from the crypto ecosystem. No fan tokens. No NFT collections. No blockchain partnerships of any kind.
