BBC Sport published its power ranking of the 16 teams remaining in the 2026 FIFA World Cup on June 18, slotting France at number one, England at two, and Argentina at three. Norway landed sixth. The ranking immediately sparked debate: do the defending champions actually deserve that bronze position, and should Norway, riding a wave of momentum, be sitting higher?

Fan tokens are tracking the tournament in real time

Argentina’s official fan token, $ARG, which runs on the Chiliz blockchain, has been moving in lockstep with the national team’s on-field performance throughout the tournament. Recent prices have hovered between $0.23 and $0.24, with 24-hour trading volumes reaching up to $1.5 million during high-intensity matches.

The token has a circulating supply of roughly 18.7 million out of a maximum 20 million. That tight supply means even modest surges in demand can push noticeable price action. Trading activity for $ARG has spiked visibly around key Messi moments during the group stage.

Fan tokens are issued by official sporting organizations through platforms like Socios (powered by Chiliz), and they grant holders voting rights on minor club or team decisions. Norway doesn’t currently have a prominent national fan token listed on major platforms.
