Arsenal’s pre-season friendly against Real Betis at Dublin’s Aviva Stadium on August 5 produced the kind of moment that makes goalkeeping coaches reach for antacids. Kepa Arrizabalaga, already carrying baggage from a high-profile mistake during the Carabao Cup final against Manchester City back in March, fumbled a corner kick that led directly to a conceded goal.
Fan tokens and the performance feedback loop
Arsenal launched its official fan token, AFC, back in August 2021 through a partnership with Socios.com, built on the Chiliz blockchain. The token was designed to give supporters a slice of participatory governance: voting in polls, unlocking rewards, and accessing exclusive club content.
AFC currently trades around $0.16 to $0.17 on exchanges including Binance.
