Goals is a play to earn football video game that revolves around NFTs. Players will be able to obtain crypto assets by playing that they will manage in “a free market”.

His ambitious plan is to “attract gamers who want a good gaming experience, compete in an eSport-appropriate football title, and actually own their digital items.

“We believe this is a fair solution for both users and the development team, as players can get free rewards that later they can sell”, they comment.
