In the near future, the NFT will occupy a key place in the commercial sphere of world sports. So say analysts of Price Waterhouse Coopers (PwC) - authoritative international consulting and audit company.

In their report Sports Outlook 2022 experts concluded that various collectible sports merchandise, such as tickets for major tournaments or cards with the image of players can easily become digital and be placed on the blockchain. According to experts, it is realistic to create NFT on the basis of these things and exchange them within the meta-universes.

At the moment, there are already real examples of successful interaction of the NFT sphere with big sports. In particular, the NBA Top Shop service distributes exclusive basketball cards of the popular players to all comers. Another example is the game Sorare, where you can make your own team from the cards of the players, the indicators of which are directly linked to the success of real players.

Analysts pointed out that today, as before, the traditional sources of income for sports teams are the sale of tickets, investments from sponsors and advertising. However, according to them, in the near future, most of the money will come from digital ticket sales and NFT.
