What does the deal between Binance and AFA propose?
Binance, the world's leading crypto exchange platform, has entered into a collaboration agreement with the AFA, one of the world’s top soccer federations in the world. Binance will be the major sponsor of all the Argentinian national soccer teams over the next five years as a result of this agreement.
Moreover, the partnership intends to strengthen the brand’s relationship with one of the world's most popular soccer teams, introducing cryptocurrencies to fans and users to more developed crypto technologies.

In addition, the agreement also involves the introduction and development of a new fan token, which will be available soon. The AFA, on the other hand, had previously launched a fan token called $ARG in partnership with Socios.com, a fan token firm. Socios now argues the AFA broke its contract by bringing Binance on board as its principal worldwide sponsor, barely nine months after the deal was signed.
