To conclude, this collaboration will open new doors in the sports NFT niche. Stade Toulousain is the most successful French rugby club to date.

“It’s in the nature of Stade Toulousain to be a pioneer and to open the way”, says the Stade Toulousain President Didier Lacroix. “This is why we thought of a complete system, accessible to all and with very high added value for our supporters.”

Of course, Stade Toulousain isn’t the first rugby club in the world to tap into NFTs. In fact, the Rugby League World Club launched its own collectibles back in November 2021.
