Score a Goal through Soccer
Since recent times, many other franchises and teams in sports have joined hands with particular wallets, blockchain-focused exchanges, and companies.

The partnership will promote the inclusion of more women in crypto, which is a highly male-dominated field.
Women’s sports gets put in shade, but women’s soccer happens to be something that is too big to not see lately. Steve Ehrlich closed his CNBC conversation by making additional statements about the significance of this agreement.
A “significant portion” of the investment that Voyager is making in the NWSL as part of the deal will create a fund that will be split across each player and put into their own individual Voyager crypto account, Ehrlich said, declining to provide specific financial details. Voyager will offer financial education for players about crypto.
