Players stocks is a new way for players and fans to connect in 2024.
Athletes can fund their careers with the help of fans. Support and players stocks development creates unique experience for young players and generation.
It is hard to imagine even a few years ago that you could fund money for your career somewhere outside of your family. Today we have an opportunity to invest in the next future stars with just a few clicks.
Special deals that create unique experiences for both parties. Players and fans. Probably you tried to invest in stocks and some cutting-edge companies. What about doing the same but in the field you like more?
You can create a portfolio of players. What % of them will be the next superstars is an open question. Just to dive a bit more, imagine that you invest in young Novak Djokovic at age 20.
Male tennis players with the highest career earnings as of September 2023
On stage is stepping FANtium where you can build your portfolio of sports assets, participate in their success, and become part of the team. Currently available for individual players in Tennis.
Numbers:
$450 raised for athletes
$120 total fund paid back to fans
+12k users on the platform
94% of our FANs watch more tennis since FANtium.
You buy tokens + additional perks for fans. I like a detailed offer about each player to give you a better overview. You can start even from 99$.
The model itself looks good but do we have to create additional channels for fan engagement + opportunity to build a net income for the future? Sounds like a good strategy but you should consider risks and analyze your choice anyway.
Each player has a detailed offer
Age
Player performance, and offer to play a significant role in the final decision
The engagement rate will increase because you will start to follow the player
ATP season kick-off already in January 2024
Tennis is a sport with only 1 1-month break
Closer look?
After some analysis, it seems that the starting point for me can be a player ABDULLAH SHELBAYH and I’ll explain why.
20 years old
ATP Ranking 195 by the end of season 2023
Investments start from 99$
The first player representing Jordan (for me it’s gonna be an extra motivation)
Payback starts ATP Ranking 150
Seems like with a good scenario he can reach ATP 150 in 2024?
Seems that FANtium is going to enhance portfolio with other sports and clubs. Football?

I think there is no need to write about their promotion to EPL in the season 2022/2023. If you can invest in clubs, the progression is in front of you.
The future
It still too many uncertainties ahead with this model and for now only a few players are on the market. You never know where the trend will go but observing the development of this niche can potentially create a boost to the sports industry, fan engagement, and investments for low-tier leagues, and players which potentially could help to see the next superstar.
Thanks for reading and see you in 2024.
Cheers,
