This deal confirms the growth and the appeal of the Inter brand, despite all the challenges the Club is facing during the pandemic period.

Luca Danovaro, CMO of Inter said: “Our partnership with Chiliz and Socios.com is solidly based on core values that we share: technology, innovation and staying close to our fans.
“The exciting activations that we are designing together will enable us to succeed in engaging with young generations all over the world, an objective that became even clearer for us during these months, when we felt the overwhelming support of all the Interisti even with closed stadiums.”
Alexandre Dreyfus, CEO of Chiliz and Socios.com, said: “The Inter Milan front of shirt is the perfect space for us to promote the start of this new partnership and build mass awareness of the opportunities for innovation and engagement created by the $INTER Fan Token.
