After the events surrounding the Champions League final between Premier League club Liverpool and La Liga side Real Madrid in Paris, it has been recommended that the upcoming 2023 Rugby World Cup and Paris 2024 Olympics should utilise NFT (non-fungible token) ticketing.
It is hoped the initiative would reduce fraudulent processes, like the situation witnessed at the UEFA Champions League final.
