Welcome to the SportsIcon Lion Club

We’re setting out with an ambitious goal to create the greatest sports club in the world.

Want to meet some of the greatest sportspeople in the world? Join the lion club

Want exclusive tickets to real-world sporting events? Join the lion club

Want airdrops of sports-related NFTs? Join the lion club.

We are huge proponents of the power of NFTs and community. We are inspired by the creativity and community showcased by projects such as BAYC and Vee Friends.

Our aim is to emulate these projects but focus specifically on sports.

There are 9000 memberships available, and that’s all there ever will be. At 9000 strong, our community would be bigger than the crowds at many sporting events; lower-division football clubs, cricket games, rugby, to name just a few.

Imagine the collective buying power of the lion club with 9000 members. If we completely sell out of Lions, we will look to create a Lion Club DAO. We’ll use this DAO to buy sports-related NFTs, real-world memorabilia, real-world sporting tickets and much more.

Let’s dive into the other benefits.

• Zoom and AMA’s chat’s with some of the greatest sportspeople of all time (see here for previous Zoom calls with stars)
• In-person meetups with the greatest sportspeople of all time
• Airdrops of exclusive sports-related NFTs
• VIP sporting event tickets
• Real-world sports outings
• Free entry to $ICONS stadium to view NFTs in VR
• Private discord community channel.
• The NFT acts as a ticket to certain SportsIcon events
