KUALA LUMPUR – Nine-time Malaysian Super League champions Johor Darul Ta’zim (JDT) will launch their official $JDT Fan Token on the Socios.com fan engagement and rewards app on July 5.
Fifty thousand $JDT Fan Tokens will be made available at $1 via a Fan Token Offering (FTO) that will kick off at 6pm local time (GMT+8), with purchases being capped at 100 tokens during the first 24 hours to ensure as many JDT fans as possible can access this unique opportunity.
“The JDT Fan Token will provide the club’s fans worldwide with a new platform to connect and engage with the team through the Socios.com app.
“It will allow them to partake in fan-related decisions such as product and facility designs or in-stadium celebration songs by voting on polls.
“They can also enjoy special content, promotions and discounts and access exclusive rewards, from match-worn shirts to VIP tickets and once-in-a-lifetime opportunities such as meet and greets with players and legends,” the club said in a statement.
Immediately after the FTO kicks off, the first fan poll will be launched on Socios.com, where fans owning at least one $JDT Fan Token will be able to vote.
The poll’s subject will be revealed soon.
One $JDT Fan Token will be enough to vote on all the polls launched by the club and to take part in Socios.com’s multiple JDT-themed features.
But the more $JDT Fan Tokens one owns, the higher the influence one has and the more chances one will have to earn rewards.
“The benefits of being a JDT Fan Token holder expand beyond the Socios.com app.
“Holding $JDT Fan Tokens will unlock special discounts and promotions across a wide range of businesses in Malaysia, including restaurants (KFC, Woodfire, Coppola), cinemas (GSC) and amusement parks (xPark),” the club added.
