By layering on blockchain technology and including NFTs, it gives fans more connectivity to the players they love.”
OneTeam, the group licensing partner that leads the NFLPA’s video games business, facilitated the deal. “SuperTeam Games’ unique vision for a fast-paced, action-packed game will bring fans to the core of the sport they love. NFL athletes are some of the most competitive people in the world, and we’re excited to support a game that focuses so heavily on teamwork and competition,” said Henry Lowenfels, Chief Product Officer at OneTeam.

About the NFLPA
The National Football League Players Association (“NFLPA”) is the union for professional football players in the National Football League. Established in 1956, the NFLPA has a long history of assuring proper recognition and representation of players’ interests. The NFLPA has shown that it will do whatever is necessary to assure that the rights of players are protected—including ceasing to be a union, if necessary, as it did in 1989. In 1993, the NFLPA again was officially recognized as the union representing the players and negotiated a landmark Collective Bargaining Agreement (“CBA”) with the NFL. The current CBA will govern the sport through the 2030 NFL season.
