- The match was viewed by nearly 92,000 people.
- The Empowerment NFT will offer a range of benefits to its holder in addition to the ownership.

- Diana-Luk Ye, the Web3 Partnerships and Marketing Manager at World of Women, said the Masterpiece collection supports their mission to empower women and non-binary people through Web3, adding that representation is still an issue they are trying to fix.
FC Barcelona released the first NFT of the Masterpiece collection, In a Way, Immortal, in 2022, with inspiration from the late football player Johann Cruyff. - The NFT was sold for around $700,000 by the auction house Sotheby's.
