OneFootball Raises $300 Million in Series D Funding Round
OneFootball, a Berlin-based soccer media company, announced on Thursday that it had raised $300 million in a Series D funding round.
Animoca Brands, Dapper Labs, DAH Beteiligungs GmbH, Quiet Capital, RIT Capital Partners, Senator Investment Group, and Alsara Investment Group all contributed to the round, which was led by blockchain fund and incubator Liberty City Ventures.
According to an emailed statement, the funds will be used to support the company’s expansion efforts, investments in web3 companies, and OneFootball Labs, a new joint venture with Animoca Brands and Liberty City Ventures.

“Over the last year, the sporting universe has made progress in harnessing the potential of NFTs and gaming, offering fans new digital experiences based on the important principles of true digital ownership and decentralization. Animoca Brands is proud to have played a role in nearly every significant milestone in the development of true digital property rights via NFTs.”
