One of the most potentially transformative new technologies to emerge over the last decade is arguably one of the most misunderstood. Blockchain is a term that many struggle to get their heads around and it’s too often intrinsically linked to cryptocurrency and the darkweb.

But that’s a mindset worth changing, as blockchain is proving to be a method of securing transactional data in a way that’s ensuring it can’t be amended or disrupted in transit – whether that’s accidentally or maliciously.

In a time of decreasing trust, blockchain provides a secure way of sending information and has a number of potential uses.

So what’s in it for sport? From sending information on player data, to uses in fan engagement and monetisation, we’re assembling a panel of experts to explain what blockchain is and what potential it has to revolutionise sports organisations.
