• Exclusive perks: the fan pass offers various benefits, including priority access to tickets, meet-and-greet events with players, and special discounts on merchandise and services from club partners.

Blocksport’s CEO, Vladimir Liulka, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership: “Our goal is to bring fans closer to their favourite clubs through technology. By partnering with Blackcatcard, we’re offering a solution that not only enhances the fan experience but also integrates seamlessly into their everyday financial activities.”
