Cristiano Ronaldo’s first collection of NFTs will be available on Friday, November 18 as part of an exclusive multi-year partnership with Binance, the world’s leading blockchain ecosystem and cryptocurrency infrastructure provider.
The launch is supported by a global marketing campaign starring Ronaldo, which aims to give his fans an introduction to Web3 through the world of NFT.

Cristiano’s first NFT Collection with Binance
The world’s all-time leading scorer has launched his first NFT collection with Binance. The Manchester United player announced the multi-year partnership deal in June this year, making his first major foray into cryptocurrencies.
The collection will debut on Binance’s NFT marketplace on Friday, November 18, 2022. This launch seems timed to perfection, as it comes a day after Piers Morgan’s entire interview with Cristiano Ronaldo about how Manchester United betrayed him is posted on Piers Morgan’s YouTube channel.
Morgan and Ronaldo have been releasing teasers of the 90-minute interview ahead of the two-part release, the first of which will be out on Wednesday.

On Tuesday, Morgan said on his channel that while some people seem to criticize Ronaldo after watching small snippets of the interview, many will sympathize with him once they see the full show.
Ronaldo stated that part of the reason for creating the collection was to recognize that his fans are an important part of his success.
“It was important for me to create something memorable and unique for my fans, as they are such an important part of my success,” Ronaldo said. “With Binance, I was able to do that in addition to capturing the passion of the game also rewards the fans for all these years of support.”
Cristiano Ronaldo’s inaugural NFT collection will go on sale Nov. 18 (9 a.m. UTC) and will feature seven animated statues with four levels of rarity: Normal (N), Rare (R), Super Rare (SR) and Super Rare (SSR). Each NFT statue depicts Ronaldo at an iconic moment in his life, from his career-defining bicycle kicks to his childhood in Portugal.

CR7’s 45 highest value NFTs (5 SSRs and 40 SRs) will be auctioned on Binance’s NFT marketplace. The auction will remain open for 24 hours, and the NFTs will be awarded to the highest bidder. Bidding prices will start at 10,000 BUSD for SSRs and 1,700 BUSD for SRs.

All collections will be available exclusively on Binance.com; follow Binance on Twitter for the latest updates.
The launch of Ronaldo’s NFT collection also comes just days after Manchester United announced its first NFT collection with Tezos.
