FIFA Collect Crosses 1 Million Users on Avalanche, CEO Cites Tech Fit

FIFA Collect (fifacollect) says it has crossed 1 million users, a milestone announced by the Avalanche account avax on Sept. 17, 2026.

Francesco Abbate, CEO of FIFA Collect, described the decision to build on Avalanche technology as an intuitive one given the requirements FIFA Collect had. Abbate's comments accompanied the user milestone.

FIFA Collect lets fans own digital soccer collectibles, compete for exclusive rewards, and access Right-to-Buys (RTBs) for FIFA World Cup 26 tickets. The platform runs on Avalanche-based infrastructure, placing it among the more prominent consumer-facing applications in the Avalanche ecosystem.

Consumer adoption signal

The 1 million user figure marks a notable scale milestone for a sports collectibles platform operating onchain. FIFA's brand reach and the approaching World Cup 26 cycle give FIFA Collect a distribution channel tied to a global sports brand, with ticket-linked Right-to-Buys tying digital assets to real-world match access.

Avalanche has been positioning itself around institutional and consumer use cases in recent months, from digital identity deals to onchain trading infrastructure, and the FIFA Collect number adds a retail-facing data point to that push.

What to watch

The announcement does not break down the 1 million figure by active wallets, verified accounts, or registered users, nor give a timeline for when the threshold was crossed. With World Cup 26 approaching, how the platform converts that user base into ticket-linked Right-to-Buy participation will be the next metric to track.
