Ozil group's NFT plan for Necaxa impeded by Mexican Football Federation

The German midfielder and several other star athletes want to sell on part of their Liga MX club ownership through a digital token

Mesut Ozil and several other star athletes who have bought into Liga MX club Necaxa could have their plan to pass on a portion of their ownership through a Non-Fungible Token (NFT) blocked by the Mexican Football Federation.

Ozil's group announced this week that it would sell a digital token to the public representing a 1 per cent stake in Necaxa. However, the Mexican Football Federation released a statement Tuesday night saying the scheme was likely not allowed under its current rules.
