Bulgarian football club Botev Plovdiv<\/a>, the oldest football club in Bulgaria, has taken another step towards embracing Bitcoin and accelerating grassroots adoption of the digital currency in a strategic partnership with JAN3<\/a>, a leading technology company focused on expanding access to Bitcoin. Botev Plovdiv aims to become the premier Bitcoin-native sports club, according to a press release sent to Bitcoin Magazine.<\/p>\n

\u201cBitcoin is central to our club’s strategy,\u201d\u00a0stated\u00a0Botev owner\u00a0Anton Zingarevich.\u00a0\u201cWe’re inspired by the global success stories of Bitcoin adoption and are excited to bring this innovation to Botev, our fans, and the city of Plovdiv. JAN3’s cutting-edge tools are instrumental in this journey.\u201d<\/p>\n

This collaboration introduces innovative measures to integrate Bitcoin into the club’s operations and engage with its fan base. The AQUA Wallet, developed by JAN3, also introduces “Botev Mode,” aiming to make transactions more accessible and efficient for fans and the local community.<\/p>\n

JAN3 told Bitcoin Magazine that with the integration of their AQUA wallet, the idea is for the club to introduce discounts or even a cashback program for paying in bitcoin, and that “the club will also aim to educate Bulgarian fans that take an interest in Bitcoin, teaching them how to use it not only for team purchases but also integrate in their daily lives.”<\/p>\n

As part of the partnership, Botev Plovdiv’s team jerseys will feature JAN3’s logo. The integration of the AQUA wallet into the club’s ecosystem marks a significant milestone in bridging the gap between professional sports and Bitcoin.<\/p>\n
