When the 2024 European Cup kicked off, millions of football fans didn’t just watch the matches-they played them. Not on a console or in a video game, but inside a blockchain-powered world where every goal, tackle, and tactical decision could earn you a real NFT. That world was Footballcraft, built by TOPGOAL, and the campaign behind it was one of the biggest Web3 sports airdrops of the year.
The TopGoal x CoinMarketCap Football Festival Campaign wasn’t just another token giveaway. It was a full-blown digital fan experience, blending real-time football excitement with blockchain rewards. Over 191,000 people joined. Only 10,000 won. And if you missed it, here’s exactly how it worked-so you know what to expect next time.
What Was the TopGoal x CoinMarketCap Airdrop?
The campaign ran from June 14 to July 1, 2024, and was tied directly to the European Cup. It wasn’t about handing out free $GOAL tokens-it was about giving away 10,000 special edition NFTs. These weren’t just images. Each NFT was a unique digital collectible tied to a specific match, player, or moment from the tournament. Think of them like digital match tickets with permanent value.
TOPGOAL’s entire platform is built around Footballcraft, a 12x speed AI football simulator. It’s not a game where you click buttons. It’s a live, evolving world where your team’s performance, strategy, and even your in-game decisions affect your NFT’s rarity and future utility. The airdrop was the gateway to this world.
CoinMarketCap didn’t just promote it-they ran it. The platform handled participant verification, code distribution, and winner selection. Winners got their NFTs automatically deposited into their Footballcraft accounts. No claiming. No wallet headaches. Just log in and play.
How Did You Actually Enter?
This wasn’t a one-click airdrop. It was a multi-step process designed to build real engagement. You couldn’t just sign up and hope. You had to prove you were a fan.
- Visit CoinMarketCap and search for TOPGOAL. Add it to your watchlist.
- Follow both @TopGoal and @Footballcraft on Twitter.
- Retweet the official airdrop tweet and tag three friends. This wasn’t optional-it spread the word.
- Join the TOPGOAL Telegram group and the Footballcraft Discord server.
- Download the Footballcraft app on iOS, Android, or use the web version at footballcraft.io.
- Sign up for a TopGoal account and link your BEP-20 wallet.
- Go to CoinMarketCap’s Diamond Store, get your unique code, and enter it into the Footballcraft app under “Partner Code.”
- Complete the required Google Form with your TopGoal account info and social handles.
Missing one step? You were out. No exceptions. This wasn’t a lottery-it was a test of genuine interest. The 191,499 participants weren’t just crypto speculators. They were football fans who took the time to learn the system.
What Did You Win?
The 10,000 NFTs were mystery boxes. Each contained a randomized special edition digital item-some were common, some were rare. A few had hidden utility: early access to new game modes, exclusive team skins, or even bonus $GOAL tokens. The value wasn’t just in resale. It was in how it unlocked deeper gameplay.
But that wasn’t the only airdrop. TOPGOAL ran parallel campaigns:
- One offered 3,000 NFTs worth $30,000 total-meaning some individual NFTs were valued at $10 each.
- Another gave 10,000 standard NFTs to 10,000 winners, one each.
The difference? The $30,000 campaign had higher rarity tiers. One NFT might give you a legendary coach avatar. Another might unlock a VIP match simulation. The mystery box system kept people coming back, wondering what they’d get.
Why Did CoinMarketCap Get Involved?
CoinMarketCap isn’t just a price tracker anymore. It’s becoming a hub for Web3 engagement. By hosting this campaign, they turned their platform into a gateway-not just for data, but for experience. Their Diamond Store wasn’t selling NFTs. It was selling access.
This move helped them:
- Bring new users into Web3 gaming
- Boost engagement on their site
- Strengthen partnerships with blockchain sports projects
For TOPGOAL, it meant instant credibility. Being featured on CoinMarketCap gave them exposure to millions of crypto users who’d never heard of Footballcraft.
What’s the $GOAL Token’s Role?
The $GOAL token is the backbone of the whole ecosystem. It’s used for:
- Purchasing in-game items
- Staking for rewards
- Participating in governance votes
- Unlocking premium features in Footballcraft
As of February 2026, $GOAL trades at $0.002151 USD with a daily volume of around $17,000. It’s not a flashy coin. But its unlock schedule is deliberate: only 2.1% of the total supply is released each month until February 2025. That means no sudden dumps. The team is building slowly, with long-term value in mind.
The token isn’t needed to join the game. But if you want to compete at the top level, you’ll need it. And the NFTs you won? They’re designed to increase your $GOAL earning potential over time.
How Is This Different From Other Web3 Sports Games?
Most sports games are closed systems. You play, you lose, you pay to restart. TOPGOAL flips that.
Traditional games keep all the value inside the company. TOPGOAL gives it to you. Your NFTs are yours. You can trade them. You can use them. You can even earn from them later.
It’s not just about playing football. It’s about owning a piece of the digital world that simulates it. The AI engine learns from real matches. Your team adapts. Your strategy matters. And your rewards? They’re tied to real-world outcomes.
That’s why it’s not called a game. It’s called an autonomous sports world.
What’s Next?
The 2024 campaign is over. But the platform isn’t. Footballcraft is expanding to basketball and baseball. New airdrops are planned around the 2026 World Cup. The team has already hinted at a “Fan Power” system where your past participation (like winning an NFT in 2024) gives you priority access to future rewards.
Don’t wait for the next campaign to start. Download Footballcraft now. Link your wallet. Follow TOPGOAL on Twitter. Join their Telegram. Be ready. The next airdrop won’t be announced with fanfare-it’ll be live before you know it.
Did everyone who entered win an NFT in the TopGoal x CoinMarketCap campaign?
No. Only 10,000 winners were selected from 191,499 participants. The campaign was designed to be competitive, not a guaranteed giveaway. Winners were chosen based on complete participation across all required steps, including social media actions and app registration. Simply signing up wasn’t enough-you had to prove active engagement.
Can I still join the Footballcraft game even if I missed the airdrop?
Yes. Footballcraft is available for free on iOS, Android, and web. You don’t need to have won an NFT to play. The game is fully playable without rewards. But winning an NFT gives you early access to exclusive features, special team skins, and bonus $GOAL earnings. If you’re serious about playing long-term, it’s worth preparing for the next campaign.
What wallet do I need to participate in future TOPGOAL airdrops?
You need a BEP-20 compatible wallet on the BNB Chain. Popular options include Trust Wallet, MetaMask (configured for BNB Chain), or the built-in wallet in the Footballcraft app. Make sure your wallet supports BEP-20 tokens and can receive NFTs. Ethereum wallets won’t work unless they’re bridged to BNB Chain.
Are the NFTs from the 2024 campaign still usable today?
Yes. All NFTs awarded during the 2024 campaign are still active in Footballcraft. They grant access to special in-game content, including unique team kits, exclusive match simulations, and bonus $GOAL rewards. Some NFTs even unlock higher-tier gameplay modes. There’s no expiration date, and they’re stored directly in your Footballcraft account.
Will there be another airdrop for the 2026 World Cup?
Almost certainly. TOPGOAL has confirmed plans to expand its campaigns around major global tournaments, starting with the 2026 World Cup. Based on past patterns, expect a similar multi-platform campaign with CoinMarketCap, Telegram, Discord, and Footballcraft app integration. Keep your social accounts updated, download the app now, and follow @TopGoal on Twitter for early announcements.
