After profound success with its first metaverse soccer training session with Ruben Dias, OKX has released its second soccer masterclass, this time with Manchester City’s captain, Ilkay Gundogan.

OKX, one of the leading cryptocurrency exchanges in the world, has launched an immersive metaverse experience for soccer fans called Make Your Play.

İlkay Gündoğan shared in a press release:

The beauty of our game is in the tactics. As someone who loves coaching and highlighting the tactical skills that are needed to win, it is hugely exciting to be able to share what I know in an arena like the OKX metaverse.”

The OKX collective is the cryptocurrency exchange’s virtual metaverse environment. The program will allow fans to access special content from some of Manchester City’s best soccer players, including Alex Greenwood, Jack Grealish, and Ruben Dias.
