Footium raised a $3.35 million seed round

The funding round was led by London-based VC firm, BACKED and saw participation from Animoca Brands, Stride. VC, Entrée Capital, RLC Ventures, and IVC, as well as gaming guilds such as Yield Guild Games SEA, BAYZ, BlackPool DAO, and Merit Circle. In addition, several angel investors, including Chris Smalling, ex-Manchester United and England international footballer, have decided to back the game.

The start-up intends to use the new funding to grow its team and incorporate feedback from the public beta phase. For example, the underlying game engine will be made more complex to improve the gameplay experience and ensure that the game is fully completed by the game's planned release date in the second quarter of 2022.

"Blockchain is pioneering an economic revolution in gaming by enabling gamers to participate in the economics of the games they love. Footium is doing exactly that for Football Manager - a category primed to benefit from play-to-earn mechanics" - Pascal Suhrcke, Investor at BACKED

What is Footium?

Footium is a multiplayer football management game that lets you own a football club, manage your team and tactics, and develop new talent through your youth academy. The game uses NFTs to give users true ownership rights to their players and allow them to trade them on the blockchain. Similar to a traditional football manager, the goal is to win cup competitions and move up in the divisions.

Unlike other football manager games, Footium allows players to earn real money through the play2earn mechanism. Football media brand Copa90, Dutch footballer Nigel de Jong, international cricketers Ravi Bopara and Carlos Brathwaite, and Footium angel investor Chris Smalling are among the notable club owners involved in Footium.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.

No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.

Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.

We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.

Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.

Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.

We stand behind the value of our research. If the documented upside from our published research during your 12-month membership does not exceed three times (3X) the annual subscription cost, you can request a full refund. Historical context: In every completed market cycle since 2017, cumulative documented upside has exceeded 10X this threshold.
