TopGoal x CoinMarketCap Football Festival Airdrop: How to Participate and Win NFTs

On June 14, 2024, a major Web3 sports event kicked off: the TopGoal x CoinMarketCap Football Festival Campaign. It wasn’t just another crypto giveaway. This was a full-scale, multi-platform push to bring real football fans into a blockchain-powered game where your actions could earn you rare NFTs - no trading, no speculation, just playing and winning.

By the time it ended on July 1, nearly 200,000 people had tried to join. Only 10,000 walked away with special edition NFTs. That’s a 19-to-1 chance. If you missed it, you might be wondering: could this happen again? And if so, how do you actually win?

What Was the TopGoal x CoinMarketCap Football Festival Campaign?

The campaign was a partnership between TopGoal, an AI-driven Web3 sports platform, and CoinMarketCap, the world’s most trusted crypto data site. Together, they launched the Footballcraft European Cup Airdrop, tied to the real-world European football tournament. The goal? To turn casual fans into active players in a digital football world.

TopGoal’s game, Footballcraft, is a 12x speed AI-powered football simulation. You manage teams, make tactical decisions, and compete in leagues - all on-chain. Unlike traditional sports games, where you can’t own what you play with, Footballcraft lets you own your players, kits, and trophies as NFTs. These aren’t just pictures. They’re digital assets you can trade, display, or use in future game updates.

CoinMarketCap didn’t just list the token. It became the gateway. To enter, you had to go through its Diamond Store, follow social channels, join Discord and Telegram, and link your wallet. Winners were selected by CoinMarketCap and received their NFTs directly inside their Footballcraft accounts - no claiming, no waiting.

How Did the Airdrop Work?

Winning wasn’t random. It was a checklist. You had to complete every step. Skip one, and you were out.

1. Visit CoinMarketCap.com and search for TOPGOAL.
2. Add TOPGOAL to your watchlist.
3. Follow both @TopGoal_NFT and @Footballcraft on Twitter.
4. Retweet the official airdrop tweet and tag three friends.
5. Join the official TOPGOAL Telegram group.
6. Join the Footballcraft Discord server.
7. Download the Footballcraft app from iOS, Android, or play it on the web at footballcraft.io.
8. Sign up for a Footballcraft account.
9. Go to CoinMarketCap’s Diamond Store and get your unique participation code.
10. Enter that code in the Footballcraft app under "Partner Code".
11. Submit your BEP-20 wallet address on the CMC campaign page.
12. Register a TopGoal account.

That’s 13 steps. Most people didn’t finish them all. That’s why only 10,000 won.

There was also a separate requirement: you had to retweet CoinMarketCap’s official airdrop tweet. No exceptions. No shortcuts. The system tracked every action. If your Twitter account was private, or your Telegram link didn’t match your wallet, you were disqualified.

What Did Winners Get?

Winners received one special edition Footballcraft NFT - a digital collectible tied to the European Cup theme. These weren’t just generic NFTs. They had unique designs, limited availability, and were linked to the game’s live events.

Each NFT was delivered directly into the winner’s Footballcraft account. You didn’t need to claim it. You didn’t need to move it. It was already there, ready to use. You could equip it in your team, trade it later, or hold it as a trophy.

TopGoal ran multiple campaigns during the same period. One offered 3,000 NFTs worth $30,000 total - meaning each NFT was valued at around $10. The Football Festival NFTs weren’t priced, but given the hype and exclusivity, they carried similar or higher perceived value among collectors.

Why Did TopGoal Do This?

TopGoal isn’t trying to be another crypto project. It’s building a parallel football world - one where fans aren’t just spectators, but owners. The airdrop wasn’t about selling tokens. It was about onboarding real people into a system where their engagement has value.

Traditional sports games like FIFA or Madden lock you in. You buy a game, play it, spend money, and own nothing. TopGoal flips that. You play, you earn, you own. Your NFTs are yours forever. You can sell them. You can use them in future seasons. You can even influence game development through community votes.

The partnership with CoinMarketCap was smart. Instead of chasing crypto-only users, TopGoal reached millions of people already tracking crypto prices - many of whom are also football fans. The campaign didn’t just promote a token. It promoted a new way to experience sports.

What’s the GOAL Token’s Role?

The $GOAL token is the backbone of TopGoal’s economy. It’s used to buy in-game items, enter tournaments, upgrade teams, and vote on features. But you didn’t need $GOAL to enter the airdrop.

As of November 2025, $GOAL trades at $0.002151 with a daily volume of around $17,000. It’s not a high-value token, but it’s not meant to be. It’s a utility token - designed to fuel gameplay, not speculation.

TopGoal uses a slow unlock schedule: only 2.1% of tokens are released each month until February 2025. That keeps supply tight and prevents dump pressure. It’s a sign they’re thinking long-term, not just chasing quick hype.

Can You Still Join?

The Football Festival Campaign ended on July 1, 2024. The 10,000 NFTs are gone. But that doesn’t mean the door is closed.

TopGoal runs airdrops regularly - often tied to new game updates, tournaments, or partnerships. The next one could be for the World Cup, the Champions League, or even a new basketball mode.

Here’s what you should do now:

• Download Footballcraft on iOS or Android, or play on web.
• Create a TopGoal account and link your BEP-20 wallet.
• Follow @TopGoal_NFT on Twitter and join their Telegram.
• Keep an eye on CoinMarketCap’s "Airdrops" section - it’s where new campaigns are announced.

Don’t wait for a tweet. Set up alerts. Bookmark the Diamond Store. The next campaign could be live tomorrow.

What’s Next for TopGoal?

TopGoal has already raised attention from major players: Binance, OKX Web3, Chiliz Chain, and BNB Chain are all partners. That means more exposure, more integrations, and more airdrops.

They’re also expanding beyond football. Basketball and baseball modes are in development. Each sport will have its own NFTs, tokens, and campaigns. The goal? To become the Web3 equivalent of EA Sports - but owned by the players.

Their roadmap includes:

• On-chain team ownership (you own your squad as NFTs)
• Player skill NFTs that evolve based on real-world performance
• Live match simulations synced with real games
• Community voting on game rules and updates

This isn’t science fiction. It’s happening. And the people who joined the Football Festival campaign are already inside.

Final Thoughts

The TopGoal x CoinMarketCap campaign wasn’t about getting rich. It was about getting in. It was about being part of the first wave of fans who didn’t just watch football - they helped build its digital future.

If you’re serious about Web3 sports, don’t wait for the next big announcement. Start now. Download the app. Link your wallet. Follow the channels. Be ready.

The next airdrop might not have 10,000 winners. It might have 50,000. But if you’re not signed up, you won’t be one of them.
