A few weeks ago I saw this tweet by @JSway1984 about a possible name for a FIFA NFT wallet.
Noticing that @FIFAcollect was available, I grabbed it to avoid someone with bad intentions taking it and potentially messing things up for #Algorand.

Today a video by FIFA came up on my feed, and when looking at it I realised the whole '+' bit would be pretty important branding-wise to FIFA.
So I looked up @FIFAPlusCollect – to find that it was registered in May this year.

@FIFAPlusCollect has 5 followers, & follows 1 account – @RosieLabsGlobal, a 'marketing services' firm.
I took a look at their clients – nothing interesting. So I looked at their team.

There's going to be a 'fantastic panel on how Web3 is transforming Sports' at the event, while David Song is doing a 'fireside chat'.
Who else is doing a fireside chat? Someone called Abby Barsky, Strategy & Digital for FIFA.
