Fans of Liga 1 Indonesia team PERSIB will soon be able to join the most empowered and engaged community in sport following the club’s announcement that they will launch a Fan Token on Socios. PERSIB becomes the first Indonesian club to partner with the world-leading blockchain powered fan engagement and rewards app.
