Which National Team Fan Tokens Hit Double-Digit Gains Before November Internationals?
Spain, Scotland, South Africa and Portugal are gaining ground, while Belgium holds onto weekly growth as another international window approaches.
National teams are back in the spotlight this week ahead of November’s upcoming UEFA Nations League and AFCON 2027 fixtures.
Several international team SportFi assets were flashing green on Thursday, Oct. 29, outperforming the broader Fan Token® segment, as well as the wider cryptocurrency market.
Let’s examine which countries’ Fan Token® digital assets are performing well in anticipation of the international games, and look ahead to how the teams represented by those tokens might perform.
When do National Teams Play Next?
| Team | First fixture | Second fixture |
| Spain | Czechia away, Nov. 12 | England home, Nov. 15 |
| Scotland | North Macedonia home, Nov. 13 | Switzerland away, Nov. 16 |
| Belgium | Türkiye away, Nov. 12 | Italy home, Nov. 15 |
| Portugal | Denmark home, Nov. 14 | Wales away, Nov. 17 |
| South Africa | Kenya home, Nov. 13 | Kenya away, Nov. 17 |
$SPAIN Price Analysis
Spain are set to play Czechia in an away fixture followed by England at home in a pair of games that the current World Cup holders will be expected to win. The last time England beat Spain was in 2018, and they have won just twice in their past 10 head-to-heads.
Perhaps that’s why the Spain Fan Token® ($SPAIN) was up 10.3% over 24 hours as of Oct. 29, according to price data from Socios.com. Although it should be noted that Spain have already qualified from their Nations League qualifying group.
Seen below, the token price briefly exceeded $0.09, but still retained double-digit gains despite the pullback to the $0.085 range, up from $0.077 earlier in the day.
Trade volume climbed from $50,000 to over $300,000, as it appears traders are looking to execute moves early, ahead of the fixtures in mid-November.
South Africa ($SAFA) Price Analysis
The South Africa Fan Token® ($SAFA) had registered 13.6% gains over 24 hours on Oct. 29 – is this a sign that traders expect South Africa to qualify from their group?
South Africa are competing to qualify for AFCON 2027, and their matches against Kenya in the group stage hold special significance. As co-hosts of next year’s tournament, Kenya qualify automatically from their group, leaving just one qualifying berth for another team.
South Africa already top their group with two wins from two, and with Kenya still yet to pick up a win, Bafana Bafana will be favoured to take another six points from their upcoming back-to-back fixtures against the Kenyans.
Trade volume for $SAFA sat at just below $200,000 at time of writing, up from $150,000 24 hours prior.
Scotland ($SFA) Price Analysis
The Scotland Fan Token® ($SFA) spot price shot up from $0.045 to $0.052 in the space of a few hours on Oct. 29, marking 15.5% growth, and it continues to climb at time of writing.
$SFA trade volume more than doubled from $130,000 to over $270,000 in the space of a few hours as trading took off.
Scotland currently sit third in their group, with four points from four games. The upcoming matches against North Macedonia and group leaders Switzerland will prove crucial to the nation’s chances of qualifying for next year’s tournament.
Portugal ($POR) Price Analysis
The Portugal Fan Token® ($POR) gained as much as 6% in a brief spike on Thursday morning, climbing from $0.065 to $0.069.
The token price had returned to $0.066 by time of writing, leaving $POR holding on to 1.5% growth.
Trade volume also increased significantly, from $70,000, to over $200,000 during this upturn.
Like Spain, Portugal – the reigning Nations League champions – have already qualified from the group stage, having recorded four wins from four.
Belgium ($BELG) Price Analysis
The Belgium Fan Token® ($BELG) was the only one not to be in the green on Thursday, with the token price fluctuating over the past 24 hours.
However, zooming out further, we see that the $BELG value is actually up 14.9% since Oct. 24, climbing from $0.047 to $0.054 – ignoring the brief spike to over $0.08 earlier in the week.
Belgium sit third in their group behind France and Italy, respectively. With six points already on the board (just one behind Italy), Belgium still have every chance to qualify, but will face difficult tests away to Turkey, and at home to Italy.
Keep an eye on the above tokens in the lead up to their November fixtures in the coming weeks.
