England’s crypto club takes plunge into the unknown

FILE - Crawley Town's players warm up before the English FA Cup third round soccer match between Crawley Town and Leeds United at Broadfield Stadium in Crawley, England, Sunday, Jan. 10, 2021. An American consortium has bought Crawley Town with the ultimate aim of winning the Premier League title. The unheralded fourth-division club located south of London has been bought by a group of investors pledging to “shake up the status quo” by using the world of cryptocurrency and so-called “Web 3” technology to fuel the rise of a sports team. It’s a plunge into the unknown for Crawley and perhaps a sign of what's to come in soccer worldwide.(AP Photo/Ian Walton, File)
