BUENOS AIRES, Argentina, April 14, 2026 — Nexo, the premier digital assets wealth platform, today announced a partnership with the Argentine Football Association (AFA), becoming the Official Regional Digital Asset Partner of the Argentine National Football Team across South America ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Official partnership ceremony
The partnership was officially launched at a gala ceremony in Buenos Aires, where Nexo and AFA executives signed the agreement before invited guests, media, and partners. The event marks the formal beginning of the collaboration ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Leandro Petersen, Chief Commercial & Marketing Officer of the AFA, said: “We are excited to announce a new partnership with a strong global reach that aligns with the Argentine
Football Association’s international growth strategy, which we have been building in recent years through agreements with leading companies in innovation and technology. In this context, Nexo’s arrival as the Official Digital Assets Partner of the Argentine National Team reflects not only the growth of our brand globally but also the growing interest of international companies in partnering with Argentine soccer and one of the world’s most prominent national teams.
Success in elite sports, just as in business, is based on a clear strategy, discipline, and the ability to perform at the highest level when it matters most. Collaborating with partners who share this mindset allows us to continue expanding our ecosystem and create meaningful opportunities to connect our players, our brand, and millions of fans around the world.
Partnership activations
Nexo is starting a global ticket giveaway campaign for Argentina’s World Cup matches, open to new and existing clients. Signed squad shirts and co-created player content with Messi, Lautaro Martínez, Julián Álvarez, and Nico Paz will be distributed across the campaign window running from May through the end of the tournament. Nexo’s program will incorporate match-day experiences and squad merchandise, such as tier-linked rewards, connecting platform activity directly to the campaign.
Nexo is committed to global premium sport, serving as the Official Crypto Partner of the Australian Open and Summer of Tennis, the Official Digital Wealth Platform of the DP World Tour, and the Official Partner of the Audi Revolut Formula 1 Team.
Ahead of 2026 FIFA World Cup
The partnership adds a further dimension to Nexo’s U.S. relaunch.

Argentina arrives at the World Cup as reigning champions, competing across North American stadiums.
