FC Porto case study
Porto FC use NFC wallet tickets for swift and secure member experiences
FC Porto, one of the top ranked men’s football clubs in the world, became the first in Portugal to adopt NFC mobile wallet technology for digital membership cards across their entire facilities infrastructure. In doing so, FC Porto join other leading European clubs in the move to Apple Wallet and Google Wallet NFC tickets. The reliability, speed and simplicity of using NFC wallet tickets, which work even without a mobile network connection, makes stadium access much more convenient for members and increases entry gate throughput.
FC Porto has deployed VTAP NFC wallet readers throughout the Estádio do Dragão and other club venues. NFC wallet membership ID’s can be updated interactively, allowing the same digital membership cards to be used for many purposes in addition to access control. The inherent security features of NFC wallet tickets also gives FC Porto control over the transferability of tickets, preventing any abuse of member privileges and protecting their community of club members.
