On December 6 in Qatar, the Round of 16 match at the 2022 World Cup between Spain and Morocco took place. Luis Enrique’s side lost the penalty shoot-out 0-3.
According to CoinGecko, SNFT fell by 48.1% over the last 24 hours. At the time of writing, the fan token remained above $0.048.
This is not the first time a fan token has reacted negatively to World Cup results. On November 18, the Argentina national team coin (ARG) traded above $9, and after Saudi Arabia’s defeat on November 22 it slumped more than 30%.
Argentina’s 3 December win over Australia did not bring ARG back to a meaningful rise. At the time of writing, the fan token stood just above $2.6.
Similarly, the Portugal national fan token (POR) behaved similarly. On December 6, the team crushed Switzerland 6-1, but POR fell 8.1% in the last 24 hours. For the week, the decline stood at 31.5%, according to CoinGecko.
