NFC Verification (Tag)
NFC Authentication for Football Shirts
Some shirts carry an NFC chip, embedded by the club or an authenticator during or just after a game. Holding a phone to the tag opens that shirt's record, and a chip bound to one shirt is much harder to copy than a paper certificate.
What is NFC authentication?
NFC (near-field communication) authentication binds a record to a physical chip in or on the shirt. When you hold a phone to the tag, it opens that shirt's own record, typically naming the player, the item and, for match shirts, the event.
How it works
A chip is attached: by the club or the authenticator, during or just after the game or signing.
It is linked to a record: the authenticator stores the details against that chip.
You tap to check: a phone opens the record, without an app in most cases.
What to check
The tag opens a record: and the record matches the shirt in front of you.
The issuer: the tag points to the authenticator's own site, not a copy.
The tag is intact: an undamaged chip, not loose or re-attached.
Keeping it with the shirt
Do not remove or cover the tag, and keep any accompanying card or certificate with the shirt.
