DeFi Planet, the global Web3 media and intelligence platform, has agreed a new two-year sponsorship deal with Eagles & Stars FC for their U12 team, a lively and promising youth team competing in the South East London & Kent (SELKENT) Youth Football League, one of the UK’s most active grassroots leagues.
This partnership is a chance for DeFi Planet to support something that truly matters at the local level: children growing, learning, and enjoying football in a safe and encouraging environment.
Under the sponsorship, the team will receive financial support to help the kids continue to develop both on and off the field. For many of these young players, football is more than a sport; it’s a place to build confidence, make friends, and learn teamwork, discipline, and perseverance.
Where Youth Sports Meets the Future of Technology
Although DeFi Planet is best known for simplifying complex Web3 topics and covering the fast-moving world of crypto and decentralized finance, the organization believes strongly in supporting real-world initiatives that help young people thrive.
Olu Omoyele, Founder & CEO of DeFi Planet, had this to say about the collaboration:
“At DeFi Planet, we believe in amplifying not just technological innovation, but also stronger communities. Supporting grassroots sports gives us a chance to contribute to something truly meaningful, helping children grow, learn teamwork, and stay active in a positive environment. We chose Eagles & Stars FC because of its supportive environment, ambitious goals, and professional coaching capabilities.”
Leslie Thompson, Chairman and Head Coach of Eagles & Stars FC, had this to say about the collaboration:
“Eagles and Stars FC is delighted to welcome DeFi Planet as an official sponsor of the club. From the moment the club met Olu and welcomed him into the Eagles and Stars environment, it was clear that his values aligned closely with those of the club — a shared commitment to development, integrity, and forward-thinking.
DeFi Planet is a crypto media company operating at the forefront of digital innovation, making them an excellent partner for Eagles and Stars as the club continues to grow both on and off the pitch. We are proud to be working with a modern business that shares our vision and supports the long-term development of our players and community.”
For DeFi Planet, this sponsorship isn’t just about football; it’s about the future. Young people growing up today will inherit a world shaped by technology, digital money, and new ways of creating opportunity. By supporting grassroots sports, DeFi Planet hopes to encourage the same qualities that Web3 celebrates: curiosity, independence, creativity, and community-driven growth.
Just as youth football gives every child a chance to learn and belong, the crypto and Web3 space is built on openness and accessibility, making room for anyone who wants to learn, build, or participate.
A Small Step With a Big Message
With this partnership, DeFi Planet hopes more organizations (whether in tech or not) will see the value in investing in local communities and in the next generation.
Technology can shape the future, but so can the children who will one day lead it.
The sponsorship reflects DeFi Planet’s dedication to using its platform and resources to support positive change, not only through technology but also by helping young people grow into strong, confident members of their communities.
