When fans move from the stands to the pitch; Why Arena Two’s partnership with Club América signals a shift in sports economics

Professional sport has always run on a quiet agreement: clubs compete, leagues set the rules, fans pay and watch. Supporters shape identity and culture in every meaningful sense – then the whistle blows, and their role becomes symbolic.

That agreement is being renegotiated – slowly, unevenly, and mostly by people who are more interested in extracting value from fans than giving any back. Most of what the sports-crypto sector has produced so far falls into two categories: passive fan tokens that grant symbolic voting rights, or NFT collections that spike during a team’s run and collapse afterward. Neither changes the relationship between a fan and the sport in any meaningful way.

This is why the model Arena Two is building is worth examining more carefully.

What “doing more” actually looks like

The mechanics should be examined in more detail, because vague talk of “fan engagement” has become almost meaningless in this space. Arena Two’s structure, as stated by CEO Omar Rahim in one of his interviews, operates across three distinct modes.

The first is voting. During live events, fans can cast real-time votes that directly alter the rules of play – remove the opposition goalkeeper, or activate a Power Play where all goals count double. This puts them directly into the driving seat.

The second is staking. Fans can stake tokens against their preferred team, functioning as a kind of co-ownership stake. The more you commit, the more agency you gain over key in-game decisions. This creates an alignment between personal investment and collective outcome that traditional fan tokens have never really achieved.

The third is earning. Participants are rewarded for growing the ecosystem – bonuses paid out for helping expand the Arena Two platform. Therefore, loyalty acquires a financial dimension.

The company’s partnership with Club América, announced earlier this year, is the first live test of the model. Club América is the only professional team in Season 1, despite reported interest from clubs in Europe’s major leagues. Getting the fundamentals right with one serious partner matters more than scaling prematurely.

The choice of Club América is deliberate on multiple levels. Its fanbase of more than 44 million across Mexico, combined with 28 million social media followers – surpassing every NFL and MLB franchise – makes it one of the most digitally engaged clubs in the world. It’s the only Liga MX side to consistently rank among the 30 most-followed football clubs globally.

But the logic goes beyond the club itself. Latin America combines strong football culture with measurable digital asset adoption in a way that few regions do. According to Chainalysis, the region processed nearly $415 billion in cryptocurrency between mid-2023 and mid-2024 – around 9.1% of global activity. In 2025, it posted a year-on-year growth rate of 63%, making it the second-fastest growing crypto market in the world. In Argentina, where inflation has consistently eroded confidence in the peso, stablecoins account for 61.8% of crypto transaction volume. In Brazil, the figure stands at 59.8%. These are people using digital assets as functional financial instruments, not speculative bets.

The convergence of high football passion and high crypto adoption is not coincidental. Both emerge, to some extent, from the same cultural conditions: a desire for community, a search for agency, and some skepticism toward traditional institutions.

The Asia angle

Asia presents a different but equally relevant dynamic. Southeast Asia has an enormous sports fanbase – football viewership in countries like Indonesia, Thailand, and Vietnam rivals anything in Europe – but relatively few major international events reach those markets. At the same time, high digital asset usage in countries such as Vietnam and the Philippines makes the audience naturally receptive.

Arena Two has physical events planned across Latin America, Europe and Asia through 2026 – the intention is to observe where engagement proves strongest and how cultural context shapes participation patterns.

The broader picture

Total crypto sponsorship spending in sports reached $565 million in the 2024/25 season – a 20% year-on-year increase, with football accounting for 59% of all new sponsorship deals. The capital is clearly flowing in. What’s lagging behind is the utility on offer to the fan sitting in the stadium or watching from the other side of the world at 2 am.

That gap is what makes the Arena Two model worth watching. It’s a controlled test of participatory sports economics – an attempt to examine whether governance, entertainment and financial alignment can coexist within a live competitive format without undermining trust. Good products in the sports-crypto space have been rare. That is the gap Arena Two is designed to fill.

The variables are real: a massive and engaged fanbase, a region with demonstrated crypto adoption, a product that changes rules in real time. Either it resonates, or it doesn’t. The feedback will be visible quickly.

Summarize Any Stock’s Earnings Call in Seconds Using FMP API

Summarize Any Stock’s Earnings Call in Seconds Using FMP API

Turn lengthy earnings call transcripts into one-page insights using the Financial Modeling Prep APIPhoto by Bich Tran Earnings calls are packed with insights. They tell you how a company performed, what management expects in the future, and what analysts are worried about. The challenge is that these transcripts often stretch across dozens of pages, making it tough to separate the key takeaways from the noise. With the right tools, you don’t need to spend hours reading every line. By combining the Financial Modeling Prep (FMP) API with Groq’s lightning-fast LLMs, you can transform any earnings call into a concise summary in seconds. The FMP API provides reliable access to complete transcripts, while Groq handles the heavy lifting of distilling them into clear, actionable highlights. In this article, we’ll build a Python workflow that brings these two together. You’ll see how to fetch transcripts for any stock, prepare the text, and instantly generate a one-page summary. Whether you’re tracking Apple, NVIDIA, or your favorite growth stock, the process works the same — fast, accurate, and ready whenever you are. Fetching Earnings Transcripts with FMP API The first step is to pull the raw transcript data. FMP makes this simple with dedicated endpoints for earnings calls. If you want the latest transcripts across the market, you can use the stable endpoint /stable/earning-call-transcript-latest. For a specific stock, the v3 endpoint lets you request transcripts by symbol, quarter, and year using the pattern: https://financialmodelingprep.com/api/v3/earning_call_transcript/{symbol}?quarter={q}&year={y}&apikey=YOUR_API_KEY here’s how you can fetch NVIDIA’s transcript for a given quarter: import requestsAPI_KEY = "your_api_key"symbol = "NVDA"quarter = 2year = 2024url = f"https://financialmodelingprep.com/api/v3/earning_call_transcript/{symbol}?quarter={quarter}&year={year}&apikey={API_KEY}"response = requests.get(url)data = response.json()# Inspect the keysprint(data.keys())# Access transcript contentif "content" in data[0]: transcript_text = data[0]["content"] print(transcript_text[:500]) # preview first 500 characters The response typically includes details like the company symbol, quarter, year, and the full transcript text. If you aren’t sure which quarter to query, the “latest transcripts” endpoint is the quickest way to always stay up to date. Cleaning and Preparing Transcript Data Raw transcripts from the API often include long paragraphs, speaker tags, and formatting artifacts. Before sending them to an LLM, it helps to organize the text into a cleaner structure. Most transcripts follow a pattern: prepared remarks from executives first, followed by a Q&A session with analysts. Separating these sections gives better control when prompting the model. In Python, you can parse the transcript and strip out unnecessary characters. A simple way is to split by markers such as “Operator” or “Question-and-Answer.” Once separated, you can create two blocks — Prepared Remarks and Q&A — that will later be summarized independently. This ensures the model handles each section within context and avoids missing important details. Here’s a small example of how you might start preparing the data: import re# Example: using the transcript_text we fetched earliertext = transcript_text# Remove extra spaces and line breaksclean_text = re.sub(r'\s+', ' ', text).strip()# Split sections (this is a heuristic; real-world transcripts vary slightly)if "Question-and-Answer" in clean_text: prepared, qna = clean_text.split("Question-and-Answer", 1)else: prepared, qna = clean_text, ""print("Prepared Remarks Preview:\n", prepared[:500])print("\nQ&A Preview:\n", qna[:500]) With the transcript cleaned and divided, you’re ready to feed it into Groq’s LLM. Chunking may be necessary if the text is very long. A good approach is to break it into segments of a few thousand tokens, summarize each part, and then merge the summaries in a final pass. Summarizing with Groq LLM Now that the transcript is clean and split into Prepared Remarks and Q&A, we’ll use Groq to generate a crisp one-pager. The idea is simple: summarize each section separately (for focus and accuracy), then synthesize a final brief. Prompt design (concise and factual) Use a short, repeatable template that pushes for neutral, investor-ready language: You are an equity research analyst. Summarize the following earnings call sectionfor {symbol} ({quarter} {year}). Be factual and concise.Return:1) TL;DR (3–5 bullets)2) Results vs. guidance (what improved/worsened)3) Forward outlook (specific statements)4) Risks / watch-outs5) Q&A takeaways (if present)Text:<<<{section_text}>>> Python: calling Groq and getting a clean summary Groq provides an OpenAI-compatible API. Set your GROQ_API_KEY and pick a fast, high-quality model (e.g., a Llama-3.1 70B variant). We’ll write a helper to summarize any text block, then run it for both sections and merge. import osimport textwrapimport requestsGROQ_API_KEY = os.environ.get("GROQ_API_KEY") or "your_groq_api_key"GROQ_BASE_URL = "https://api.groq.com/openai/v1" # OpenAI-compatibleMODEL = "llama-3.1-70b" # choose your preferred Groq modeldef call_groq(prompt, temperature=0.2, max_tokens=1200): url = f"{GROQ_BASE_URL}/chat/completions" headers = { "Authorization": f"Bearer {GROQ_API_KEY}", "Content-Type": "application/json", } payload = { "model": MODEL, "messages": [ {"role": "system", "content": "You are a precise, neutral equity research analyst."}, {"role": "user", "content": prompt}, ], "temperature": temperature, "max_tokens": max_tokens, } r = requests.post(url, headers=headers, json=payload, timeout=60) r.raise_for_status() return r.json()["choices"][0]["message"]["content"].strip()def build_prompt(section_text, symbol, quarter, year): template = """ You are an equity research analyst. Summarize the following earnings call section for {symbol} ({quarter} {year}). Be factual and concise. Return: 1) TL;DR (3–5 bullets) 2) Results vs. guidance (what improved/worsened) 3) Forward outlook (specific statements) 4) Risks / watch-outs 5) Q&A takeaways (if present) Text: <<< {section_text} >>> """ return textwrap.dedent(template).format( symbol=symbol, quarter=quarter, year=year, section_text=section_text )def summarize_section(section_text, symbol="NVDA", quarter="Q2", year="2024"): if not section_text or section_text.strip() == "": return "(No content found for this section.)" prompt = build_prompt(section_text, symbol, quarter, year) return call_groq(prompt)# Example usage with the cleaned splits from Section 3prepared_summary = summarize_section(prepared, symbol="NVDA", quarter="Q2", year="2024")qna_summary = summarize_section(qna, symbol="NVDA", quarter="Q2", year="2024")final_one_pager = f"""# {symbol} Earnings One-Pager — {quarter} {year}## Prepared Remarks — Key Points{prepared_summary}## Q&A Highlights{qna_summary}""".strip()print(final_one_pager[:1200]) # preview Tips that keep quality high: Keep temperature low (≈0.2) for factual tone. If a section is extremely long, chunk at ~5–8k tokens, summarize each chunk with the same prompt, then ask the model to merge chunk summaries into one section summary before producing the final one-pager. If you also fetched headline numbers (EPS/revenue, guidance) earlier, prepend them to the prompt as brief context to help the model anchor on the right outcomes. Building the End-to-End Pipeline At this point, we have all the building blocks: the FMP API to fetch transcripts, a cleaning step to structure the data, and Groq LLM to generate concise summaries. The final step is to connect everything into a single workflow that can take any ticker and return a one-page earnings call summary. The flow looks like this: Input a stock ticker (for example, NVDA). Use FMP to fetch the latest transcript. Clean and split the text into Prepared Remarks and Q&A. Send each section to Groq for summarization. Merge the outputs into a neatly formatted earnings one-pager. Here’s how it comes together in Python: def summarize_earnings_call(symbol, quarter, year, api_key, groq_key): # Step 1: Fetch transcript from FMP url = f"https://financialmodelingprep.com/api/v3/earning_call_transcript/{symbol}?quarter={quarter}&year={year}&apikey={api_key}" resp = requests.get(url) resp.raise_for_status() data = resp.json() if not data or "content" not in data[0]: return f"No transcript found for {symbol} {quarter} {year}" text = data[0]["content"] # Step 2: Clean and split clean_text = re.sub(r'\s+', ' ', text).strip() if "Question-and-Answer" in clean_text: prepared, qna = clean_text.split("Question-and-Answer", 1) else: prepared, qna = clean_text, "" # Step 3: Summarize with Groq prepared_summary = summarize_section(prepared, symbol, quarter, year) qna_summary = summarize_section(qna, symbol, quarter, year) # Step 4: Merge into final one-pager return f"""# {symbol} Earnings One-Pager — {quarter} {year}## Prepared Remarks{prepared_summary}## Q&A Highlights{qna_summary}""".strip()# Example runprint(summarize_earnings_call("NVDA", 2, 2024, API_KEY, GROQ_API_KEY)) With this setup, generating a summary becomes as simple as calling one function with a ticker and date. You can run it inside a notebook, integrate it into a research workflow, or even schedule it to trigger after each new earnings release. Free Stock Market API and Financial Statements API... Conclusion Earnings calls no longer need to feel overwhelming. With the Financial Modeling Prep API, you can instantly access any company’s transcript, and with Groq LLM, you can turn that raw text into a sharp, actionable summary in seconds. This pipeline saves hours of reading and ensures you never miss the key results, guidance, or risks hidden in lengthy remarks. Whether you track tech giants like NVIDIA or smaller growth stocks, the process is the same — fast, reliable, and powered by the flexibility of FMP’s data.
