Bitcoin Cash (BCH), the only true bitcoin and the world’s only functional cryptocurrency, gets a fitting introduction to football fans in the Scottish Championship after Ayr United repelled the gutsy Greenock Morton during its debut match at Somerset Park over the weekend.

Ayr United found itself trailing behind Morton in the first half after midfielder Michael Tidser drew first blood with a goal at the 14-minute mark. Ayr United leaned on forward Lawrence Shankland in the second half whose hat trick sealed a come-from-behind win for the team.

In April, Ayr United and CoinGeek.com signed a deal that let the cryptocurrency news website take over the shirt branding of the football club. This is considered to be a historic event as it’s the league’s first shirt sponsorship deal paid in Bitcoin BCH—the first public blockchain to sponsor a sporting club.

Ayr United’s Commercial Director Graeme Miller said accepting sponsorship payment in BCH, as well as promoting the crypto, was initially a big learning curve for the whole team. Nevertheless, Miller said they were very happy to be the first club to promote Bitcoin Cash to a wider audience.
