NFTs have been proposed as a new form of revenue stream for the league in order to help it become more competitive financially with the country's professional leagues.
Clubs outside of the top four divisions in the country receive significantly less central funding from the Premier League in comparison to the 72 Football League clubs.
As a result, the National League are looking to increase their different sources of revenue and have an existing sponsorship deal with Vanarama until the 2024-25 season. This was signed in 2021 and is estimated to be worth in the region of £4m.
The National League managed to make its way through the pandemic, attracting an aggregate attendance of 2.5 million across its three divisions in 2021-22.
Six of the fifth tier's 24 clubs managed to boast average attendances of over 5,000 throughout last season. Those were Wrexham, Stockport County, Notts County, Chesterfield, Southend United and Grimsby Town.
