South Korea’s K-League Champion, Ulsan HD FC to Launch GenAI Football Agent and Join Theta Enterprise Validator Program

Theta is excited to announce a new partnership with Ulsan HD FC, one of South Korea’s most renowned football clubs and three-time consecutive K League 1 champion (2022–2024), to launch a generative AI agent on the club’s official website for its global fans.

As part of the collaboration, Ulsan HD FC will also join Theta Network’s Enterprise Validator Program, reinforcing innovation in both fan engagement and the security, governance and validation of Theta’s L1 blockchain. Theta Network is the premier native blockchain tailor-made for AI, media and entertainment, and counts Samsung, Sony, Google, Creative Artists Agency, Olympique de Marseille FC and other marquee Global 1000 enterprises as strategic validator partners. Ulsan HD FC is staking to the validator node at this address, alongside Olympique de Marseille FC.

Backed by HD Hyundai, the holding company of the HD Hyundai Group with over $50 billion USD in annual revenue and major subsidiaries such as Hyundai Heavy Industries, Hyundai Oilbank, and Hyundai Doosan Infracore, Ulsan HD FC combines its proud heritage with a forward-looking approach to digital innovation.

Following the successful chatbot integration with FC Seoul earlier this year, this new collaboration further expands Theta’s footprint in Korean football. Powered by Theta EdgeCloud’s decentralized GPU infrastructure, the service will provide Ulsan fans in South Korea and worldwide with real-time match information, player insights, historical data, ticketing, and stadium details in both Korean and English.

This partnership builds on Theta Network’s success in both traditional sports and esports across the globe. Theta EdgeCloud now powers AI fan experiences for top-tier teams across major leagues, and the platform counts over 50 global customers — including 4 of the top 5 universities in South Korea, Stanford University, Syracuse University, leading professional sports teams such as France Ligue 1’s Olympique de Marseille, the NBA’s Houston Rockets, the NHL’s Vegas Golden Knights, and global esports powerhouses like Cloud9 and Gen.G, among others.
