Dutch professional football club AZ has formed an exclusive partnership with a regulated cryptocurrency exchange platform, Bitcoin Meester.

Professional football club AZ Alkmaar (also known as just AZ) and Bitcoin Meester independently announced Thursday their official and “exclusive partnership.”
