The hype around TopGoal’s NFT airdrop on CoinMarketCap made waves in 2022. Thousands rushed to join, hoping to grab a free NFT card of a football legend. But here’s the truth: that airdrop is over. And as of February 2026, there is no third event. No upcoming drop. No hidden portal. No secret countdown. If you’re searching for it right now, you’re chasing ghosts.

Let’s cut through the noise. TopGoal (GOAL) isn’t some dying project-it’s stuck. It had a solid idea: turn football fandom into a blockchain game. Partner with real players. Let fans collect NFT cards. Play matches with Messi, Ronaldo, or Neymar in a digital metaverse. Sounds cool, right? But ideas don’t pay bills. Real usage does. And right now, TopGoal isn’t being used. It’s being watched.

What Actually Happened in the 2022 Airdrop?

The last real TopGoal x CoinMarketCap NFT event happened between October 7 and November 6, 2022. It wasn’t a surprise. It was a carefully planned campaign. CoinMarketCap, one of the most trusted crypto data platforms, hosted it. That gave TopGoal instant credibility. People trusted it because CoinMarketCap was behind it.

Here’s how it worked:

• You had to follow TopGoal’s official Twitter, Telegram, Instagram, Facebook, and Medium accounts.
• You had to add both GOAL and TMT tokens to your CoinMarketCap watchlist.
• You had to fill out a Google Form linking your TopGoal wallet to your social profiles.
• You had to follow TopGoal’s profile on CoinMarketCap’s Gravity platform.

That’s five steps. Five places you had to engage. Not one click. Not a quick retweet. You had to prove you were serious. And 10,000 people did. Each got one NFT. No more. No less. Total value? Around $30,000 spread out. That’s $3 per NFT on average. Not life-changing money. But enough to get people hooked.

Why did they do this? Simple: to grow. TopGoal needed users. They needed people talking about their football metaverse. Airdrops aren’t gifts. They’re marketing. And it worked. For a while.

Why There’s No Third Airdrop

There hasn’t been a second airdrop since. And there won’t be a third. Not because TopGoal disappeared. But because they ran out of steam.

Look at the numbers today:

• GOAL token price: $0.002549
• 24-hour trading volume: $19,719
• Market cap: $1.36 million
• Token holders: 30,130
• CoinMarketCap ranking: #2095

That’s not a project on the rise. That’s a project barely breathing. A trading volume of $20k against a $1.36M market cap? That’s a liquidity crisis. It means almost nobody is buying or selling. The token is stuck. People who got the NFTs in 2022 either forgot about them, sold them for pocket change, or are holding onto hope.

And CoinMarketCap? They stopped listing TopGoal as an active airdrop months ago. Their current airdrop page shows zero upcoming events. Not one. Not even a whisper. If CoinMarketCap won’t promote it anymore, why would anyone else?

What TopGoal Actually Offers Today

TopGoal isn’t dead. But it’s not alive either. It’s in limbo.

The project still has a football metaverse. You can still buy GOAL tokens. You can still link your wallet. You can still see the NFT collections-cards of real players, licensed and verified. But can you play? Can you compete? Can you earn? The answer is unclear. There are no public stats on active players. No updates on game features. No roadmap changes since 2023.

Compare that to projects like Sorare or NBA Top Shot. They didn’t just do airdrops. They built real games. People still play them. TopGoal never got past the “look at this cool NFT” phase.

That’s the problem. You can’t build a metaverse on hype alone. You need players. You need matches. You need rewards that mean something beyond a token price. TopGoal never made that leap.

Why You Shouldn’t Wait for a New Airdrop

Scammers know people are still looking. You’ll find fake Telegram groups promising “TopGoal 3rd Airdrop.” You’ll see YouTube videos with countdowns. You’ll get DMs saying “claim your free NFT now.”

None of it’s real.

Here’s how to protect yourself:

• Never connect your wallet to a site you didn’t find on TopGoal’s official Twitter or Telegram.
• Never pay a fee to “unlock” your airdrop. Legit airdrops don’t ask for money.
• Check CoinMarketCap’s official airdrop page. If it’s not there, it’s not happening.
• If a project hasn’t updated its website or social media in 6 months, it’s not coming back.

TopGoal’s last real move was in 2022. Everything after that is noise.

What You Can Do Now

If you still hold a TopGoal NFT from 2022, you’re not alone. But you’re also not winning. The token’s value is near its lowest point. The community is quiet. The game isn’t live.

Here’s what actually makes sense:

• Check your wallet. If you have an NFT, keep it. It’s a collector’s item now.
• Follow TopGoal’s official Twitter (@TopGoal_NFT) and Telegram (@topgoalnft). If they ever launch something real, that’s where you’ll hear it first.
• Don’t buy GOAL tokens hoping for a rebound. The market cap is too small. The volume is too low. It’s not a bet. It’s a gamble.
• Look elsewhere. There are dozens of football NFT projects with active games and real user bases. TopGoal isn’t one of them anymore.

The truth? TopGoal had a good start. But it didn’t finish. It didn’t build. It didn’t adapt. It just waited for the next airdrop to save it. And when that didn’t come, it faded.

The football metaverse isn’t dead. But TopGoal is. And no amount of hoping will bring it back.
