The brand plans “activation activities that include the awarding of the Betano star trophy to the best player in the match, monthly awards for players and goalkeepers and the creation of Betano House, an immersive experience similar to the American basketball model.”

In addition to the aforementioned initiatives, the company plans activation activities in stadiums and in the digital environment, providing unique and engaging interactions for the public.

Although there are currently no concrete plans to sponsor other sports, “Betano is constantly looking for interesting opportunities and seeks to understand the context and benefits of each partnership.”

Despite the end of the partnership with Fluminense, Betano is committed to following its sponsorship strategy and continuing to explore ways to engage with the Brazilian public in a meaningful way.
