After incident with Danish Eriksen at Euro 2020

Betano donates 150 defibrillators for Greek stadiums, also plans to do it in Brazil

The unfortunate incident with Danish football player Eriksen at the beginning of the Euro brought to the surface the need for the importance of Automated External defibrillators (AED) in all places that people practice sports. So Betano acted fast and proceeded with the donation of 150 AEDs to the Greek Ministry of Health that will be placed in stadiums. GMB learned that the European sportsbook, sponsor of Fluminense and Atletico Mineiro, plans to make a similar donation in Brazil.

AEDs will be placed open spaces, and other mass gathering areas across Greece to save lives in the critical first minutes of a similar to Eriksen`s unfortunate events.

A company source revealed to GMB that they plan to replicate this initiative for stadiums in Brazil, a country where the brand has made a strong landing with important sponsorships and other actions. Betano's concept is that this type of event can occur in any match, not only in the Eurocup, which is why last generation AEDs are more than necessary to avoid tragedies such as Erikson's if he was not helped with that type of device.

Over the past years, we have been implementing a remarkable program having "heroes" at the heart of it.

During the pandemic, Stoixman/Betano supported National Healthcare Systems in all countries they operate by providing protective equipment, donating mobile Intensive Care Units supporting the heroes of our time, doctors and medical staff.
