In the state’s Legislative Assembly (Alepe)

Sport represents Pernambuco clubs at meeting on betting regularization

The Legislative Assembly of Pernambuco (Alepe) held a meeting on a study carried out by the Pernambuco Federation of Football (FPF) that assesses the regulation of sports betting in the state as a new resource for investment in social projects. The president of the FPF, Evandro Carvalho, and the president of Sport, Pedro Leonardo Lacerda, represented the local clubs at the meeting with the president of the House, deputy Eriberto Medeiros, and the VP of the Sports Commission, deputy Antônio Fernando.

The study proposes an investment model in which part of the amount collected from taxes from online betting in Pernambuco is reverted to the State in social projects, with incentives and actions promoted by the FPF together with clubs from Pernambuco.

“For me, it was a great satisfaction to participate in this important moment for our football and represent not only the entire ‘Rubro-Negra Nation’, but also the clubs of Pernambuco,” commented Pedro Leonardo Lacerda.

"The project presented, as well as the study made by Evandro and the FPF team, is very good and seeks to bring more investment and development to our sport and to the state of Pernambuco,” added Lacerda.

The project should have one more stage to deal with Governor Paulo Câmara and other important actors for its regulation within sixty days.
