Ronaldinho Gaúcho becomes ambassador of new 100% Brazilian fantasy football

Five-time world champion with the Brazilian National Team and twice elected the best player on the planet by FIFA, Ronaldinho Gaúcho is the new poster boy for Catimba Fantasy, a game being launched by Catimba Scores, a league in Brazil that last year distributed more than R$ 20 million (US$ 4.3m) in prizes. “I am very happy with this partnership with Catimba. I want to continue inspiring people and sharing my passion for football,” said Ronaldinho.

“Just as I used my ability to get good plays, goals, victories and titles, Catimba participants have to do the same to do well in their leagues. The secret is to be well informed about the teams, analyze the statistics, the moment of each player, and assemble the ideal team,” commented Ronaldinho.

The Brazilian idol will star in a marketing campaign and will lend his name to the Tropa do Catimba league, which will be launched in the coming weeks by the platform. The winner of the Catimba Annual League will receive their prizes - which even include a car - from the former player. In addition, from now on, several winners from the various Catimba leagues will also receive shirts and balls autographed by the “Witch” as a prize - as Gaucho became known for his skill and disconcerting dribbles.

Fully developed in Brazil, with 100% national technology, Catimba Fantasy will have among its differentials the possibility for participants to play in other leagues besides the Brazilian Championship, such as the Champions League, Libertadores and national championships in Europe. Another novelty is the offer of own statistics, through Catimba Stats.

At Catimba, each participant selects 11 players from the real teams, plus the coach and five reserves, and what happens in real matches (results and individual performance) is worth points in disputes between fantasy participants. The champion is the one who scores the most points, with cash prizes that can reach more than R$ 100,000 (US$ 21,500).

“It is a great pleasure and a dream come true for the entire Catimba team to have one of the greatest athletes of all time on our team. We are by far the league that awards the most, with around R$350,000 (US$ 75k) per round. In the last year we distributed more than R$20 million (US$ 4.3m) in prizes and we hope to grow even more with our fantasy. Tropa do Catimba comes in 2022 to plant its flag at the top of the great fantasy world games. Let’s go, Catimbeiros,” said Diego Marques, CEO of Catmba Scores and Catimba Fantasy.
