“We are very proud to announce our partnership with Betfair, one of the world's leading companies in the sports betting industry. This agreement will allow our women's team to continue growing and winning titles. Palmeiras is a sports company and we are always looking for alternatives to strengthen the different modalities of the club, ensuring that all of them are self-sufficient,” stated Leila Pereira, president of Palmeiras.
The agreement, which is among the largest in the country in terms of women's football in Brazil, comprises an unprecedented and pioneering delivery of digital items on all the club's platforms, promoting more entertainment to fans over 18 years of age through sports betting, whether they are in the stadium or at home.
To kick off the partnership and prove that ‘Every Result is Possible’, Betfair brought five-time champion Rivaldo, international brand ambassador and great idol in the club's history, to Brazil to join Palmeiras again. Brazilian champion in 1994 and São Paulo in 1996, Rivaldo aroused the curiosity of fans by participating in a video with President Leila Pereira, posted on the club's social networks, generating interest among Brazilian fans and anticipating the celebration of the partnership.
Kimberley Daly, Marketing Director at Betfair, said: “We are delighted to be partnering with Palmeiras. Alongside the club, Betfair's role is to help create opportunities and invest in women in the sport, as well as continue investing in the laudable project of the men's team with its recent achievements that brought joy to the ‘alviverde’ fan. Last but not least, Betfair puts fans of the sport at the top of everything we do and this is very much in line with the values of the Palmeiras Family. We are very excited to be part of the Alviverde Family as well.”
In order to translate the shared values into a single message for the fans, Betfair and Palmeiras launched a manifesto on social networks, celebrating the possibilities that football opens up to all those who allow themselves to be conquered by the passion of the sport. The world of emotions where every result is possible. The text of the manifesto states:
Possibilities. The word that defines a football field.
A word that carries much more than its meaning.
A word that moves. Lives.
That starts in training, tireless.
That brings together strangers into one team.
Who is always after the result, without ever giving up.
Who bets in every moment, carried by faith.
Which turns victory into something much bigger: Legacy.
The legacy of heroes.
The legacy of the Greatest Champion of Brazil.
The legacy of winning the Libertadores – three times.
3 times! Lifting the cup twice in the same year!
What are the chances of this happening? The possibilities?!
And back to the magic word: Possibilities.
It's what makes us play with race.
That's what makes us one family: the Palmeiras Family!
Men, women, a single team...
Born to imagine, have faith and make it happen.
Always looking for every chance, for every opportunity.
To show why we are born winners.
And that the countryside is our destiny.
And it is in the field that every result is possible.
Over the two years of partnership with Palmeiras, Betfair will carry out a series of initiatives to bring information and emotion to Palmeiras fans, including unique experiences on the field and opportunities to achieve the best results in betting.
