Futsal joins the Brazilian Integrity Association

The LNF (National Futsal League) announced this Tuesday (21) its union with the Brazilian Integrity Association (Abradie), a non-profit organization created to protect the integrity of Brazilian sport. The main futsal competition in the country joins the National Basketball League as the first two Brazilian sports entities to be part of the association.

Bringing together the main entities of sport, the betting industry, legislators, athletes and representatives of the sports industry, the main objective of the Brazilian Integrity Association (Abradie) is to protect against the threat of match-fixing at sporting events and betting-related corruption.

The LNF will contribute its expertise and experience to support consultations on current integrity measures related to sports betting. The aim is to ensure that the measures are robust and also allow the League to carry out educational activities with its athletes, referees and all people involved with the sport.

“The LNF is honored to participate in this important moment for national sport and, we are sure, that Abradie will be of fundamental importance for the construction of a positive path to combat match-fixing and corruption in sport,” said the executive director from LNF, Norberto Mello.

“We understand that this is the moment to show the strength and seriousness of the institutions that manage and promote sport in our country, count on us on this journey,” he added.

The National Futsal and Basketball Leagues join the founding members of Abradie: Genius Sports, Entain, Rei Do Pitaco, Bichara e Motta and Maia Yoshiyasu Advogados (FYMSA).
