The auction of the autographed shirts of the Befair ambassadors will be held on the Matchwornshirt.com platform, a global leader specialized in auctions of football jerseys used and autographed by players with the aim of raising funds for charitable institutions through the sale and distribution of memorabilia.
And for football fans and fans of the five-time world champion team, it won't just be an opportunity to acquire a unique piece of sports memorabilia, but also to practice an act of solidarity with a higher purpose. It will directly impact the families assisted by the social project ‘Esporte Futuro’, conceived by Betfair and executed in partnership with GlobalGiving, a non-profit organization that connects organizations to donors and companies.
Three shirts from the Brazilian National Team signed by the 2002 world champions, Rivaldo and Ronaldo, will be auctioned, as well as other two from Cruzeiro autographed by Ronaldo Nazário, the club's manager and former player of the club between 1993 and 1994.
In addition to the amount raised in the auction, Betfair will also make a donation of R$ 30,000 (US$ 6,000) to the NGOs, representing 10 reais for each of the 3,000 lives impacted in this first year of ‘Esporte Futuro’.
The ‘Esporte Futuro’ project currently supports five organizations: Gol de Letra Foundation, Oswaldo Ribeiro de Mendonça Institute, Association for Support to Children at Risk (ACER-Brasil), Rise-Up International Inc, and Jorginho Sports and Educational Center — Bola Pra Frente.
As part of the company's commitment to act more for the communities of the countries where it operates, Betfair's ‘Esporte Futuro’ has already distributed over R$ 650,000 (US$ 130,000) to sports-related NGOs in Brazil in this first year of operation.
Its main goal in improving local communities throughout Brazil by enhancing people's lives through the power of sports, generating a positive effect amidst grassroots sports, stimulating imagination, getting bodies active, and expanding minds integrated into sports.

‘Esporte Futuro’ was created in 2023 and is a non-profit charity project in partnership between Betfair and GlobalGiving. Aiming to improve local communities throughout Brazil, the project mainly focuses on helping associations working with sports, which Betfair believes can stimulate imagination, make bodies active, inflame passions, and expand minds.
In addition to supporting projects that improve health and well-being through sports, ‘Esporte Futuro’ hopes to increase support for projects that use technology for good. The project's goal is to become driven by the Brazilian Betfair community, with members regularly contributing insights that guide future decisions.
