During the workshop, the players participated in interactive activities and learned about real-life situations that highlight the risks and situations involved in match-fixing and the dangers of professional athletes engaging in sports betting. Sportradar investigated information based on its work in monitoring, detecting and investigating cases of match-fixing in sports competitions around the world.
Felippe Marchetti, Integrity Partnerships Manager for Sportradar in Brazil, said: “Fighting match-fixing is an ongoing effort that requires awareness from everyone involved in the sport.”
“Our goal is to equip players with the knowledge they need to consider and report any suspicious approaches, and it is an honor for Sportradar to host this seminar for Palmeiras, one of the most traditional and successful clubs in the country,” he added.
“We thank them for opening their doors to us and helping to build a safe environment for our football,” Marchetti concludes.
This workshop is part of a series of ongoing actions that Sportradar promotes around the world to protect the integrity of the sport. In Brazil, several federations and clubs have already received the training, including the Northeast Federations, the Minas Gerais Football Federation, Náutico, Sport and Vitória.
