At the event, the 'Pantera' also presented its new number two uniform for the season.
Founded two years ago, HanzBet has the businessman from Ribeirão Preto Gabriel Martins as CEO. The other two owners are Matheus Oliveira and Eduardo Peres.
The sponsorship goes far beyond brand exposure on the club's shirt, field signs and back drops. The company intends to invest in other areas and also be close to the fans with constant actions.
“As a true Botafogo fan, it is with great pride that we announce the biggest sponsorship in Botafogo’s history. Since I was a child, I have experienced unforgettable moments at the stadium, cheering for the 'Pantera' with all my passion. Now, combining this personal story with that of HanzBet, a platform that was born in Ribeirão Preto and is now growing throughout Brazil, is a source of great happiness,” said Gabriel Martins during the event.
“This sponsorship marks a historic moment, both for Botafogo and for the betting market in Brazil, where HanzBet is one of the few companies authorized to operate. Our commitment goes beyond that: we support sports, culture and promote responsible gambling, always for those over 18 years of age,” added the executive.
Chairman of the Board of Directors of Botafogo Futebol SA, Adalberto Baptista also commented on the new master sponsor: “We are very happy with the arrival of HanzBet, a company that is genuinely from Ribeirão Preto and is now expanding throughout the country. HanzBet will bring many new features to Botafogo fans and I am convinced that this will be a very successful partnership.”
Botafogo-SP
Founded in 1918, Botafogo is one of the most traditional teams in the state of São Paulo. It currently plays in the Série B of the Campeonato Brasileirão and has been in the Série A of the Campeonato Paulista for 17 years, making it the longest-running club from the interior of the competition.
As a stanza of its anthem says, the 'Pantera' team has had players who have made history in Brazilian football, such as Sócrates and his brother Raí, as well as Zé Mário, the first player from an interior team to be called up directly to the Brazilian national team.
Since 2018, Tricolor has become a corporation. The following year, the Arena Nicnet was created, a space inside the Santa Cruz Stadium, which was completely renovated to house cultural attractions.
Since 2022, the venue has hosted major international concerts, such as Kiss, Iron Maiden, Guns N` Roses and Rod Stewart. The venue has also hosted the Cabaré Festival on two occasions, the Show Amigos and the Tardezinha.
