Flamengo and Betano made history in Brazilian football after signing the biggest main sponsorship contract in Brazil. Amid the agreement, rumors emerged that the red-and-black board would sign a world football star with the company's help. The betting house director, Guilherme Figueiredo, denied the ‘investment’ and emphasized Mengão’s autonomy.
— Betano fully respects Flamengo’s autonomy in its sporting and administrative decisions. We trust the club’s board to manage resources in the best way and strengthen the teams in all sports. Our role is to be a partner that supports and enables Flamengo’s success, but always respecting the limits of our institutional role," said Guilherme, in an interview with ‘Mundo Bola Flamengo’.
The partnership between Flamengo and Betano was responsible for establishing the biggest main sponsorship contract in the history of Brazilian football. The agreement guarantees R$ 268.5 million per year, plus bonuses for performance, conversions, and sales. In addition, the total value can approach R$ 1 billion with the variables.
Meanwhile, Flamengo continues its preparations for the next fixture of the season. Furthermore, the Most Beloved returns to the field next Sunday (14th) to face Juventude, at 4pm (Brasília time), at Alfredo Jaconi, for the 23rd round of the Brasileirão.
