Flamengo reject Corinthians partnership in new sponsor talks, says journalist | OneFootball

What happened behind the scenes between Flamengo and Corinthians?

Betano is the newest main sponsor of Flamengo. Given the millions that the company will pay to the Rubro-Negro, Corinthians tried to get in on the deal, but Mengão refused a partnership with the São Paulo team.

According to information released by journalist Pedro Ramiro, Corinthians does not rule out changing its current main sponsor, as it wants to receive more. Thus, the São Paulo team even talked to Betano before the company ‘sealed the deal’ with Flamengo.

At the time, Corinthians even considered a ‘joint partnership’ with Flamengo, which would include incentive targets for both clubs. However, right from the start, the Rubro-Negro made it clear that it would not agree to this type of deal.

HOW DOES THE BETANO PARTNERSHIP WITH FLAMENGO WORK?

Betano signed a partnership to be the main sponsor of Flamengo until the end of 2028. The contract states that the company will pay R$ 268 million per season, with the majority going to football and the remainder to Olympic sports, as well as the club’s official channel.

WHEN DID THE PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN FLAMENGO AND BETANO BEGIN?

The ‘deal was sealed’ in mid-August, but Betano only had its name displayed in the center of the Sacred Mantle last Sunday (31), when Flamengo ended up drawing 1-1 with Grêmio at Maracanã.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO’S NEXT MATCH?

With Betano as the new main sponsor, Flamengo, due to the FIFA break, will only return to the field on September 14 (Sunday) to face Juventude, for the 23rd round of the Brasileirão. The match kicks off at 4pm (Brasília time), at Estádio Alfredo Jaconi, in Caxias do Sul. Coluna do Fla TV, as usual, will cover the details of the match on its website, social media, and YouTube.
