Leapmotor eyes Palmeiras sponsorship amid fierce rivalries | OneFootball

Leapmotor, a Chinese electric vehicle company, has shown interest in sponsoring Palmeiras after Fictor’s departure, as reported by NOSSO PALESTRA last Wednesday (11).

Palmeiras’ Visibility and Rival Competition

NP found that the brand, which recently entered the Brazilian market, is betting on the great visibility provided by Verdão due to its recent achievements in all categories to boost demand and sales of its vehicles in the country.

Furthermore, with BYD entering football by sponsoring Corinthians and expressing interest in acquiring the naming rights for Morumbi, Leapmotor believes it is necessary to enter this market to compete and secure its place in this rapidly growing sector in Brazil.

Presence in Football

Recently, the company entered South American football by sponsoring Universidad Católica of Chile, just months after starting operations in the country, and now seeks to replicate this with Verdão.
