Rain on the parade? Crefisa’s R$5m story isn’t what it seems

Vasco da Gama updated the situation regarding new sponsorships for Olympic sports. The scenario about the possible R$ 5 million funding from Crefisa, via Federal Law (Rouanet), is different from what was reported in the press this morning.

The situation of federal projects

The investigation by Podcast Cruzmaltino, together with journalists Rodrigo Silvério and Matheus Giuberti, confirmed the information with the board. Crefisa did indeed allocate funds to projects via the Rouanet Law, but Vasco would not be the recipient of this amount.

The reason is that the club currently does not have federal projects approved for that amount. The only active federal project of the Gigante da Colina is the Paralympic one, which is approved for about R$ 1.6 million, well below the speculated R$ 5 million.

Good news for Vasco: Another partner

Despite the correction about Crefisa, the good news for basketball (which is struggling with a 0-8 in the NBB) remains. Vasco confirmed that a partnership with another company, in the capitalization sector, is finalized.

This partner (which is not Crefisa) will contribute money to futsal and basketball. The official announcement of this new partnership is expected to happen later this week. This money will be used to seek the necessary reinforcements in the NBB.
