It's official now! Betano is the new main sponsor of Flamengo. At a meeting of the Deliberative Council held on Tuesday (19), the rubro-negros accepted the terms presented and gave the 'ok' for the betting house to display its logo on the prime space of the Sacred Mantle until the end of 2028. The company will pay R$ 268.5 million per year, with no additional performance bonuses. There were 654 votes in favor, against 11 unfavorable, plus four abstentions.

The Betano betting house will be on the front of the men's and women's football and basketball shirts. In addition, it will have space on the Volleyball Mantle and will have actions on FlamengoTV and digital media.

HOW WAS THE COMPETITION PROCESS?

Pixbet, the former main sponsor of Flamengo and which invested R$ 125 million per year, began to delay payment in May of this year. At this point, the club signaled to the market that it was looking for a new partner. Thus, seven betting houses showed interest in investing in Mengão.

Betano, Superbet and Sportingbet emerged with the best proposals and, until the 'last minutes', everyone was still alive in the dispute. On Wednesday (13), Flamengo opted for Betano and, on Monday (18), announced the deal with the company. With the agreement, the Most Loved now has the largest sponsorship in Brazil.

LARGEST SPONSORSHIP IN BRAZIL; AND THE WORLD?

With the agreement with Betano, Flamengo has further extended its lead over Corinthians with the largest sponsor in the country. The Paulistas receive R$ 103 million from Esportes da Sorte. Compared to the European scenario, Mengão is ninth. For curiosity, Mengão is above all Italians and Portuguese, for example.

The agreement, considered the largest in Brazilian football, will begin on August 20, 2025 and will continue until December 31, 2028, guaranteeing the club R$ 268 million per year”. “The partnership, at a level comparable to the major European clubs, contemplates different remuneration formats and opens space for the development of new business opportunities for Flamengo”. “The Betano brand will be displayed on the uniforms of professional football and Olympic sports teams — such as volleyball, basketball and women's football —, in addition to having a presence on FlamengoTV”. “Tomorrow (August 20), at 8:30 am, Flamengo's president, Luiz Eduardo Baptista (Bap), will participate in a live broadcast on FlamengoTV, alongside Guilherme Augusto Figueiredo, General Director Betano Brazil, in a conversation with João Guilherme about the new partnership”.
