Vasco and Betfair yet to agree new deal | OneFootball

The renewal of the contract between Vasco da Gama and Betfair, the club’s current main sponsor, remains uncertain just over a month before the agreement expires. Signed in May 2024, the deal secured 45 million reais in the first year and projected to reach 70 million in 2025. The contract expires in December and there is a possibility of renewal for two more seasons, but so far neither party has indicated any progress in negotiations.

In a statement sent to Jogada10, Betfair said it is awaiting an official position from Vasco and emphasized that it constantly reassesses its portfolio of sports assets to maintain strategic alignment and strengthen its connection with fans and consumers across the country. The company added that it continues to fully comply with all current agreements, respecting established contracts and the Brazilian football calendar. The club was contacted but did not respond by the time this article was published.

Meanwhile, the Advisory Council responsible for the renovation of São Januário met last Tuesday at the Lagoa Nautical Headquarters to discuss possible structural interventions and improvements to mobility around the stadium. One of the proposals under consideration is the extension of the VLT line to the new stadium after the works, a measure seen as essential to facilitate fan access and the flow of people after matches.

The Rio de Janeiro city hall is already working on a plan to take the VLT to São Cristóvão, with a station projected to be about 900 meters to 1 kilometer from São Januário. The Council, which includes the municipal secretary of Sports, Guilherme Schleder, intends to move forward with a proposal to bring the line even closer to the stadium, keeping pace with the modernization process and seeking significant improvements in crowd flow and urban mobility in the area.
