Key Findings from the Study

Advertising Ban Could Reverse the Trend

In May 2025, the Brazilian Senate's Sports Commission approved a proposal to ban all advertising from betting companies, including sponsorships on team jerseys, stadium signage, and influencer campaigns. The news sparked concern among clubs, with 31 professional teams signing a joint statement warning that such a ban could lead to a "financial collapse" in football.

What's at Stake Goes Far Beyond Jersey Logos

The study clearly shows: sponsorship contracts with betting companies already move over BRL 1 billion, just among Série A clubs. Flamengo, Corinthians, and Palmeiras lead in figures, but nearly every top-tier club relies on these companies for direct financial support.

Eduardo Sena, Betting Specialist at BDA Brasil, warns:
"The data shows betting companies are now part of the football engine in Brazil. Banning this type of sponsorship without offering a viable alternative is like cutting off the oxygen for many clubs. The impact goes beyond the field — any solution must be well thought out so that clubs can restructure for the long term."

With regulations in effect, million-dollar contracts signed, and betting brands present everywhere — from jerseys to TV commercials — the discussion around limits and responsibilities must happen. But it also needs to consider the economic weight and structural role the sector now plays in Brazilian sports in 2025.
