FLAMENGO HAS NEW NEGOTIATIONS WITH BETTING HOUSE - CHECK OUT

The current sponsorship agreement calls for PixBet to pay R$105 million in 2024 and R$115 million in 2025 , with the possibility of automatic renewal until 2027, when the annual amount would reach R$125 million . At the same time, FlaBet, the PixBet division authorized to use the club's brand , will also cease its activities, with expected payments of R$10 million in 2024, R$22.5 million in 2025, and R$25 million in 2026 and 2027.

SuperBet, the new bidder for the mastercard space, is negotiating a contract estimated at over R$600 million over the next three years. If signed, the deal would become the largest ever signed in Brazilian football, guaranteeing significant revenue for the Rio de Janeiro club.

PIXBET DEPARTURE AND SUPERBET ARRIVAL

The transition between sponsors is seen as a strategic opportunity to strengthen Flamengo 's financial health. The board intends to direct part of the resources toward strengthening the squad and investing in infrastructure, ensuring competitiveness in national and international competitions.

Even with negotiations at an advanced stage, the club remains cautious to maintain a good relationship with PixBet until the official termination of the contract. The goal is to complete the transition smoothly , ensuring a planned and safe transition.

PERSPECTIVES OF A HISTORIC CONTRACT

If finalized, the deal with SuperBet will not only represent the largest sponsorship contract in the country , but will also give Mengão a prominent position in the South American sports scene. The arrival of a new sponsor at this level should further boost investment potential, increasing the team's ability to retain star players and attract key reinforcements.

This Wednesday (13), Flamengo faces Internacional at Maracanã for the first duel of the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores. All tickets were sold in advance, and the expectation is an audience of over 65 thousand fans , creating another great party scenario for the red-black fans.

The nation's support will be crucial for Filipe Luís 's team to gain an advantage in the first leg ahead of the final scheduled for the 20th at Beira-Rio . It's worth noting that the team from Rio Grande do Sul has won four of their last six matches.
