“It is with immense pride that we announce that Villa Nova Atlético Clube will now print another star on its white mantle. We are officially partners of Leão do Bonfim”, stated in the statement from EstrelaBet on social networks, which added “Pentacampeão Minas Gerais and the first team from the interior of the state to win a national football division”.
Villa Nova has one of the main fans in the interior of Minas Gerais. The team’s list of sporting achievements includes a Brazilian Series B title, five State Championship conquests, four Minas Gerais Interior Championships and two Minas Gerais Cups.

Partnership with Villa Nova is EstrelaBet’s first partnership with a football club
In addition, the agreement with the Minas Gerais club is the bookmaker’s first association with a football team. “We do this because we believe in the Leão project, and it is our first partnership with a football club, symbolically chosen like this, because Villa is a team from Minas Gerais like us. I’m sure this partnership will be successful”, concluded the director.
