Criciúma Esporte Clube is making suspense on social networks, but should announce a sponsorship agreement with a bookmaker soon. In the 2022 season, Betfast.io was one of Tigre’s partners and had its brand stamped on the back of the professional team’s uniform.
But, the agreement should not be renewed with the strong tendency of a new player in the betting market to agree with the club from the south of Santa Catarina. On social networks, the Carvoeiro profile published the following message: “Our Christmas will shine even brighter and the present will then be awesome! But first, what is missing from our Christmas tree?”
The local sports media is already speculating on the names of some bookmakers. Club president Vilmar Guedes even declared that he would be meeting with the CEO and president of the new sponsor on December 20. The expectation is that the agreement will be revealed this Tuesday or Wednesday.
In addition, the board is promising to announce the biggest sponsorship contract in the history of Criciúma. While the new partnership is not officially disclosed, Tigre’s squad continues its pre-season work focused on next year’s commitments.
In 2023, Criciúma will compete in the first division of the Campeonato Catarinense, Série B do Brasileiro and Copa do Brasil. The team, which suffered from irregular campaigns in recent years, fought for access to the football elite until the end of the Brasileirão and managed to return to the first division of the State.
Increase in sports sponsorships from bookmakers
Since the release of sports betting activity in Brazil during the government of President Michel Temer in 2018, companies in the sector are investing significantly in national sport. This year, the 20 teams participating in the Série A of the Brasileirão had agreements with betting sites and this trend should continue next season.
