Sportradar, a global leader in sports technology, held an Integrity Workshop with the professional men's team of Palmeiras on Thursday (5) at the team's Training Center in Barra Funda, São Paulo. The initiative is part of the company's commitment to educate and prevent manipulation practices in sports, using advanced tools and detailed analysis to ensure the ethics of competitions.
The goal of the event was to sensitize and educate the players and technical staff about the threat of match-fixing in football.
During the workshop, the athletes participated in interactive activities and learned about real situations that highlight the risks and circumstances involved in match-fixing and the dangers of professional athletes getting involved with sports betting. Sportradar shared detailed information based on its work in monitoring, detecting, and investigating cases of manipulation in sports competitions around the world.
Felippe Marchetti, manager of integrity partnerships at Sportradar in Brazil, stated: “The fight against match-fixing is an ongoing effort that requires the awareness of everyone involved in sports”.
“Our goal is to equip the players with the necessary knowledge to recognize and report any suspicious approaches and for Sportradar, it is an honor to promote this seminar to Palmeiras, one of the most traditional and successful clubs in the country”, he added.
“We thank them for opening their doors and collaborating in building a safe environment for our football”, concluded Marchetti.
This workshop is part of a series of ongoing actions that Sportradar promotes around the world to protect the integrity of sports. In Brazil, several federations and clubs have already received the training, including the Northeastern Federations, Minas Gerais Football Federation, Náutico, Sport, and Vitória.
The Education and Integrity Prevention programs are part of their anti-match-fixing services.
