Vinicius Dias, a fan of Ponte Preta, who was attacked by unidentified supporters at the Arena da Amazônia in August, was present at the match against CRB at the Rei Pelé Stadium (Maceió), for the 27th round of the Brazilian Serie B Championship. EstrelaBet, Ponte Preta, and CRB invited Vinicius to follow his favorite team nearly 2,000 kilometers away from Campinas.
Ponte Preta and CRB welcomed Vinícius at Trapichão to reinforce that stadiums should be safe and violence-free environments.
“The games should be places of joy and fun. Assaults against Vinicius or any other fan should not occur. Therefore, we joined Ponte Preta and CRB to show that he is very welcome in Maceió and at the stadiums,” comments Leandro Figueiredo, head of sponsorships at EstrelaBet.
The fan had all expenses for tickets, airfare, accommodation, and food covered by EstrelaBet.
As a supporter of national sports, EstrelaBet also sponsors the Brazilian National Teams of Futsal and Beach Soccer, and clubs like Internacional, Vasco da Gama, América-MG, and Botafogo-SP, as well as the “Beira-Rio” stadium.
