Botafogo-SP announced what the club itself has called the biggest deal in its history. At the event at the Nicnet Arena/Santa Cruz Stadium, HanzBet was introduced as the new master sponsor of the Tricolor, which competes in Serie B of the Brasileirão and has been in Serie A of the Paulista Championship for 17 years. The betting house is authorized by the federal government to operate in the country.
At the event, the Pantera also unveiled its new number two uniform for the season.
Founded two years ago, HanzBet has the entrepreneur from Ribeirão Preto, Gabriel Martins, as CEO. The other two owners are Matheus Oliveira and Eduardo Peres.
The sponsorship goes far beyond the brand exposure on the club's shirt, field boards, and backdrops. The company intends to invest in other areas and also be close to the fans with constant actions.
“It is with great pride, as a born Botafogo fan, that we announce the biggest sponsorship in the history of Botafogo. Since childhood, I have experienced unforgettable moments at the stadium, cheering for the Pantera with all my passion. Now, uniting this personal history with that of HanzBet, a platform that was born in Ribeirão Preto and today grows throughout Brazil, is a reason for immense happiness,” said Gabriel Martins during the event.
“This sponsorship marks a historic moment, both for Botafogo and for the betting market in Brazil, where HanzBet is one of the few companies authorized to operate. Our commitment goes further: we support sports, culture and promote responsible gaming, always for those over 18 years old,” added the executive.
President of the Board of Directors of Botafogo Futebol SA, Adalberto Baptista also commented on the new master sponsor: “We are very happy with the arrival of HanzBet, a genuinely Ribeirão Preto company that is now expanding throughout the national territory. HanzBet will bring many novelties to the Botafogo fans and I am convinced that it will be a very successful partnership”.
Botafogo-SP
Founded in 1918, Botafogo is one of the most traditional teams in the state of São Paulo. Currently, it competes in Serie B of the Brazilian Championship and has been in Serie A of the Paulista Championship for 17 years, being the longest-standing club from the interior in the competition.
Known as a breeding ground for champions, as a verse of its anthem says, the Pantera has had in its squad players who have marked the history of Brazilian football, such as Sócrates, and his brother Raí, as well as Zé Mário, the first player from an interior team directly called up to the Brazilian National Team.
Since 2018, the Tricolor became a SA. The following year, the Nicnet Arena emerged, a space within the Santa Cruz Stadium, which was completely renovated to host cultural attractions.
Since 2022, the venue has been the stage for major international concerts, such as Kiss, Iron Maiden, Guns N` Roses, and Rod Stewart. The space also hosted the Cabaré Festival on two occasions, the Show Amigos and the Tardezinha.
