Behind advertisers for the Copa do Brasil, CBF wants to avoid unknown brands and 'overdose' of bets

oglobo11 September 2026 at 04:01

The CBF is seeking advertisers for the Copa do Brasil after making adjustments to the tournament as a product and announcing the winners of the bidding for broadcasting rights for the period from 2027 to 2030. The entity gave up an intermediary agency to directly manage the commercialization operation.

Among the priorities defined by the directors is the diversity of advertiser brands, meaning not having more than one company from the same sector as an advertiser. The main objective is to avoid repeating the so-called "overdose" of bets that currently dominates the national sports scene.

The CBF makes it clear that this is not about rejecting betting companies, but rather limiting to only one company from the sector as an advertiser in the commercial properties of the Copa do Brasil. The entity wants to maintain a balance between the different segments that wish to sponsor the competition.

Electoral bets on predictive market platforms already have an effect on exchange rates and the Stock Exchange in Brazil; understand

The Brazilian financial market closed Thursday higher, with the dollar falling to R$5.10 and the Ibovespa advancing 1.42%, to 188,269 points, in contrast to the negative day abroad. Analysts point out that electoral polls showing a close race between Lula and Flavio Bolsonaro in second-round scenarios contributed to the positive reading by investors. The rise in oil to US$107 per barrel also benefited Brazil as a crude oil exporter, valuing the shares of national oil companies, especially Petrobras. The Brazilian market started attracting foreign investors again, with analyses recommending "buy Brazil" and a significant increase in the balance of foreign investments on the Stock Exchange in the last month.

The poor man's tax.

The author criticizes the ease with which gambling is available throughout the country, the lack of enforcement on sales to minors, and the absence of effective regulation, arguing that the unbridled promotion of gambling removes the incentive for legitimate and valued work, perpetuating misery.

X-files Madeira: who are you Catarina?

The article questions the silence surrounding a Madeiran financial commentator who allegedly caused significant losses to investors who followed her investment advice, with an ongoing Public Prosecutor's Office investigation. The author analyzed the corporate reports of the society allegedly associated with the case, finding several legal proceedings, including an execution order exceeding 30 thousand euros and a civil action exceeding 1.7 million euros, involving financial sector stakeholders. The article raises questions about the lack of thorough investigation of the corporate structure, the connections to the "banking boys" and the absence of due diligence by a fund manager who appointed the commentator to its executive board, criticizing the "institutional amateurism" that allowed the case to go from "bomb to fizzle to silence."

Vineyards as an Effective Strategy in Forest Fire Prevention

A European project called FIRE WINE on the Iberian Peninsula is transforming viticulture into a forest fire prevention tool, promoting collective land management of agricultural and forest lands among winegrowers and local associations. The initiative integrates vineyards into broader landscape strategies, using them as windbreaks and buffer areas adjacent to forest zones. Examples include partnerships in Valdeorras, in Galicia, and Pla de Bages, in Catalonia, where producers unite to cover extensive areas with coordinated management measures. The project also includes post-fire seminars to share knowledge and restore confidence in rural communities, as well as tourism and heritage preservation initiatives, such as the rebirth of viticulture in Oller del Mas, showing that vineyards can contribute to the conservation and revitalization of rural landscapes.
