Caixa's investment in football sponsorships may reach US$ 52 million

The most important deals closed so far by Brazilian government-run bank Caixa are Flamengo, whose value can reach US$ 9.7 million if the club wins titles, and Atletico Mineiro, who will receive US$ 5.15 million. At the bottom of the list figures Paysandu, Ceará, Figueirense and América-MG contracts.

In the final phase of sponsorship negotiations for football clubs for this season, Caixa already adds US$ 38.8 million in investments to expose the bank's brand in the teams' uniforms, practically the same value as last year, which was US$ 39.4 millions.

However, the amount invested in 2017 may reach US$ 52 million if the Brazilian government-run bank keeps the agreement with two of the major local football teams: Corinthians and Vasco da Gama, whose agreements last season were US$ 9.7 million and US$ 3 million, respectively.

In relation to the renewed agreements, three teams were able to raise the amounts received on sponsorship over last year. The main one was Atletico Mineiro, which increased by US$ 1.15 million compared to the US$ 4 million it received in 2016. Sport and Coritiba, who received US$ 1.95 million in the season, will receive US$ 2.5 million and US$ 2.4 million, respectively. The only club whose value was reduced was Figueirense, whose agreement dropped from US$ 1.3 to US$ 1.1 million.
