With a focus on Brazil and LatAm, Futbol Sites adds expert sports betting executives

Futbol Sites Network Group (FSN), top digital sports media group with a Latin American network of sites that totals more than 60 million unique monthly visitors, has announced that it is joining forces with Jordan Gnat (appointed as Vice-Chairman), Robin Chhabra and Andy Clerkson. With the expertise of executives in the industry in the areas of gaming and sport betting, the company that owns the successful Bolavip site in Brazil, seeks to target its editorial product towards the growing number of bookmakers that have advertisers in the country.

The three executives, who bring over 60 years of combined experience in the media, sports betting and gaming industry, will be deeply committed to FSN’s expansion and reach, not just in its current markets in the USA and LATAM, but also assist in opening and leaving a footprint in new markets around the world. With offices and operations in Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Chile, Mexico and the United States, Futbol Sites bridges the gap between brands and fans, using data, technology and a deep knowledge of the sports industry.

"In the number of direct advertisers we have, we clearly see a large increase in sports betting houses pushed by the regulatory process that Brazil is going through and a little behind Argentina. With the arrival of Jordan, Robin and Andy who provide a high level of contacts, networking and knowledge of the online gambling industry, for us more than ever, Brazil becomes a relevant market due to its size and progress," explains Federico Grinberg, Co-founder and CEO of Futbol Sites, to GMB.

Grinberg also added that “having these 3 super stars of the industry as an investors as well as Jordan on our Board will not only help FSN expand its network and reach, but also by sharing their knowledge and advise, will help us take the company to the next level and consolidate FSN as a synonym with the digital sports content category”.

Futbol Sites has its version of Bolavip in Brazil, with an impressive traffic that exceeds 15 million unique users in recent months and an increasing number of betting sites as advertisers. “Brazil has quickly become the one of the largest market for Futbol Sites. The future regulation of sports betting will only increase fan engagement. We will continue to provide our fans and followers the best experience and most relevant information and news”, said Jordan Gnat.

 

 

“Businesses are made up of people and the team at FSN are second to none. I am honoured that they have chosen me, Robin and Andy to be part of their winning team. We look forward to bringing our over 60 years of combined sports, media and gaming knowledge and experience to the company. The platform that has been built is rock solid and we look forward to working with the team to continue the strong growth in Brazil, LatAm, the USA and beyond,” added the new Vice-Chairman.

"In Brazil we are going to target our editorial product towards those betting sites with initiatives and content that make us a much more active member for that segment and thus respond to the enormous demand that will continue to grow," adds Federico Grinberg.
