Amounts stipulated in the betting law

The Pará Football Federation works to ensure its clubs receive funds from sports betting

The Pará Football Federation (FPF) completed another strategic step this Tuesday (15) in Brasília to guarantee the state's professional clubs access to funds from fixed-odds sports betting. During an official meeting, President Ricardo Gluck Paul delivered the technical guidelines authorizing the FPF to begin the process of identifying and collecting the funds stipulated in federal legislation.

“These resources come from the national regulation that allocates part of the tax revenue collected from betting operators to sports entities and competition organizers. We are leading this national process, which will take the level of investment in Pará’s clubs to an entirely new level,” highlighted FPF President Ricardo Gluck Paul.

The Pará Football Federation has waived its share of this revenue, allowing 100% of the amount allocated to the State to be distributed exclusively to the clubs from the A1, A2, and A3 divisions. This measure reinforces the Federation’s commitment to the sustainability of football in Pará and amplifies the direct impact on the clubs.

In 2025, the FPF had already implemented, for the first time, participation fees for the 24 clubs in the A2 and A3 divisions, covering refereeing costs, match delegates, and part of the competition logistics.

“Clubs in the lower divisions have never received participation fees or financial support from the Federation. With this new effort, the FPF is expanding the clubs’ participation fees and injecting an unprecedented amount of financial resources into Pará’s football,” adds Gluck Paul.

Now that the stages of defining the revenue split among clubs and signing the Technical Directive have been completed, the FPF moves to the final phase of the process: identifying the total amount to be distributed and carrying out the payments to the 38 professional clubs in Pará.

This progress is the result of technical planning, institutional coordination, and legal work conducted with seriousness and strategic vision. The FPF continues to play a leading role in strengthening Pará football across all its divisions.
