The championship will take place from October 2 to 11 at Arena Pernambuco (Camaragibe/PE), bringing together nine clubs representing each state in the region for 14 matches. Games will be broadcast on Canal GOAT via YouTube, with additional coverage on Globo Nordeste, Sportv, and Globoplay.
“The Copa Maria Bonita Betnacional is more than a tournament: it is a symbol of empowerment and the recognition of women’s talent on the field. For us, as the Bet of Brazilians, it is a source of pride to link our brand to an initiative that celebrates the cultural strength of the Northeast and paves the way for greater visibility and leadership for women in sports,” said João Studart, CEO of Flutter Brazil, the ecosystem to which Betnacional belongs.
Betnacional already has a strong track record of investments in football, including sponsorship of Sport Club do Recife — which will also participate in the Copa Maria Bonita with its women’s team — and the Campeonato Pernambucano.
Now, with the Copa Maria Bonita Betnacional, the company reaffirms its commitment to strengthening the sport on multiple fronts, promoting inclusion, diversity, and the development of women’s football.
Inspired by Maria Bonita, an icon of female leadership and resistance, the competition reflects Betnacional’s essence in supporting initiatives that bring together sports, culture, and social impact. The tournament will be played at one of the country’s most emblematic venues — Arena Pernambuco, a stadium that hosted the FIFA World Cup and will be one of the sites of the 2027 Women’s World Cup.
