Sportradar’s Integrity Services expands agreement with Brazilian Football Confederation to include state level competitions for the first time

The Brazilian Football Confederation and Sportradar Integrity Services – a global supplier of sport integrity solutions and partner to more than 100 sports federations and leagues – have extended their agreement for three years, while increasing the number of Brazilian football competitions that will be monitored. Sportradar Integrity Services is a unit of Sportradar, the leading global sports technology company creating immersive experiences for sports fans across the globe. The relationship between the two bodies first began in 2017.
The new three-year agreement features the addition of Sportradar Integrity Services’ Universal Fraud Detection System (UFDS) for bet monitoring of 27 state-level competitions, as well as Brasileiro U20 and Campeonato Brasileiro de Aspirantes. More than 3000 CBF-sanctioned matches per year will now be monitored under the new contract, which also continues the existing monitoring of Série C and Série D and the provision of Intelligence and Investigations Services to assist CBF investigations into any potential integrity threats.
Under the terms of the new agreement, Sportradar’s education experts will also deliver three live online integrity workshops per season to help inform players, coaches, staff, referees and other stakeholders of the match-fixing threats and other risks that exist and how to avoid them.
The UFDS is an advanced and proven bet monitoring system that has been independently assessed and verified by recognized experts in the field of sports betting and integrity. Betting patterns are analysed for abnormalities by a global team of qualified integrity experts, and any suspicious matches are subsequently reported to partners, allowing critical visibility into worldwide match-fixing. Sportradar Integrity Services have detected over 6,900 suspicious matches during the past 17 years with more than 900 of these occurring in 2021 alone.
CBF Acting President, Ednaldo Rodrigues, said: “Sportradar Integrity Services have been a valued and trusted partner of ours, with their UFDS bet monitoring providing vital insights into the betting activity on our competitions. Extending this partnership helps to strengthen our mission to protect Brazilian football, and by adding their live integrity workshops, we will gain an extra layer of protection by ensuring that education is delivered on the integrity dangers facing our competitions.”
Sportradar Integrity Services Managing Director, Andreas Krannich, added: “Having witnessed growing integrity issues across global sport in recent years, particularly in lower levels of competition and youth sport, it is commendable to see the importance the CBF place on preventative measures. Through this ongoing partnership, we look forward to continuing our work in a country with such rich footballing history and future.”
The continuing partnership with CBF underscores Sportradar’s commitment to protecting world football from would-be corruptors and follows robust and well tested integrity agreements already in place with CONMEBOL, FIFA, UEFA and the Asian Football Confederation (AFC).

Esportes da Sorte holds forum on “Integrity in Sports†with Ceará and Náutico

Esportes da Sorte hosted its Match-Fixing Prevention Forum last week at Ceará and Náutico as main sponsor of both clubs. Held in partnership with Sportradar, the initiative is part of a series of in-person workshops, with upcoming sessions planned for Corinthians and Ferroviária.
The project aims to combat illegal practices and reinforce a strong commitment to integrity in sport. Activities were tailored for athletes and members of the technical staff from the men’s and women’s professional teams, as well as the under-20 squads. During the sessions, topics such as the definition of match-fixing, types of fraud, fraudsters’ modus operandi, legal risks, and reputational impacts were covered. Participants were offered practical guidance on how to respond to suspicious approaches.
“This training programme reinforces our commitment to sports integrity and responsible gaming, pillars that guide our actions. We believe education is the best form of prevention, and we want to stand alongside clubs in this joint effort for transparency and the protection of sport,†said Ana Carolina Luna Maçães, Compliance Manager at Esportes Gaming Brasil, the group behind the Esportes da Sorte brand.
“Ceará takes this topic very seriously. The club is an important player in the fight against match-fixing. We act preventively with regular meetings and have a handbook that addresses the topic with our squad. It is our duty to provide these moments of learning for athletes and technical staff. We live in a time when the integrity of sport is being questioned. In this scenario, actions like this are extremely important,†commented Lucas Drubscky, Football Executive at Ceará.
The sessions were led by Felippe Marchetti, Integrity Partnerships Manager at Sportradar, a global sports technology company and recognized authority in sports integrity. In Brazil, Sportradar partners with the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) and 17 state federations, monitoring more than 10,000 matches per season. The company recently signed a Technical Cooperation Agreement (TCA) with the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Sports.
“Raising awareness among athletes and teams is one of the most effective ways to protect competitions from manipulation. These workshops are designed to equip participants with the knowledge and tools to recognize threats and act responsibly. We are proud to support initiatives like this that strengthen the integrity of Brazilian sports,†said Felippe Marchetti.
