Brazilian clubs protest proposed online gambling ban ahead of 2026 election
Brazilian football clubs stepped up protests against Provisional Measure 1.394/2026, which the report describes as a ban on online gambling. Flamengo plans to put a protest slogan on its shirt, while São Paulo and Fluminense used Superscore to retain commercial visibility; sector representatives argue the measure could push users towards illegal operators.
The measure could affect clubs’ sponsorship income and the regulated market’s access to users.
