Chilean lawmakers challenge betting sponsorships as football season begins
Chilean lawmaker Roberto Arroyo and congressman-elect Patricio Briones criticised betting-company sponsorships as the 2026 top-flight football season began. They said Supreme Court rulings in 2023 had found operators’ activity illegal under the current framework, and called for progress on stalled bills covering football advertising and broader sector regulation.
The proposed bills could change the rules for betting advertising and sponsorships in Chilean football.
