FENAPF alleges players are unpaid for image rights used by betting sites
Brazil’s National Federation of Professional Football Athletes (FENAPF) said players are not receiving the payments required by law when betting companies use their images. At a public hearing at the Chamber of Deputies on 4 September, federation president Jorge Bossato proposed that FENAPF act as an intermediary for payments; subcommittee chair Caio Viana backed the complaint.
The allegation concerns betting companies’ legal obligations to compensate footballers for image use in Brazil.
