This three-year partnership will entail Binance’s brand being associated with these competitions, as well as Fan Tokens that will reward interactive users and NFTs.

To be successful, the transaction must be approved by regulatory authorities, primarily Brazil’s Central Bank. The move aimed to expand the cryptocurrency and blockchain ecosystem in Brazil.
Changpeng Zhao, stated: “We believe that Binance has a lot to contribute to developing the community and ecosystem in Brazil in full collaboration with local authorities. At Binance, we aim to increase crypto acceptance around the world in order to benefit our users, the crypto and blockchain ecosystems, and society in general..”
Binance has already supported the Paulisto Sicredi and Santos Futebol Clube in Brazilian sports. Moreover, Binance sponsors the African Cup of Nations, the largest football competition on the continent, as well as the European football teams Porto (Portugal) and Lazio (Italy). They also partner with the F-1 team Alpine.
