Brazil – August 15, 2025 – www.zonadeazar.com – Match-fixing prevention and sports integrity were the main topics at the “The Future of Brazilian Sports – Regulation, Financial Impact and Integrity” panel during Rio Innovation Week 2025, sponsored by Superbet.

Samir Xaud, president of the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF), and Luís Otávio, president of the Superior Court of Sports Justice (STJD), discussed how sports betting regulation can drive transparency, strengthen governance, and effectively combat fraud.

Key Highlights

Transparency and Anti-Fraud Measures

Xaud emphasized that the Law 14.790/2023, in force since January, has reduced match-fixing cases by 80% thanks to CBF’s internal monitoring systems.

Modernization and Inclusion

His priorities include modernizing refereeing, boosting women’s football, fighting racism, and promoting a decentralized management model that empowers all departments.

Investigation and Global Standards

Otávio highlighted the importance of agile investigation mechanisms and the urgency of aligning with international football standards, as Brazil is among the countries that sanction athletes the most for match-fixing.
