Brazil’s Ministry of Justice has ordered the nation’s football clubs and federations to submit information about any advertising and sponsorship partnerships with sports betting services over concerns they are illegal.

Leading teams such as Flamengo, Palmeiras and Club Athletico Paranaense, the Campeonato Brasileiro league and the Rede Globo de Televisão television network are among the 54 entities that must submit details to the Ministry of Justice and Public Security (MJSP) within 10 days.

The investigation follows concerns by National Consumer Secretariat (Senacon) that the partnerships were agreed upon without Brazil having yet finalised the laws and standards that will be applied to its pending federal sports betting regime.
