The Stockholm-listed betting group has penned a three-year agreement with the former Brazil International, which will see the licensing of global player images across all of its brands.
Furthermore, Zé Roberto will also take on the role of Brand Ambassador, with most of the social media content based around this famous midfielder.
“Zé Roberto is the best strategic partner we could think of to represent and increase the notoriety of our brand in Brazil,” said Andrea Rossi, Commercial Director for Southern Europe and Latin America at Betsson Group.
“At the same time, considering that he is known worldwide, we negotiated a global and multi-brand agreement, which allows the Betsson Group to use Zé Roberto’s prestige to promote our brands globally.”
Robert will also be available across a wide variety of Betsson-organised events, including meet and greets, photo sheets and so on. The announcement was made via a YouTube Shorts video released on Betsson’s Brazil channel. The video is called Multiverse of Zé Roberto.
