Advanced Compliance Technology (ACT) has announced a landmark partnership with the Soccer Federation of Rio Grande do Norte, a regional member of the Brazilian Soccer Confederation (CBF).
This collaboration serves as a critical infrastructure development for Brazilian football as the nation navigates the complexities of its newly implemented regulated sports betting framework.
Educational Initiatives and Independent Monitoring
ACT will lead a comprehensive assessment of league requirements, focusing on competition integrity and the protection of athletes from the risks of match-fixing. The partnership includes the introduction of specialized educational programs delivered by ACT’s leadership team, experts who have identified some of the most significant match-fixing incidents in the United States.
A central pillar of the deal is the deployment of ACT’s proprietary online monitoring platform, which is currently the only independent real-time technology that operates entirely separately from betting operators and trading services. This ensures a transparent, unbiased oversight of betting patterns across the regional leagues.
Susan Bala, Co-Founder and Director at ACT, noted the historic nature of the shift:
“We are entering a new chapter in global sports with the introduction of legalised sports betting in Brazil. The country has an incredible and proud history in soccer, producing many of the game’s greatest athletes. ACT is very pleased to collaborate with the leadership of the Soccer Federation of Rio Grande do Norte league in their mission to build a strong future through education and application of the most advanced technology solutions to safeguard the sport.”
Safeguarding the Future of the Sport
The regional and national leadership of Brazilian football expressed strong support for the initiative.
Felipe Silva, Acting President of the Soccer Federation of Rio Grande do Norte, and José Silva, Vice President of the CBF, stated in a joint message:
“We are extremely pleased to be working with ACT on this initiative. We recognise the importance of educating our athletes and protecting the sport we love. It is our mission through this work to contribute to the future success of Brazilian football.”
