Operator continues expanding its footprint across Bahia football properties

Esportiva Bet has rolled out another round of fan-focused activations tied to Bahia Football Club, as the operator continues to strengthen its marketing presence within regional Brazilian football.

The latest initiatives took place across multiple supporter gathering points during the weekend, including outside the headquarters of Bamor, Bahia’s largest organized supporters’ group, as well as at Bar do Bahia and Five Sports Bar.

One activation featured a football juggling challenge involving fans, partner creators and brand ambassadors, with the operator distributing free bets and branded merchandising, including customized shirts. According to the company, the campaign was designed to connect influencer audiences with Esportiva Bet’s growing fan community.

Additional operations focused on customer acquisition and direct interaction with supporters ahead of matchday, including the distribution of personalized visors and other promotional items in high-traffic fan environments.

“These activations are part of EsportivaBet's strategy to build relationships with various segments of Bahia's fanbase, strengthening its presence, engagement, and brand experience in environments where fans truly live and breathe football,” explained the company.

Where it all started

The latest campaigns build on the operator’s recent commercial expansion within Bahian football. Last month, Bahia Football Club confirmed a new main sponsorship agreement with Esportiva Bet, restoring branding to the front of the club’s shirt after several months without a principal sponsor.

The partnership also includes visibility across LED boards, pitchside signage and institutional club assets at Arena Fonte Nova, alongside fan engagement initiatives across physical and digital channels.

Besides that, the operator also secured naming rights for the Campeonato Baiano Série B, the regional championship in which the club plays, through an agreement with the Bahia Football Federation, extending its regional football strategy beyond club sponsorships.
