Instituto Conecta Cactus, the social arm of Cactus Gaming, has announced its support for Champions League InterCAPS 2026, a futsal initiative designed to promote social inclusion and wellbeing among individuals receiving care through Brazil’s Psychosocial Care Network.
The project is organized by the Brazilian Psychosocial Care Centres (CAPS) in Pompéu, Minas Gerais, and uses sport as a tool to encourage participation, strengthen social connections and support mental health recovery.
According to Instituto Conecta Cactus, the initiative extends beyond competition, creating opportunities for social interaction, community engagement and personal development for participants from across the region.
Over the years, the league has brought together teams representing different municipalities, helping to build relationships between participants while challenging stigma associated with mental health conditions.
Organizers report that the project has contributed to higher engagement in CAPS activities, increased motivation among participants and improvements in self-esteem and quality of life.
The institute said supporting projects that combine inclusion, wellbeing and community development remains part of its broader social investment strategy.
“The results are already visible: greater participation in CAPS activities, strengthened self-esteem, more motivation, and improved quality of life for participants,” stated the institute.
Instituto Conecta Cactus operates as the social arm of Cactus Gaming, which is linked to betting brands including Ana Gaming and 7K.
In recent months, the organization has expanded its portfolio of community initiatives across Minas Gerais, focusing on education, social inclusion and vulnerable populations.
Instituto Conecta Cactus recently announced a partnership with NAVE (Eternal Life Learning Center), a social development project in Minas Gerais focused on supporting children and teenagers living in vulnerable situations through educational and social inclusion activities.
Instituto Conecta Cactus says it has distributed more than 45,000 food baskets to families in vulnerable situations across Brazil since 2025
