Peruvian professional football club FBC Melgar has proudly confirmed Stake as its new official sponsor for the 2025 season. This strategic alliance strengthens the club’s commitment to growth and success, marking a significant milestone in the history of “El Dominó.”

Stake, recognised as one of the world’s leading online betting platforms, will feature its logo exclusively on the chest of the men’s first team jerseys.

Additionally, Stake will also appear on the chest of the women’s team and Liga 3 jerseys, marking a historic milestone for the club as it is the first time FBC Melgar’s Official Sponsor has supported all these categories comprehensively.

This agreement highlights Stake’s commitment to FBC Melgar and its support for the club’s growth across all its categories.

Ricardo Bettocchi, Administrator of FBC Melgar, said: “This alliance with Stake reinforces our commitment to keep FBC Melgar as a reference in Peruvian and South American football. Having the support of an international brand that trusts our project is a great step to continue strengthening all our categories. We are excited about the benefits that this collaboration will bring to our institution and to the entire ‘rojinegra’ family.”

The partnership includes various initiatives aimed at enriching the fan experience, both at the stadium and through special activations and exclusive benefits. With this sponsorship, Stake and FBC Melgar strengthen a bond that promises great achievements both on and off the field.

Stake expanded its regulated market footprint by securing casino and sportsbook licences to launch in Peru’s online gaming market last year. The operator also has a strong regulated presence in Latam through Stake Colombia and Stake Brazil.

Diana Otálora, Latam Manager at Stake, stated: “At Stake, we are proud to partner with FBC Melgar, a historic club that represents passion and excellence, reinforcing our vision of connecting with sports communities in Latin America and actively contributing to their success. This agreement, in the context of the growing regulated market in Peru, reflects our intention to contribute to the development of football at all levels and our presence in the region.”
