The Sport Integrity Global Alliance (SIGA) is proud to announce the launch of the Portuguese-language edition of its Universal Standards on Sport Integrity dedicated to Sports Betting Integrity. This marks another concrete step in SIGA’s ongoing effort to make its Standards increasingly accessible to organisations and stakeholders operating across key global markets.
The SIGA Universal Standards are the cornerstone of the organisation’s global reform agenda. They provide a clear, practical and measurable framework for strengthening integrity across four fundamental areas:
- Good Governance in Sport
- Financial Integrity & Transparency in Sport
- Sports Betting Integrity
- Youth Development & Protection in Sport
The publication of the Portuguese version reflects the growing importance of Brazil and Latin America within the global Sport Integrity agenda, particularly in light of the rapid expansion and regulation of the sports betting sector in the region.
The launch of this edition is especially relevant in the context of SIGA LATIN AMERICA’s ongoing work in Brazil, including the landmark Cooperation Agreements signed with the Brazilian Ministry of Finance, through the Secretariat of Prizes and Betting, and with the Ministry of Sport.
The translated edition also responds to the increasing engagement of SIGA LATIN AMERICA members and committed supporters connected to the sports betting industry, including betting operators, integrity specialists and regulatory stakeholders actively contributing to the development of a safer, more transparent and more accountable market.
In parallel, the publication further supports the objectives of FAIR – Fórum de Apostas, Integridade e Regulação – the platform established by SIGA LATIN AMERICA to foster dialogue, cooperation and coordinated action across the region.
By making the Sports Betting Integrity Standards available in Portuguese, SIGA aims to facilitate broader implementation and understanding of its’ internationally recognised integrity benchmarks, enabling stakeholders to strengthen governance systems, compliance structures, risk prevention mechanisms and independent oversight procedures.
As sports betting regulation continues to evolve across Latin America, SIGA reaffirms its commitment to supporting governments, regulators, sport organisations and industry stakeholders through the promotion and implementation of robust, practical and independently verifiable standards designed to safeguard the integrity and long-term sustainability of sport and sports betting markets.
