Football clubs to the attorney general’s office will argue before the court, according to iGaming Business.
The hit
Brazil’s Supreme Federal Court will hold a public hearing on 3 November to discuss legal challenges to the government’s betting ban, according to iGaming Business. Justice Luiz Fux scheduled the session after the attorney general’s office & industry groups asked the court to weigh in.
Why it matters
The ban, issued by President Lula, blocks the offering, intermediation & advertising of betting in Brazil. It was challenged in the Supreme Federal Court by entities in the sector, media companies & football clubs, according to iGaming Business. ANJL & IBJR requested its suspension, alleging unconstitutionality. The hearing will shape multiple pending cases on betting regulation, not just the ban itself.
