Mexico, a Central Market for Sports Betting

The NFL identifies Mexico as one of its most active international markets, with a large fan base and high interaction with the sport and related betting. The incorporation of Codere Online as a sponsor, one of the most recognized sports betting operators in the country, responds both to the ambition of the company and the league's interest in strengthening its local presence.

The agreement covers brand presence rights and exclusive experiences associated with the two major events: the NFL Mexico City Game 2026 and Super Bowl LXI. For Codere Online, the contract represents a relevant platform for attracting users and standing out in an increasingly competitive local offering.

The company emphasized that its participation only encompasses activities that comply with integrity criteria, responsible gaming, and Mexican regulatory requirements. This will be relevant both in delivering experiences and in showcasing content and marketing. The relationship with the NFL must adhere to the guidelines governing sports betting activities in Mexico, where Codere Online has an established presence.

The company’s outlook suggests that the partnership, at least until 2027, will set the pace for new collaborations between betting operators and international leagues focusing on established providers and regulatory compliance in the local industry.
