São Paulo FC stadium naming rights transition

Overview

São Paulo FC has announced that its stadium will revert to its original name, Morumbi, at the end of December following the conclusion of naming rights negotiations with Mondelez. The partnership, which had been in place since late 2023 and generated roughly R$ 25 million annually, ended due to disagreements over financial terms.

Reported factors contributing to the end of the agreement include increased competition for advertising from betting platforms and rising global cocoa costs affecting Mondelez’s investment capacity. The club’s incoming management, following December elections, will be responsible for securing a new commercial partner.
