Betting firm Betfair has been named an Official Partner of the South American Football Confederation (CONMEBOL), which will give the brand exposure in an emerging market.

With this important partnership, we add another global brand to the international status of South American football."

It's a wise deal that of Betfair side I think cause as Dustin mentioned in the article South America is a growing betting market and you could expect nothing but a growth there in the next years so signing deal of this kind will nothing but benefit Betfair in future I believe.
