One of the hallmark initiatives of this collaboration is the TV and digital show ‘Bate Cupa’, a groundbreaking program that shines a spotlight on all 24 teams competing in the group stage and showcases the players’ talents in a unique and entertaining format.

Future Initiatives and Commitment to Growth

Both Betano and the FRF are poised to introduce more initiatives aimed at supporting and elevating Romanian football.

Julio Iglesias, Chief Commercial Officer of Kaizen Gaming, expressed enthusiasm for the continued partnership, stating, “During the past two years, we have shared a common vision with the Romanian Football Federation to take Cupa Romaniei Betano to new heights. The new format of the competition has been a great step down that route. We believe that the enthusiasm and the prestige surrounding Cupa Romaniei Betano will rise even higher. The new multi-year agreement shows the belief we have in this competition and our burning passion for football. At Kaizen Gaming we remain committed to supporting the growth of sports in Romania with integrity and responsibility.”
