This was the first summit bringing together policy makers, athletes, investigators, prosecutors, the betting industry, as well as representatives of the UN and other international organisations to discuss issues at the intersection of corruption, organised crime, betting, and sports integrity.

Five expert panels discussed the importance of integrity in professional sport; the growing relevance of technology in identifying suspicious betting activities; the dangers of illegal betting markets; the impact that legislative and regulatory changes can have and the possible ways to create networks of local, national, and global cooperation with legislators, regulators, enforcement agencies, promoters, data providers, and betting operators to avoid manipulation of game results.

The Summit resulted in a pledge by participating representatives from both the public and private sectors to create a Task Force to ensure continuous cooperation towards the design of Brazil’s regulatory framework.
