Campeonato Brasileiro Serie A football club Flamengo has renewed its sponsorship deal with government-owned banking group Caixa.

The Diário Oficial da União newspaper reported that the deal would be worth up to R$30m (€9.2m/$9.7m). The renewal covers the 2017 season.

Caixa’s branding will continue to feature on the front of Flamengo’s jerseys as part of the agreement.
