palmeiras used facial recognition to stop ticket touting

Palmeiras used facial recognition to stop ticket touting

Fans need no physical tickets, membership cards or e-tickets. To enter Allianz Parque at Palmeiras, only facial recognition is needed. The technology was developed as a solution to a problem every club in Brazil is facing: ticket touting.  “Before we implemented facial biometrics, ticket touters would legally join Avanti, the club’s supporter programme, buy tickets within our system and then sell them for prices well above what we charged, which is a crime,” Everaldo Coelho Palmeiras’ marketing director explains.  “It was something that bothered us a lot, because our fans, including Avanti members entitled to priority purchase, were unable to get tickets for Palmeiras matches.” This revolution in changing the way fans can access the stadium has been good for the club. In August, Palmeiras hit a milestone of 200,000 active fan members, a record in Brazil. They got 62,000 new members between January and July this year. Due to this, the team expects to rake in over R$70 million (£9.5m) with Avanti in 2024.  Palmeiras claims to be the first football club in the world to adopt the facial biometrics system for all access to the stadium on match days. In Brazil, article 148 of the General Sports Law (LGE) stated that all sports arenas with a capacity of over 20,000 people must have facial recognition on their turnstiles by June 2025.  With these requirements, teams have gradually started adopting technology, but no other club demands facial recognition at 100% of its entrances. There are instances like Flamengo, which uses the system for all tickets sold online, but still sells physical tickets.  “We studied a number of technological options and realised that the problem could only be solved by facial recognition,” Coelho says . Palmeiras won’t reveal how much it spent to implement facial biometrics at Allianz, in a project carried out with Bepass. “I can say, however, that the investment is worth it,” says the marketing director.

arsenal 'sound out' brazil serie a's vitor reis

Arsenal ‘sound out’ Brazil Serie A’s Vitor Reis, Real Madrid also interested

Arsenal could explore the South American market again. This time it’s for Brazilian prodigy Vitor Reis. According to an X post from Diario AS’ Edu Borges, the Gunners are one of three Premier League sides who have ‘sounded out’ Palmeiras for teenager Vitor Reis.  Reis is only 18, but he has stunned spectators with his performances in recent weeks. He has started 10 matches for Palmeiras since the beginning of July. He just made his senior debut as a substitute against Fortaleza at the end of June.  Borges, who works for AS, states that besides Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United have also monitored Reis. But, he claims that Real Madrid are also scouting the defender.  Reis has been captain of Brazil’s Under 17 team since the beginning of last year. He started all but one game at the South American Under 17 Championships as his club won 7 of their 9 fixtures.  Although Reis only made his debut for Palmeiras back in June, he has been attracting interest from clubs.  Spanish newspaper Diario AS wrote on their website: “Among Reis’ qualities as a player, two particularly notable traits are his good positioning and tactical intelligence.” He signed a new contract with Palmeiras at the start of August with his deal ending in 2028. He can play as a right-sided defender or left-sided defender which could be crucial for Mikel Arterta’s club if they sign him.  West Ham signed Palmerias’ Luis Guilherme earlier this summer while Real Madrid just concluded Endrick’s signing in 2023. Vitor could be the next Brazilian Serie A star to join European football.

chelsea enters talks over £39m for estevao willian

Chelsea enters talks over £39m for Estevao ‘Messinho’ Willian

Chelsea has entered discussions with Palmeiras over a move for Estevao Willian after Paris Saint-Germain were priced out of a move. The Blues are negotiating with Palmeira for Willan but his price is an issue. Estevao’s release clause is set at €45 million (£39m/$49m), but Chelsea would prefer to offer lower than that sum. They want to pay a fixed fee of €20 million (£17m/$21m) with another €20 million in variables. Palmeiras is not willing to negotiate the price, with their strong interest in Willian, PSG has already lost interest in the young wonder. Estevao Willian is the latest Brazilian player to gain attention from other top European clubs. He was exceptional at the recent Under-17 World Cup for Brazil and seemed to be in demand. While clubs are interested in signing him immediately, he cannot move until he turns 18 in 2025.

no punishment for endrick felipe

Brazil star Endrick Felipe escapes punishment after punching opponent

Future Real Madrid prospect Endrick Felipe is only 17 years old, almost a year from when he was signed by Los Blancos, and the Spanish outfit hopes that he overcomes most of his growing challenges at Palmerias this season before he joins Madrid. Earlier this campaign, Felipe had a hard time getting noticed by the media, which lead manager Abel Ferreira to assign him to the bench for some time. Since then, he has come back to form after admitting as much publicly. But on Sunday night, Endrick reminded fans that he is still figuring out how to be a professional football player. Endrick was doing well against Fortaleza, but the North-East of Brazil side were a goal into the second half. Eventually, they drew 2-2 when Gustavo Gomez was sent off the pitch, but were fortunate to escape a second sacking after Felipe lost his temper and abruptly punched Titi. Luckily for Endrick the refree did not punish him, and he will learn his lesson without his team suffering the repercautions, and the subsequent pressure it entails. There is no doub that Ferreira will give him a referesher course on how to keep his composure, something that is imperative especially with the world and Real Madrid watching him.

Fluminense midfielder Andre explains rejecting Liverpool offer

Fluminense midfielder Andre Trindade has hinted at refusing a move to Liverpool over the summer. TMW reports that the Reds failed with a €25m offer for Andre.  Ahead of the Copa Libertadores final, the midfielder said: In the last transfer window I didn’t talk about my possible farewell, the first time I’m doing it in more depth is now. “The offer we received was a really serious proposal from a club that plays in a big league. Every player dreams of one day playing for a big club in Europe in a big league, but I kept my word because, when the January window closed, the coach told me he wanted me here until the end of the year. “We didn’t know that offer would arrive and I told him that I would stay whatever happened. In the end, the offer arrived in the middle of the year, we were in the round of 16 of the Libertadores and it was a very difficult decision to make, but, if I had accepted, I don’t know if I would have been comfortable… “The coach appreciates honesty and told me that my value would increase.” Related Brazilian Serie A News: Man City, PSG eye Estêvão ‘dreams of playing’ for Barcelona.
