President-elect Jair Bolsonaro on Thursday used one of his social networks to pledge to revise advertising and sponsorship contracts entered into by state-owned companies. Among them are organizations known to support sport, such as CAIXA and BNDES

"We have learned that Caixa has spent about 2.5 billion rand in advertising and sponsorship over the last year. these contracts, as well as those of the BNDES, Banco do Brasil, Secom and others, "said the PSL policy officer.

Only a portion of CAIXA's sponsorship funds are for sport, but it is one of the most well-known companies in the industry. In football, the state sponsors 24 clubs. In addition, he is a direct partner of the Olympic Confederations – Athletics (CBAt), Gymnastics (CBG) and Brazilian Paralympic Committee, according to the official website of the institution

C & # 39; is in the Paralympic field that the company exerts more influence, with 13 sponsored modalities. They are athletics, petanque, wheelchair fencing, weightlifting, swimming, table tennis, shooting and sailing. In team sports, CAIXA is present in the categories of 5, 7, wheelchair rugby, volleyball, table tennis, sports shooting and sailing.

The BNDES in turn had a focus on canoeing. At the 2016 Rio Games, there were three Olympic medals with Isaquias Queiroz and Erlon de Souza. In addition, there were unpublished results, such as Pepê's sixth place in the slalom. Also took place the first female participation in speed tests, with Ana Paula Vergutz.

At the end of November, the Court of Auditors of the Union (TCU) ruled that it was "irregular the extension of sponsorship contracts" with state companies because it are not continuous service contracts. The measure should affect clubs – all current ties with Caixa ending no later than April 2019 – in addition to confederations.
