Acronis Announces New #TeamUp Partnership in Brazil with Flamengo Supported by BTO

RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil, July 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Acronis, a global leader in cyber protection, today announced a new #TeamUp partnership in Brazil with the Clube de Regatas do Flamengo, the country's most recognized football club, and BTO, a Brazilian managed IT services provider (MSP).

Through the partnership, Acronis will become the Official Cyber Protection Partner of Flamengo. BTO will serve as the Acronis Delivery Partner and #CyberFit Partner, the MSP responsible for delivering Acronis’ natively integrated cybersecurity and data protection solutions to support the club's IT infrastructure and digital resilience, as well as supporting the implementation and ongoing management of the solutions, as part of Acronis' #TeamUp program.

“Flamengo is a club with extraordinary reach, history, and passion, and we are proud to welcome them to the Acronis #TeamUp program, further expanding our sports presence in LATAM,” said Pat Hurley, RVP Americas at Acronis. “As one of Brazil’s most iconic football clubs, Flamengo represents the scale, energy, and digital demands of modern professional sports. Together with BTO, we are helping deliver modern cyber protection that supports Flamengo’s operations, strengthens resilience, and enables the club to stay focused on performance both on and off the pitch.”

The partnership, officially titled “Flamengo #TeamUp with BTO,” brings together Acronis’ integrated cyber protection technology, BTO’s local expertise across Brazil, and Flamengo’s world-class sports brand. As sports organizations increasingly rely on digital systems to manage operations, content, communications, and fan engagement, cyber protection plays a critical role in helping clubs protect data, maintain continuity, and stay ready for what comes next.

“This partnership reinforces Flamengo's strategy of connecting major brands to its ecosystem and generating value across different fronts,” said Marcos Senna, Flamengo’s Commercial Director. “With Acronis, alongside BTO, we broaden our activation possibilities and strengthen our commercial platform, while also bringing internal benefits to the club's operations.”

Based in Itu, São Paulo, and operating throughout Brazil, BTO will deliver Acronis’ cyber protection capabilities to Flamengo as the club’s trusted MSP partner. The collaboration reflects BTO’s ongoing focus on helping Brazilian organizations strengthen their cybersecurity posture with proven, scalable solutions.

“BTO is proud to partner with Acronis and Flamengo through this #TeamUp initiative,” Gilmar Eles Jr., Managing Partner at BTO. “As the Acronis Delivery Partner and #CyberFit Partner, we are committed to bringing advanced, reliable cyber protection to organizations across Brazil. Supporting a club with the scale and visibility of Flamengo is an exciting opportunity to demonstrate the value of secure, resilient technology.”

As part of the partnership, Acronis, BTO and Flamengo will collaborate on a series of visibility initiatives, including social media content, integration into Flamengo's CRM through email communications, placements in FlamengoTV broadcasts, brand exposure at the Ninho do Urubu Training Center and a future case study.

This new partnership expands Acronis’ global #TeamUp program, which connects professional sports organizations with local MSPs to deliver cyber protection, while creating meaningful visibility and engagement opportunities across the sports ecosystem.
