FP Markets, an Australian forex and CFDs broker, has announced a partnership with Cricket Brasil to support its 

thriving youth development programme which provides a pathway for children to finish schooling, attend university 

and build a future around the game. In its initial phase, the sponsorship will focus on supporting 3 specific areas:

FP Markets enhances its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programme with Sponsorship of the Cricket Brasil 

Youth Development Programme

Education – Helping fund the university education of project leaders (known as the “Black T-shirts”) through the 

Cricket Brasil University Scheme providing young Brazilians access to higher education and providing life-changing 

opportunities as well as teaching them the key core values of Respect, Leadership and Community.

Infrastructure Upgrades – Completion of the Cricket Brasil indoor school and high performance center in Poços de 

Caldas, Minas Gerais.

Community Support – Supporting the development of local development officers to help grow the game in the local 

communities.

Craig Allison, CEO, FP Markets commented “FP Markets recognises that being an industry leader requires more than 

just being exceptional in the trading industry. It involves actively engaging with communities and contributing in ways 

that can make a real difference to people’s lives. By Supporting Cricket Brasil we know we are making a real difference

 to the lives of young Brazilians and leaving a long-lasting positive impact on the local community through the glorious 

game and values set by cricket”

Matt Featherstone, President Cricket Brasil “Partnerships like this make all the difference. The expansion of Cricket Brasil 

as a direct result of this partnership will provide more opportunities for young Brazilians to play the great game as well 

as join our University Scheme which educates more Cricket Development officers who in turn increase local engagement 

and participation.”

Sergio Azevedo, Mayor of Poços de Caldas: “We are very privileged in Poços de Caldas to be known as the home of Cricket 

Brasil. It is a very unique situation in a country synonymous with football that we have more children in the town playing 

Cricket than Football!“

Fara Gorsi, ICC Development Manager, Americas: “The new partnership formed between FP Markets, (an Australian organization) 

and Cricket Brasil is a testament to their unequivocal commitment to the game and positively impacting the lives of thousands 

of young kids. The partnership with FP Markets will aid in the growth and development of the cricket ecosystem. As the natural 

trailblazers in the region, Cricket Brasil continue to strive for progress and we are very excited and proud to see Cricket Brasil 

grow from strength to strength in ICC Americas“
