BETSSON COLOMBIA STRENGTHENS ITS POSITION: SIGNS EX-COLOMBIAN FOOTBALLER AND SPORTS COMMENTATOR NICOLE REGNIER AS NEW AMBASSADOR

Published

Betsson, the global sports betting and online casino operator, announced that Nicole Regnier, Colombian ex-football player and sports commentator, will be the company’s new ambassador in Colombia. Through this alliance, Betsson Colombia reaffirms its commitment to work together with sports experts to continue innovating in the betting industry characterised by an exciting offer with a high level of responsibility.

We are very excited to start working with Nicole Regnier, one of the first Colombian players to compete in European football and to recognise the qualities and talent that exist in our country. I am certain that together with Nicole and our regional ambassador, Mario Alberto Yepes, we will advance in our purpose of being a company recognised for its sports experience and an exciting portfolio of services,” said Santiago Melo, Country Manager for Betsson Colombia.

Nicole Regnier had a professional career of 10 years, where she competed in different clubs of high national and international recognition such as CD Atlas, Atlético Madrid, Rayo Vallecano, América de Cali and Servette FC Chenois Feminin. Likewise, she was part of the players who played in the first Women’s League in Colombia. Playing with América de Cali, she reached the quarterfinals, being eliminated by Independiente Santa Fe club that would become the first champion of the women’s competition in the country.

At the national team level, Nicole Regnier was part of the squad that participated in the 2012 South American Women’s U-17 Championship, where the team placed third in the tournament, which gave them a place in the U-17 Women’s World Cup held in Azerbaijan.

In 2021 Nicole announced her retirement from professional football; however, at the same time, she revealed her plans to maintain a relationship with sports, so she made official her new role as a sports commentator. During that year she worked for Win Sports analysing the Colombian Women’s League. In 2022, she joined ESPN to be part of the network’s national talent. Since then, she has been part of the different analysis programs, in addition to being a sports commentator, where she has contributed to strengthening the role of women in sports.

“I am very happy and full of expectations for what we are going to build in the future with Betsson, as it is a company with which I have a lot in common. First of all, there is the passion for soccer; but we also share interests regarding the creation of more spaces for women in sports and, in general, regarding the strengthening of sports activities in the country,” said Nicole Reigner.

With this collaboration, Betsson continues its commitment to work with sports professionals in the development and implementation of an innovative and exciting experience which, in turn, contribute to strengthening the betting industry and Colombian sports. An example of this is Betsson’s recent sponsorship of one of the most important sporting events of the year: the CONMEBOL Copa América Women, which was won by Brazil and in which Colombia placed second. In addition to boosting brand recognition in Latin America, Betsson supported this tournament to further promote gender equality in sports and to showcase the talent of female soccer players.

Betsson has entered a new two-year partnership with Peristeri BC, a well-established Athens club with more than 50 years of history, competing in the top tier of Greek basketball and in European competitions. As part of the agreement, the team will now compete under its official name, Peristeri Betsson BC.

This collaboration reflects Betsson’s continued investment in Greek sport. With more than six decades of heritage and operations across 24 countries, Betsson’s strategy in Greece is centred around supporting historic clubs, strengthening local communities and contributing to the broader development of sport in the country. Following Mykonos Betsson and Aris Betsson, Peristeri Betsson BC represents the next step in building a network of sponsorships that carry meaningful cultural and community impact.

For Peristeri, the partnership provides strong strategic backing for the club’s competitive ambitions and its long-term mission to remain a reference point within Greek basketball. Both organisations share a commitment to professionalism, consistency and delivering high-quality experiences to fans. The collaboration will also include a suite of social impact initiatives focused on youth, education, equality and access to sport in Peristeri.

Andreas Nikolopoulos, Commercial Director at Betsson, said: “It is a great pleasure for all of us at Betsson to stand alongside a club with such a strong history and identity as Peristeri, a club that has been a reference point in Greek basketball for decades and continues to grow thanks to the steady and methodical work of its management. We do not view this merely as a sponsorship but as a strategic alliance. We share the same values with Peristeri, professionalism, consistency and a constant commitment to offering high-quality experiences to fans. We are committed to supporting them throughout this journey and we wish the team a season full of health, energy and success.”

Manos Kotsis, General Manager of Peristeri Betsson BC, said: “We are now officially Peristeri Betsson and will be for the next two years. Our approach is based on two pillars: reconnecting with our local community and bringing people back to the arena, and restoring Peristeri’s identity as a club that develops talent, whether local or international. We believe we have made meaningful progress over the past two years, but both goals require strong organisation, planning and method. We are delighted that Betsson is by our side supporting this effort and enabling us to move forward with greater confidence.”
