In sports, the most notable football (soccer) team in the city is Bragantino, known as Red Bull Bragantino since 2020, after the club signed a deal with Red Bull GmbH in April 2019. The team plays at Estádio Nabi Abi Chedid, which was renamed on January 6, 2009 amid criticism from local residents. It was formerly known as Estádio Marcelo Stéfani, in honor of Marcelo Stéfani, a player and former president of the club.
