What Clube Atlético Linense does

Clube Atlético Linense is a private Brazilian professional football association (associação civil de direito privado) founded on 12 June 1927 in Lins, São Paulo, and operating under CNPJ 46.204.202/0001-56. Marketed as the 'Elefante da Noroeste' (Elephant of Northwest), the club fields a senior men's team competing in the Paulistão A2 (second-tier state championship) and the Copa Paulista Rivalo, with pathways to the Copa do Brasil and Série D of the Brazilian Championship. It also operates a youth development programme spanning Sub-11 through Sub-20 categories, anchored at the CT Rubens Câmara training centre (inaugurated 2013) and supported by the Prefeitura de Lins and the Associação de Pais.

The club's core assets are its 15,000-seat Estádio Gilberto Siqueira Lopes (Gilbertão, inaugurated 1962, modernized 2011) and the CT Rubens Câmara training facility, which includes two grass pitches, athlete dormitory, semi-Olympic swimming pool, gym, and physiotherapy centre. Ticketing infrastructure spans a physical box office, the TotalTicket online platform, and the BIPFUT mobile application with facial-recognition entry. Merchandise, including home, away, third, and goalkeeper kits in masculine and feminine cuts, is distributed through the Loja Oficial and the third-party Junpé Uniformes online store.

The revenue model combines four streams: (i) matchday ticket and season-pass sales, with three Passaporte tiers priced at R$140 (Bronze), R$210 (Prata), and R$600 (Ouro, bundling a named seat and a jersey) for Paulistão 2024; (ii) sponsorships from Rivalo, Cristalins, Bracol, Parmato, Bump, and Mercantil Junqueira; (iii) licensed official merchandise; and (iv) broadcasting and competition rights distributed through the Federação Paulista de Futebol (FPF) for state-level competitions. Governance is by an elected diretoria and conselho deliberativo, with Samuel Vaz Nascimento serving as President since 28 April 2026.

Revenue model

1. Ticket and Season Pass Sales (Passaportes): The club generates matchday revenue through the sale of individual game tickets and season pass packages (Passaportes Ouro, Prata, Bronze) that grant access to all home games during championships such as the Paulistão. Tickets are sold at stadium gates, via WhatsApp, at the club store, and through the TotalTicket online platform. Additionally, tickets can be purchased via the BIPFUT app with facial recognition.
2. Merchandise Sales: Linense sells official club merchandise including uniforms (home, away, third kit), goalkeeper kits, and related apparel through its official store (Loja Oficial) and via the Junpé Uniformes online store. Revenue from jersey and apparel sales represents a direct consumer revenue stream.
3. Sponsorships: The club receives financial support from named sponsors including Rivalo (betting), Cristalins, Bracol, Parmato, Bump, and others whose logos appear on the official website. These sponsorship relationships provide revenue or value-in-kind in exchange for brand visibility on uniforms, stadium assets, and digital platforms.
4. Broadcasting Rights (Estadual Competitions): As a participant in official competitions organized by the Federação Paulista de Futebol (Paulistão A2, Copa Paulista, youth championships), Linense receives revenue from broadcasting rights associated with these tournaments. The club also participates in Copa do Brasil and Série D of the Brazilian national championship when qualifying through Copa Paulista.
