Botafogo de Futebol e Regatas signs deal with Estapar to transform Nilton Santos parking

The Botafogo SAF welcomed Estapar as the new manager of the Nilton Santos Stadium parking lot, starting operations in the first half of July 2026. The package includes automation technology, digitalization, and the innovative Estapar Reserva service, allowing fans to reserve spots before even leaving home.

How does advance reservation work?

Through the Zul+ app, supporters can secure a spot for the July 16 and 23 matches, as well as concerts and cultural events. The process is swift: insert the promotional code sent by the club and validate the CPF registered in the Camisa 7 program. This integration cuts surprises and gives predictability when arriving at the stadium.

Why does the partnership help member‑supporters?

Camisa 7 participants – plans Branco, Preto, Alvinegro and Glorioso – keep their parking discount, now with a fully digital journey. The benefit is activated directly in the Zul+ app, ensuring speed and safety. Estapar CEO Emilio Sanches noted that the company’s 45‑year expertise combined with mobility tech will simplify drivers’ experience.

Impact on Botafogo’s current situation

With the team sitting 6th in Serie A, holding 63 points (17 wins, 12 draws, 9 losses) and showing recent form W‑D‑D‑W‑W, the infrastructure upgrade could positively affect fan support in upcoming fixtures. Botafogo has scored 58 goals and conceded 38, a +20 goal difference, yet remains 16 points behind leaders Flamengo in the title race.

What to expect in the next matches?

Estapar’s operation will be tested in the July 16 and 23 games, when Botafogo faces rivals still battling for classification spots. The expectation is that the added convenience will boost attendance and improve the atmosphere at Nilton Santos, reinforcing the club’s image of innovation pursued in recent years.
