Claro Brasil signed a sponsorship and technology supplier deal with Nubank Parque in Sao Paulo on September 9, 2026, to bring commercial 5.5G and a Wi-Fi 6 network to the home stadium of Brazilian football club Palmeiras. Previously, on September 8, Colombia's communications sector watchdog CRC published a technical opinion warning of "significant" vertical risks posed by Claro's proposed acquisition of wholesale fibre provider Azteca Comunicaciones; Claro had earlier announced its intention to acquire the telecommunications assets of Azteca Comunicaciones Colombia and Total Play Comunicaciones Colombia from Mexican conglomerate Grupo Salinas. On September 4, Claro Colombia reached the milestone of over 100 cities connected to its 5G network across the country, an increase from 78 cities in July. This followed a September 3 response by Claro and Desktop to an inquiry from the Brazilian competition authority CADE regarding their merger review, where they stated their deal would reduce network infrastructure occupancy. Earlier, on September 2, Claro Colombia announced a USD 123 million investment over five years to expand and modernize its Triara data centre in Bogota and Megacenter facility in Medellin, aiming to boost capacity for cloud services, AI, advanced analytics, and intensive data processing.
