Is the word patrocinador the same in Brazilian and European Portuguese?

Yes

The word is identical in meaning, spelling, and grammar. The only difference is pronunciation. In Brazilian Portuguese, the vowels are generally more open and clearly articulated, and the "r" at the end of the word is often pronounced with a distinct aspiration or a retroflex sound (depending on the region). In Continental Portuguese, the vowels are much more closed or "swallowed," and the final "r" is much more subtle or nearly silent.
