The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) decided not to respond to Botafogo's request and confirmed the selection of referee Raphael Claus to referee this Sunday's classic (28), against Flamengo, at Maracanã. The sports entity's decision comes after the black and white club requested the replacement of the São Paulo referee due to alleged involvement in manipulation of results, mentioned during the Football CPI held this week.
Renan Moura, sports reporter, disclosed the information about the CBF's decision on its social network, highlighting the refusal of Botafogo's request and the maintenance of Raphael Claus as referee of the confrontation. The black and white board's request is based on reports during the Football CPI, where John Textor mentioned possible mistakes made by Claus, suggesting possible involvement in match manipulation.
Botafogo's request generated heated discussions and debates in the sporting world, with some fans and members of the press questioning the suitability of the designated referee for the classic. However, the CBF chose to maintain the initial decision, reiterating its confidence in the integrity of Raphael Claus and the impartiality of his performance.
Claus' choice to officiate the classic between Botafogo and Flamengo is not new in the Brazilian football scene. The referee from São Paulo is recognized for his experience and competence, having played in several highly relevant matches on the national and international scene. However, the allegations presented during the Football CPI raised questions about his professional conduct.
In light of the CBF's decision, Botafogo continues to prepare for the clash against Flamengo, seeking to concentrate its efforts on technical preparation and tactics for the important duel at Maracanã. The club's board has not yet made a public statement following the confirmation of Raphael Claus as referee for the match, but it is expected that the topic will continue to be debated behind the scenes in Brazilian football.
The teams play the first game of the quarterfinals at 7 p.m.

This past Tuesday (17), Felipe Motta announced his departure from Flamengo through his social networks, after one season. Now, the athlete will defend Rubro-Negro's rival, Botafogo in NBB 2024/25.
Felipe was revealed as an athlete with great potential. The young man played for the Brazilian National Team's youth teams, went through the NBA Global Academy, the North American league's development program, and played for Fortaleza before arriving at Rubro-Negro last season. He was champion of the Super 8 Cup and was part of the runner-up in the NBB.
However, Felipe only had a few minutes on the court per game and very discreet numbers. The winger played 5 minutes on average per game and had the following statistics: 1.3 points, 0.6 rebounds and 0.4 assists. The young man had more opportunities in LNb 2024 and did well in the fourth place campaign, but both parties reached an agreement and ended the relationship.
FELIPE MOTTA SAYS GOODBYE TO FLAMENGOOn his social networks, Felipe Motta thanked Mais Querido and sent a message to the Nation: “Thank you Flamengo. It was an honor to be part of and play for the red and black nation.”
It is expected that Felipe will have more minutes at Botafogo and can establish himself among the elite of Brazilian basketball. The new NBB 2024/25 season will start in the second week of October, and Mais Querido will face Vasco in the first round.
