The Brasileirão 2024 began with several refereeing controversies and continues to be marked by several referee errors, including against Flamengo. Thus, the CBF received this last Friday (10) a request from the National Association of Football Referees (ANAF) to dismiss Wilson Seneme and change the entity's arbitration commission.


According to the document of ANAF, the Brazilian Championship is going through the worst moment in terms of refereeing. Furthermore, the entity was questioned about the lack of criteria and transparency in the referees' statements on the field, damaging the progress of the tournament.


CHECK OUT THE OFFICIAL RELEASE:


"In light of the latest events involving Brazilian arbitration, which arrived at the CTI with no signs of improvement, the National Association of Football Referees – ANAF, will send a letter to the CBF today asking for the immediate dismissal of Wilson Seneme and his entire commission.

There is a common sense in Brazil that Brazilian arbitration is going through the worst moment in its history and the departure of the current CBF arbitration director could be the way for referees to return to refereeing without fear and with quality on the field of game.


I receive calls every day from arbitration professionals from all over the country who are dissatisfied with the current management. There is also a lack of criteria in the scales and respect for many professionals, including women in management. “Seneme” practically disappeared from Series A of the Brazilian Championship.

In each round, the referee makes mistakes and there is no one on the commission's side to encourage the approximation of criteria, nor to carry out continuous training to improve the performance. level presented this season.

In light of this horror show, we will ask the president of the CBF, Ednaldo Rodrigues, to immediately dismiss the president of the arbitration commission and all members of his department and hire someone that at least the minimum he can do, since just as happened while he was director of referees at Conmebol, Wilson Seneme failed and needs to leave his position before the institutional damage is even worse.”

ERRORS AGAINST FLAMENGO

Since the beginning of the current edition of the Brasileirão, Flamengo has been constantly harmed by arbitration. This is because Mais Querido was harmed in the games against Botafogo and Bragantino. In the classic, the Rubro-Negro complained about a foul on Fabrício Bruno, resulting in an opponent's goal.

Against the Bragança Paulista team, they had two errors. The first was the cancellation of the red card for Luan Cândido after fouling De La Cruz and the second was the push that Luiz Araújo received at the edge of the area and the VAR did not call it.
