FIFA offers a Club Protection Program, created exactly to these situations. This program guarantees compensation to clubs when a player is injured while playing for his country's national team. Compensation is proportional to the athlete's salary, and the amount is paid during the injury recovery period. To be entitled to this compensation, Flamengo needs to follow the deadlines and requirements established by FIFA, as explained by lawyer Eduardo Carlezzo, specialist in sports law. According to him, the club must formalize the request within 28 days after Pedro's injury.
FIFA's payment is only interrupted when the athlete returns to training, which marks the end of coverage. “It ends the moment he resumes training,” highlights Carlezzo. As Pedro's recovery is expected to take approximately nine to twelve months, Flamengo expects to be covered for this period, respecting the program's maximum limit of 365 days.
FLAMENGO HAS ACTIVATION MADE< Although the FIFA Protection Program is a relevant help for clubs, it has its limits. The maximum amount that the entity pays per athlete is R$46.77 million annually. This ceiling was established to ensure that the program is sustainable and can serve multiple clubs in similar situations. In the case of Pedro, the Flamengo a> may receive this compensation over the next few months, as long as the necessary documentation is sent within the stipulated period and the injury is confirmed as long-term.

Pedro had been a key player in the team, with a great impact on the field and an important presence in Brazil's artillery in 2024. His absence represents a serious problem for the Flamengo coach and for the team's attacking strategy, which now needs to look for solutions to cover this loss until the end of the season.
