Between May 10th and 17th, the 2nd Panel of the Federal Supreme Court (STF) will write another chapter of the soap opera about the 1987 Brazilian Championship (Copa União) and the "Taça das Bolinhas". Flamengo has been fighting for titles for years. This time, the trial will be virtual. Ministers Dias Toffoli, Gilmar Mendes, Edson Fachin, Nunes Marques and André Mendonça will vote. Any appeal that the parties file after the trial may take the action to the STF plenary.
In December, the Federal Supreme Court, in a decision by Minister Dias Toffoli, denied the extraordinary appeal filed by Flamengo, which contested Sport's declaration as the only Brazilian champion in 1987. The legal dispute involves the well-known “Taça das Bolinhas”, which recognizes the first club to win five Brazilian Championship titles. The decision respects previous judgments that had already recognized Sport as champion. The decision further reaffirms the autonomy of the CBF in its technical decisions.
Flamengo requested recognition as the 1987 Brazilian champion, arguing that the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) has the prerogative to interpret sporting regulations which it itself institutes. The club claimed that, according to the criteria established in the regulations from 1975 to 1992, it would be entitled to definitive possession of the “Taça das Bolinhas”. This trophy was awarded to the first club that won the Brazilian Championship five times (three consecutively or five alternately). Flamengo argued that, based on its technical merits and CBF's internal administrative decisions, it met the requirements to be declared champion, regardless of controversies over the legitimacy of other championships.
Sport defended its position as the only legitimate champion of 1987, supported by previous court decisions that had become final. The Pernambuco club argued that any attempt to change this recognition would violate res judicata, a constitutional guarantee that protects judicial decisions against subsequent reexaminations. This position was reinforced by a sentence from the Federal Court, which prohibited the CBF from modifying the result of the 1987 championship without a unanimous deliberation by its members.
Several judicial instances, including the Superior Court of Justice (STJ ) and the Federal Supreme Court (STF), maintained the decision that Sport is the legitimate champion of 1987. In particular, the STF, in a previous decision in RE 881.864, highlighted the importance of res judicata and stated that the autonomy of the CBF cannot override the authority of a definitive court decision. This stance was reiterated on multiple occasions, solidifying Sport's status as the only recognized champion.
São Paulo, another club in contention for the “Taça das Bolinhas”, was mentioned in the context of the decisions that impacted its claim to the trophy. The court decisions that affirmed Sport's legitimacy as 1987 champions indirectly influenced São Paulo's chances of claiming the trophy, based on their own titles won in alternate years.
Minister Dias Toffoli decided not to follow up on the appeal. He reaffirmed that the matter had already been decided and that the res judicata should be respected. The decision highlighted that the CBF's sporting autonomy does not include the ability to review firm judicial decisions, and that controversies over titles and regulations cannot be reevaluated by the judiciary without violating res judicata.

On Thursday night (4), the Brazilian National Team beat Chile 3-0, at Maracanã , in a duel valid for the penultimate round of the South American Qualifiers. Already qualified for the 2026 World Cup, the team led by Carlo Ancelotti played its third match under the new coach and once again excited the fans.
Estêvão, Paquetá, and Bruno Guimarães scored the winning goals in front of more than 57,000 fans at the stadium . The result moved Brazil up to second place in the standings, now with 28 points. Before kickoff, singer Ivete Sangalo entertained the crowd with a 15-minute pocket show.
Brazil started at a strong pace and nearly opened the scoring after just two minutes, with Gabriel Magalhães' header saved by Vigouroux. Casemiro even managed to find the net, but the effort was ruled out for offside.
The persistence resulted in a goal in the 37th minute, after a quick play between João Pedro and Douglas Santos. Raphinha shot, the goalkeeper rebounded, and Estêvão, almost on the line, scored with a bicycle kick. This was the youngster's first goal for the national team, bringing the crowd to life at the Maracanã stadium.
PAQUETÁ AND BRUNO GUIMARÃES SHINE
After the break, the Yellows kept up the pressure, but Chile began to react. Ancelotti, alert, made substitutions that changed the course of the match. Luiz Henrique came on well and, in the 26th minute, made a run down the left and crossed perfectly for Paquetá to head in the second goal, his first attempt of the match.
Shortly after, in the 30th minute, Bruno Guimarães took advantage of a rebound from Luiz Henrique's shot that hit the crossbar and scored the third. The fans gave a standing ovation to the striker's performance, which gave new momentum to the attack. With the victory, Brazil remained firmly in second place in the Qualifiers and will conclude its participation next Tuesday (9), against Bolivia, in El Alto, a city located at an altitude of over 4,000 meters.
The Brazilian team takes to the field at Maracanã this Thursday (4) and will have a game ahead to consolidate Ancelotti's work

Striker Bruno Henrique was punished by the Superior Court of Sports Justice this Thursday (29), with a 12-game suspension and a fine of R$60,000. The decision, valid for national competitions, does not prevent the athlete from playing in the Libertadores at this time , but there is an expectation that the case will be forwarded to FIFA, which could increase the effects of the sanction.
The sentence handed down by the Superior Court of Justice (STJD) affects competitions such as the Brazilian Championship and the Brazilian Cup, limiting the striker's participation in the national competition. However, for now, he remains available to play in the Copa Libertadores . If the court requests an extension from FIFA and the governing body of football complies, Bruno Henrique will also be sidelined for the international competition.
Flamengo 's board confirmed that it will appeal the decision, seeking a reduction in the penalty imposed on the number 27. There is the possibility of requesting a suspensive effect, which could allow the player to attend matches until the appeal is analyzed by the STJD Plenary, the highest court in the sporting sphere.
Bruno Henrique, a defendant in both sports and civil courts, was not present in person at the trial, held in Rio de Janeiro. The striker testified remotely, as his presence at the court was not mandatory. He was also on a four-day leave granted by the club during the FIFA International Day.
The case investigates the suspicion that Bruno Henrique had informed in advance about the yellow card he received against Santos, in a match held at the Mané Garrincha Stadium, in Brasília, on November 1, 2023. According to the investigations, the information would have benefited his brother, Wander, who passed on the data to third parties linked to sports betting.
