FOR JOURNALIST, LIBRA AND LFU COULD INCREASE THE FINANCIAL GAP BETWEEN CLUBS EVEN FURTHER

The leagues formed by Brazilian clubs to reorganize football failed in their fundamental missions. Instead of taking control of all aspects of the football universe, from the organization of championships to the financial part, the leagues were left with only the last part. And even in this aspect, there are many problems. Journalist Rodrigo Capelo pointed out the main one.

In a column published this Monday (1) in O Globo, Rodrigo Capelo states that the decisions taken by Libra and Liga Forte União in recent months will worsen the revenue gap between clubs in two entities. Flamengo, which leads Libra, is on the side that will probably come out on top in this dispute.

For Capelo, two https://gazetadourubu.com/noticia/de-olho-no-rival-millonarios- there-are-8-absences-against-flamengo-for-the-libertadores-debut will impact the clubs' finances in the future. The first was the LFU's decision to sell 20% of the bloc's commercial revenues for 50 years to private investors. Libra even negotiated with the Arab fund Mubadala, but did not reach an agreement. As a result, Libra clubs receive 100% of everything that is negotiated, while LFU clubs receive only 80%.

Libra's contract with Globo puts Flamengo at an advantage

The other decision that will impact the finances of Brazilian clubs is the sale of broadcasting rights for the Brazilian Championship. Libra negotiated with Grupo Globo from 2025 to 2029 and the clubs are already receiving advances. Meanwhile, the LFU is still looking for partners, but it will be difficult to find any group that pays more than Globo.

Rodrigo Capelo offers an emergency solution so that the financial gulf between Libra and LFU clubs does not close worsen even more. For the journalist, LFU clubs need to change the contract that gives 20% of their commercial rights to private investors. Without this, the difference will only increase in future years.
