On Monday (2), a new commission was formed with the aim of discussing the implementation of Financial Fair Play in Brazil. The group is made up of clubs such as Flamengo and Palmeiras, who are looking for ways to adapt the rule to the particularities of national football. Leila Pereira, president of Palmeiras, was one of the strongest voices in the discussion. In a blunt statement, she called for more responsibility from club boards in financial management. Pereira highlighted that Financial Fair Play should not be seen just as a rule to be complied with, but as an essential tool to guarantee the sustainability of teams.

Financial Fair Play, created by UEFA, aims to control club spending and ensure that they do not spend more than they earn, promoting more balanced financial management. The idea is to prevent clubs from taking on excessive debt and guarantee a fairer level of competition between teams. The formation of the commission with Flamengo, Palmeiras and other clubs signals a significant step in the attempt to implement these rules more effectively in Brazil. The proposal is to discuss and adjust the rule so that it better fits the reality of Brazilian clubs, which face unique financial challenges.

FLAMENGO HAS "EYES OPEN" 

The main objective of commission is to establish guidelines that help control club spending without harming growth and investment in football. The intention is to create a balance between the need for investment to improve the teams and the obligation to maintain the financial health of the clubs.

Leila Pereira, in her statement, made an appeal for club boards to be more responsible and transparent in their management. She highlighted that compliance with financial rules must be a priority for all clubs and that it is essential that everyone is committed to more responsible management.

In a post on Instagram, the mayor informed that the city hall will be responsible for removing the megastructure on the gas meter site, different from what was reported. Furthermore, he guaranteed that Flamengo will have its new stadium, with the best conditions and security.

The news published by Ancelmo informs that Flamengo would have to pay R$100 million to remove a large gas structure present on land acquired by the club, which is owned by CEG and CEG-Rio, which are companies that are part of the gas concessionaire Naturgy.


According to the article, the companies were informed that Flamengo is the responsible for bearing the expenses, as provided for in one of the annexes to the land purchase and transfer contract. The clause, however, does not have a specified limit.


Eduardo Paes guarantees that the removal is the responsibility of Rio's city hall.

“They are making me defend @flamengo more than I would like: let it be clear that this is not the The cost of this transfer and when it happens will be the responsibility of the city of Rio, which knows that this structure cannot be in an area that is already receiving so many residential buildings. It's been in our plans for a long time! Flamengo will have its new stadium there in the gasometer with all the quality and safety that the region demands and deserves. Period!”, published the mayor.

Durcésio Mello, president of Botafogo, mocked the recent demand by Flamengo and other Brazilian clubs for financial fair play regulation. According to the black and white president, Flamengo has no reason to complain, especially after the high-impact signings made in the last transfer window.

“That's from the guys from Gávea. They're joking... Are they going to talk about financial fair play? Ten years ago, 15 years ago, Flamengo earned R$100 million more per year than Botafogo, than Fluminense, Cruzeiro, Atlético-MG… If you put that in the timeline it comes to R$1.5 billion alone in broadcasting rights, and now they’re talking about financial fair play?”, said the director.

“The funniest thing is that they talk right after the 4-1 defeat. And even funnier, right after then they bring in Alex Sandro for R$1.8 million in salary, Michael earning R$2 million… What financial fair play?”, concluded Durcésio Mello in an interview with 'Panorama Glorioso'.


FLAMENGO WITH REVENUES OVER R$1 BILLION


It is worth remembering that Flamengo grossed more than R$1 billion in the last two seasons. This allows the club to make significant signings, given the high revenue it maintains. The expectation is that Rubro-Negro will once again surpass the R$ 1 billion mark by the end of 2024.

MEETING ON FINANCIAL FAIR PLAY


Last Monday (02) , a meeting organized by the National Club Commission took place, with the participation of Flamengo, Palmeiras, São Paulo, Vasco, Fluminense, Internacional, Fortaleza and Atlético-GO. The clubs began to discuss the implementation of financial fair play for the 2025 Brasileirão, with the intention of expanding the debate to the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF).
