Another dispute began in the courts for the title of the 1987 Brazilian Championship. Almost 40 years after the end of the competition, in a virtual session of the Second Panel of the Federal Supreme Court, this Friday (10), the trial of Flamengo's new request to share the 1987 Brazilian championship title.
The rapporteur of the case, minister Dias Toffoli, voted in favor of maintaining Sport as the only and authentic champion of the 1987 Brazilian Championship. takes place in the virtual plenary, without the need for debates.
During the vote, rapporteur Dias Toffoli stated that “resignation does not deserve to prosper” and highlighted that both the Court of Justice of Rio de Janeiro and the Justice Federal Court of Pernambuco already understood that the 1987 title belongs to Sport, as did the First Panel of the Federal Supreme Court.
“As established in the decision now appealed, it can be seen from the records that the Eighteenth Civil Chamber of the Court of Justice of the State of Rio de Janeiro confirmed the existence of a legal claim proposed by Sport Clube do Recife against the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) and the Union, in which the author of said action, Sport Clube do Recife, was recognized as the legitimate Brazilian professional football champion of 1987, with the sentence becoming final”, wrote the rapporteur.
“It appears, in the hypothesis under analysis, that, as stated in the aggravated decision, it appears correct is the conclusion reached by the Court of Justice of the State of Rio de Janeiro that the Federal Supreme Court recognized, definitively and by final judgment on 3/16/18, that the sentence handed down by the Federal Court of Pernambuco declared, in a undisputed, Sport Clube Recife as the only and legitimate champion of the 1987 Brazilian football tournament”, he highlighted.
In addition, the minister condemned Flamengo to pay 1% of the updated value of the case, if the vote must be unanimous. “If legal fees are previously fixed by the originating bodies, their monetary value will be increased by 10% (ten percent) to the detriment of the appellant”, said Toffoli.
They are still being awaiting the votes of the other four ministers: André Mendonça, Nunes Marques, Edson Fachin and Gilmar Mendes. Magistrates have until the 17th to vote.

Second panel of the STF will decide

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.
