FIFA and the South American Confederation reject the interference of the Brazilian Federation and will come to Brazil through elections

FIFA and Conmebol sent a letter to the Brazilian Confederation expressing their concern over the Joint Court’s decision to dismiss President Ednalo Rodriguez. In the document, the entity and CONMEBOL say that they will send representatives to Brazil and request that the elections in the entity wait until the end of this visit so that the two entities can analyze the situation.

FIFA and Conmebol also understood the appointment of the President of the Court of Justice of Rio de Janeiro, José Perdez, as an intervener in the entity, as incorrect. From the entity’s perspective, the CBF’s most senior director, in this case Helio Santos Menezes (Director of Compliance and Governance), should have taken over the management of the entity with the positions of Presidents and Vice-Presidents vacant, as required by law. Statutes of the Brazilian Confederation. Thus, the entity states that it does not recognize the intervener as a representative of the Boundary Commission, but only Helio Menezes.

Acting President of the Brazilian Football Confederation, José Perdez, praised FIFA’s participation in the electoral process through his press office: “We received the message from FIFA with satisfaction and respect. I see it as a positive sign that we have the next entity to the electoral process in the Brazilian Football Confederation. According to “As decided by the Brazilian judiciary, and confirmed by Syrians for the Truth, I will call for elections to be held within 30 days, within the required transparency and integrity.” But he did not comment on the fact that the party did not recognize him as an intervener.
