CBF plans to cut number of clubs relegated to Série B in Brasileirão | OneFootball

What other topics will be discussed by the CBF?

One of the changes requested by some clubs in the Brasileirão is about reducing the number of teams relegated in the championship. For this reason, the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) informed the teams that it will discuss the topic.

According to information from GE, some clubs in the Brazilian Championship advocate reducing the number of relegated teams from four to three from Serie A to B. Thus, it would also imply reducing the number of promotions from B to A from four to three.

What other points will be discussed by the CBF?

In addition to discussing the reduction of relegated teams, the CBF also intends to debate the use of synthetic turf and the limit on foreign players. Currently, each team can list nine players born outside Brazil per game.

Recently, some clubs have requested to decrease the number of foreign players per match in the Brasileirão. This is because, according to the teams, the development of young athletes in Brazil is being hindered.

Is there already a set date for the CBF meeting with the clubs?

The CBF, however, has not yet set a date to talk with the clubs about the topics. The trend is that the entity will enter into discussions with the teams in the first half of 2026, before the Copa do Brasil.
