Flamengo call meeting to address row with Libra | OneFootball

Flamengo 'blocked' Libra's funds regarding club broadcasting rights

The dispute between Flamengo, Libra, and Globo remains 'heated' behind the scenes of Brazilian football. Thus, the Rubro-Negro has called the club's advisors for a meeting next Tuesday (07), in the Noble Hall of Gávea, to address the situation with the group.

The meeting will start at 6 PM (Brasília time) and is expected to end at 8:30 PM (Brasília time). The meeting will be held in a hybrid format. That is, those who cannot attend in Gávea next Tuesday (07) will be able to follow it virtually.

What is happening between Flamengo and the Libra teams?

Currently, Flamengo, led by president Luiz Eduardo Baptista, is seeking a solution for the adjustment in the values the club receives from broadcasting rights. This is because, in the view of the current Rubro-Negro management, the issue is outdated.

However, clubs participating in Libra, such as Palmeiras, Santos, Vitória, and Atlético-MG, have shown dissatisfaction with this. The teams, in fact, are not even willing to discuss this issue.

What are the impacts of Flamengo's action?

Due to the lawsuit filed by Flamengo, part of the TV contract money is frozen, amounting to R$ 77 million. Moreover, if the freeze continues until the end of the year, it means that about R$ 230 million will be under discussion in court.

What is Flamengo's next match?

Meanwhile, Flamengo remains focused on the next commitment of the season. This Sunday (05), Mengão faces Bahia at 6:30 PM (Brasília time), at Arena Fonte Nova, for the 27th round of the Brasileirão.

As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will provide the best coverage on the internet, through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, SporTV (cable channel) and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the Flamengo vs. Bahia match.
