Flamengo v Libra: group warned of TV rule loophole before row erupted | OneFootball

Flamengo took legal action and managed to block the payments

The backstage battle between Flamengo and Libra continues with new developments each day. However, even before the dispute with the Most Beloved, the organization's leadership had already been warned that the contract division rule was incomplete.

According to the website 'UOL', Libra was alerted in 2024 that the rule for dividing the Brazilian Championship contract was incomplete before the dispute with Flamengo. However, the organization ignored the warning.

WHAT IS THE DISPUTE WITH FLAMENGO?

The audience criterion in the contract division motivated the dispute between Flamengo and Libra. The value represents 30% of the total R$ 1.3 billion. Due to the lack of agreement between the parties, the Most Beloved took legal action and managed to block R$ 77 million.

HOW WAS THE AGREEMENT SIGNED?

In September of last year, the parties established the basic audience rule, which determines an equal division for each club. Furthermore, it provides a weighting according to the revenues of each platform, including open TV, cable TV, and pay-per-view.

Thus, the previous management of Flamengo in 2024, still led by Rodolfo Landim, believes it signed a basic premise regarding the audience criterion. The management advocated the need to detail and define exactly how this criterion would work.

AND NOW, FLAMENGO?

While the court keeps the payments blocked, Flamengo continues working for the rest of the season. The red-black team faces Botafogo on October 15th, at Nilton Santos Stadium, for the 28th round of the Brazilian Championship.

Thus, Coluna do Fla brings all the information about the match, which starts at 7:30 PM (Brasília time). Additionally, CazéTV, via YouTube, will broadcast the match for free to the fans.
