The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) released an official statement on Sunday night (05). In the statement, the organization affirms that it has removed the central referees and VAR officials from the matches between Bragantino vs Grêmio and São Paulo vs Palmeiras.
The CBF Refereeing Commission informs that the central and video (VAR) referees of the matches Red Bull Bragantino vs Grêmio and São Paulo vs Palmeiras, valid for the 27th round of the 2025 Campeonato Brasileiro Série A, will undergo training, improvement, and internal evaluation, before returning to their duties.
On Saturday (04), Grêmio complained heavily about a penalty awarded in the final minutes of the match against Bragantino, away from home. Then on Sunday (05), the performance of Ramon Abatti Abel and the video referees drew attention in the classic between São Paulo and Palmeiras.
One of the most controversial moments was the non-awarding of a penalty to São Paulo. On that occasion, Allan tackled Tapia inside the box, but neither Abatti Abel nor the VAR intervened. In the end, Palmeiras ended up winning 3-2 at Morumbis.
Amidst these events, Flamengo is also continuing to complain. This Sunday (05), in fact, José Boto spoke out after the match against Bahia and called for a severe response from the CBF regarding refereeing mistakes.
