The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) released an official statement on Sunday night (05). In the statement, the organization announced that it has suspended 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 from 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 be subjected to training, improvement, and internal evaluation, before returning to their duties.
On Saturday (04), Grêmio strongly protested a penalty awarded in the final minutes of their away match against Bragantino. Then, on Sunday (05), the performance of Ramon Abatti Abel and the VAR officials drew attention in the São Paulo vs Palmeiras derby.
One of the most controversial moments was the non-awarding of a penalty for São Paulo. On that occasion, Allan tackled Tapia inside the box, but neither Abatti Abel nor the VAR intervened. In the end, Palmeiras won 3-2 at Morumbis.
Amidst these events, Flamengo is also continuing to voice complaints. 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 errors.
