⚠️ Club files request to be recognised as 2005 Brazilian champions | OneFootball

On Tuesday (26), Internacional formally submitted to the CBF a request for recognition of the 2005 Brazilian Série A title.

Samir Xaud, the entity’s president, was present at the meeting. 

The material presented by Colorado "addresses the developments of the episode known as the “Whistle Mafia,” which resulted in the annulment of 11 matches from the 2005 Brazilian Championship by decision of the Superior Court of Sports Justice (STJD)."

The scandal ended up changing the standings of the 2005 BR edition, which had Corinthians crowned champions three points ahead of Inter.

If the original scores had been kept, Colorado would have taken the trophy with a one-point lead over Timão. 

In the view of the club from Rio Grande do Sul, the "measure directly impacted the definition of the competition and caused sporting damage to the Club."

Inter’s request is "supported by documents, a specialized technical opinion, public statements by figures involved in the case, and precedents of historical recognitions carried out by the sports entity itself on other occasions."

The official statement released by Colorado makes it clear that there is only a desire for "institutional recognition of the 2005 Brazilian title."

The removal or revocation of the title officially awarded to Corinthians is not under discussion.

The club concludes by stressing that the "objective, according to the documents submitted, is to promote a historical reparation in light of the impacts caused by the decisions made at the time."

Three-time Brazilian champions, Inter have not won since 1979, when they made history by lifting the trophy undefeated.

Something that had never happened before and has not been repeated since.
