Fluminense elections: key proposals and positions from Ademar Arrais

Ademar Arrais, candidate from the “O Fluminense Tem Pressa” ticket (number 30), positions himself as an alternative for change. He promises to implement deep structural reforms, focusing on governance, professionalization, and transparency, and is highly critical of the current management model.

Rejection of the current SAF model: Although he is not opposed to the idea of a SAF, Arrais rejects the current proposal, stating that it favors investors and does not protect the club’s interests. He proposes independent audits, a real evaluation of assets (including the youth academy and youth categories), and open competition before any final decision is made.
Financial transparency and administrative reform: Arrais claims that the club’s debts are greater than what is officially disclosed, reaching over R$ 1 billion, and criticizes long-term contracts and renewals that have burdened the club. He proposes strict compliance, limits on contracts, regular audits, and holding executives accountable for financial decisions.
Restructuring of football and the youth academy: For Arrais, professional football should be completely separated from the social and Olympic departments. He proposes independent budgets, professional management, shielding the young talents from Xerém, competitive salaries for academy staff, and a requirement for “minimum playing time” before selling promising players to avoid rushed sales.
Governance, transparency, and member participation: He proposes statutory updates, transparent functioning of the Deliberative Council, active oversight, independent audits, and more effective participation of members in decision-making. He advocates for an end to the concentration of power and for less personalized management.

Why is the election important?

The vote this Saturday (29), at Laranjeiras, will determine the group responsible for leading the club’s strategic issues, such as investments in football, structural projects, financial planning, and guidelines for the youth academy and Olympic sports—a moment that will shape the entire future of Fluminense.
