Fluminense is among the Brazilian clubs participating in an international immersion promoted by the CBF in some of the world’s top football leagues. According to journalist Pedro Ivo from ESPN, the initiative takes representatives from 38 clubs in the country to closely observe the workings of the Premier League (England), LaLiga (Spain), and Bundesliga (Germany).

Representing the Tricolor das Laranjeiras, administrative coordinator Marcelo Penha is part of the Brazilian delegation. The trip lasts 10 days and is fully funded by the Brazilian Football Confederation.

According to the CBF, the goal of the project is the institutional development and training of managers in Brazilian football, using consolidated European models as a reference. Among the topics discussed during the immersion are governance, refereeing, financial fair play, competition organization, league management, and the use of technology in football.

All clubs from Series A and B of the Brazilian Championship were invited, with only São Paulo and Ponte Preta not participating. Fluminense’s presence reinforces the club’s interest in staying up to date and aligned with international best practices in sports management.

CBF president Samir Xaud highlighted the importance of this exchange.

“We will carry out this immersion to discuss and exchange ideas with the world’s leading leagues and federations, aiming for a collective effort towards the ongoing evolution of Brazilian football,” he stated.
