What did Leila Pereira, president of Palmeiras, decide before the match against Flamengo?

Flamengo and Palmeiras will face each other in an atmosphere of a ‘premature final’ in the next round of the Brasileirão. Given the weight of the match and the recent controversies involving the teams behind the scenes, Leila Pereira has decided not to attend this Sunday’s (19th) game at Maracanã.

According to ‘ESPN Brasil’, Leila Pereira believes there is no suitable atmosphere for her to be at the stadium amid the disputes with Bap, president of Flamengo. Therefore, the president chose to protect herself and avoid any kind of embarrassment with Flamengo’s fans.

WHAT IS THE CONTROVERSY BETWEEN LEILA PEREIRA AND BAP?

In recent days, Leila Pereira and Bap have been engaged in a ‘battle’ over Libra’s broadcasting rights. This is because the Rubro-Negro does not agree with the revenue sharing among the group’s teams, while the São Paulo club opposes Mengão’s stance.

Furthermore, another point causing conflict between the teams concerns refereeing errors. In recent matches involving the São Paulo club, some referee decisions have even driven the Rubro-Negro crazy.
