Official statement - Saulo Mineiro | OneFootball

Ceará SC

Ceará Sporting Club announces that the Superior Court of Sports Justice for Football (STJD) granted, this Friday (09/11), Vovô’s request to convert the sanction of a 3 (three)-match suspension pending against player Saulo Rodrigues da Silva, “Saulo Mineiro,” into a measure of social interest.

The penalty, imposed on the player by the Ethics and Discipline Committee of the Chinese Football Association before his transfer to Ceará, was deemed impossible to serve in the ordinary manner, given that the violation originated in a foreign competition (the Chinese FA Cup). Granting the club’s request, the STJD Presidency converted the suspension into a social obligation of an educational and assistance nature, in the amount of R$ 45,000.00 (forty-five thousand reais).

With the decision, Saulo Mineiro is cleared to play and available to the coaching staff for this Sunday’s decisive derby (09/13), in Brazil’s Série B Championship.

Ceará Sporting Club thanks its legal department for its dedication in handling the case swiftly before the STJD.
