The postponed match between Fluminense and Ceará, valid for the 12th round of the Brazilian Championship, will be refereed by Flavio Rodrigues de Souza, an official who has already been suspended by the CBF for having harmed the Tricolor.

The mistake occurred in a Fluminense vs. Vitória match in 2024. Flavio awarded a controversial penalty to the Bahia team in the final minutes, which they converted to win 2-1.

Flavio's record in Flu matches is also not good: there have been eight wins, five draws, and nine losses in 22 games.

Against Ceará, Fluminense needs a win to move up to sixth place and enter the Libertadores qualification zone.
