Santos president hails club’s progress after CBF technical council meeting | OneFootball

The president of Santos, Marcelo Teixeira, positively evaluated the meeting of the Série A Technical Council, held this Thursday at the CBF headquarters in Rio de Janeiro. The meeting, which set guidelines for the 2026 Brazilian Championship, was attended by representatives of the 20 clubs and members of the entity's new management.

Teixeira emphasized the strategic nature of the discussion and the importance of a continuous dialogue environment between clubs and the federation. For him, the meeting symbolizes an important step towards a more organized and sustainable national football.

“Meetings like this are fundamental for strengthening our football, and the CBF, under the leadership of President Samir Xaud, understood that they can indeed result in future gains or positive agendas for all involved. Discussing the calendar, structure, and topics that directly impact on and off the field allows us to contribute to a general improvement of the product, always thinking of the fans, the competitiveness of the League, and the sustainable development of the clubs. Santos will continue to actively work for Brazilian football to advance institutionally and technically,” stated the Santos executive.

The 2026 edition of the Brasileirão brings significant changes, such as the distribution of spots in the Libertadores and the increase in the limit of matches for athletes to switch clubs during the championship. For Teixeira, this type of debate, conducted transparently, strengthens the relationship between institutions and contributes to a more balanced scenario for all participants.
