CBF organized an international immersion with representatives from Brazilian clubs in three of the main European leagues — Premier League (England), La Liga (Spain), and Bundesliga (Germany) — with all expenses covered by the organization.
The proposal was to present, in detail, management models, governance, refereeing, financial fair play, competition organization, and use of technology, within what the confederation defines as “institutional development and training of the main managers of Brazilian football.”
The invitation was sent to the 40 clubs in Series A and B, but only two did not participate: São Paulo and Ponte Preta.
In the case of the club from Campinas (SP), there was an issue with boarding. As for São Paulo, no representative was appointed.
The invitation reached the club, but it was not treated as a priority amid recent political turmoil, which includes accusations against the board and the impeachment request of president Júlio Casares.
According to the club, the invitation was addressed to Casares, who was unable to accept it.
