Botafogo is far from experiencing a peaceful phase this season. Due to their elimination by Barcelona de Guayaquil (EQU) in the pre-Libertadores, John Textor and other executives of the alvinegra team received death threats.
According to information from GE, Botafogo's executives even filed a police report after receiving threats. John Textor and Alessandro Brito were among the executives whose numbers were leaked.
Due to their elimination in the pre-Libertadores, Botafogo will have to play in the South American Cup in the 2026 season. Flamengo, on the other hand, is guaranteed a spot in the group stage of the competition, as they are the current champions of the tournament.
