Vasco statute plan proposes paid directors and SAF stake cut to 10% | OneFootball

Vasco councillors have proposed a statute reform cutting the club’s minimum SAF stake to 10% and enabling a sale of up to 90%. It also introduces the option of paying senior officials.

According to Globo.com, the draft, begun last year, was circulated to Beneméritos, vice-presidents and other members this week, and no vote has been scheduled.

The change would end the rule that forces executives to wait five years after leaving office before taking paid roles in the SAF, allowing immediate moves.

Pay is envisaged for the elected president and general vice-presidents, roles now unpaid, with amounts set in the Conselho Deliberativo’s annual budget. The president could receive up to 80% of the federal public-service ceiling, currently R$ 46,000. First and second general vice-presidents would be capped at 60%, administrative vice-presidents at 50%.

Remuneration would apply only if an official commits exclusively to the club and remains subject to budget approval, not an automatic right. The draft also tightens governance, sets conflict-of-interest rules, limits debt with strategic exceptions and provides sanctions including removal, ineligibility and reimbursement.

It removes restrictions on social-club councillors joining the SAF, aligns with Law 14.193/2021 and leaves SAF executive hiring to the investor, with oversight mechanisms retained. Vasco are in advanced talks with businessman Marcos Lamacchia over buying the football department. A vote date is pending, with a call possible within 30 days.
