Vasco want SAF approved before presidential election | OneFootball

Vasco has put together a behind-the-scenes strategy to speed up the institutional procedures and complete the vote on Vasco SAF with its members before the club’s presidential election. The board led by Pedrinho wants to wrap up the corporate process with Almirante Participações, the company owned by Marcos Lamacchia and Mário Junqueira, so that the election for the next three-year term takes place with the new corporate model already consolidated at São Januário.

The first official commitment will take place at the Deliberative Council meeting scheduled for October 6, where council members will vote on the bylaw reform to reduce the association’s minimum stake from 20% to 10%. The club’s leadership will present the financial terms and the guarantees tied to the judicial restructuring, seeking favorable approval to send the matter directly to the members for deliberation.

Presidential election and SAF procedures at Vasco

The movement surrounding the Extraordinary General Assembly (AGE) is intended to shield Vasco’s political environment, preventing the choice of the new president from interfering with the fulfillment of contractual targets at São Januário. The current president has already confirmed that he will run for reelection for a term lasting until the end of 2029 and is considered a strong favorite behind the scenes, with the possibility of running unopposed given the settlement of the club’s historic liabilities.

Council members will have access to the confidential documents through a virtual room developed with data protection mechanisms, accessible by exclusive password and prior signing of a confidentiality agreement. The measure is intended to prevent the leak of reports and protect the investment planning for the training center and youth academy until the final vote at the polls.

Focus on the Brasileirão and cup decisions

While things are moving quickly in the boardrooms toward the vote, Vasco’s first team is focused on earning crucial points in the Brasileirão in front of its fans at São Januário. The squad is preparing for clashes against Botafogo and Remo in Rio de Janeiro, aiming to open up a definitive gap from the bottom of the table before the decisive trip to face Boca Juniors in the Copa Sudamericana semifinal.

Head coach Pedro Emanuel is maintaining an intensified training routine with the players to secure good results before the knockout match in Buenos Aires. The coaching staff wants to turn the stability generated by the financial transition into sporting fuel in the pursuit of the season’s remaining trophies and to put the club back in contention at the top of the continental stage.
