Flamengo send message to CBF after win over Sport in the Brasileirão

What did Flamengo say to the CBF?

The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) has adopted a new methodology to improve the level of refereeing in the Brasileirão. Thus, Flamengo issued an official statement this Sunday (16) congratulating the entity for the initiative.

What did Flamengo publish about the CBF?

“The Clube de Regatas do Flamengo publicly values the actions promoted by the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF), under the leadership of President Samir Xaud, to elevate the standard of refereeing in the country. The club considers that the gathering of national referees for intensive training periods, conducted since October by the entity at Granja Comary, is an initiative that has already been showing results. Flamengo believes that continuous training, in person, contributes to improving the performance of referees and reducing the rate of errors in matches. Furthermore, the support of psychologists and attention to mental health have been fundamental for decision-making in this moment of extreme pressure, which is the final stretch of the championships.

The Clube de Regatas do Flamengo recognizes that such actions represent an important step in the process of professionalizing refereeing, a central theme of the meeting held last Monday (11/10), which was attended by several clubs and signaled a path of greater structure, clarity, and responsibility for the sector.
