Flamengo take a stand against SAFs, big moves behind the scenes | OneFootball

What does Flamengo intend to do against the SAFs?

The methodology of the Sociedade Anônima no Futebol (SAF) has grown in Brazilian football in recent years. However, Flamengo positions itself against the SAFs and hopes that these ‘societies’ will pay more taxes.

According to information from the newspaper O Globo, the Chamber of Deputies will vote on whether or not to increase the tax on SAFs, which could rise from 5% to 8.5%. Flamengo, therefore, is hoping that the increase will happen.

Why does Flamengo hope for a tax increase?

Furthermore, according to the newspaper, the movement to bring the vote forward came from a group aligned with Flamengo, at the request of president Bap. The main objective is to rebalance the competition with the SAFs in Brazilian football.

Which clubs do not support the tax increase?

For this reason, some Brazilian clubs have criticized the proposal, expressing their opposition to the tax increase. These clubs are: Cruzeiro, Atlético-MG, Fortaleza, Coritiba, Cuiabá, and América-MG, as well as the Liga Forte União (LFU).

What is Flamengo focused on now?

In addition to keeping an eye on the Chamber’s proposal, Flamengo is also focusing its attention on the Club World Cup final against PSG (FRA). The match is scheduled for 2:00 PM (Brasília time) this Wednesday (17th), in Doha, Qatar, with broadcasts on Rede Globo (open channel), as well as CazéTV and GETV, both on YouTube.
