Vasco make huge backstage move, recruit top name from federal government | OneFootball

Vasco da Gama has a new Vice President of Institutional Relations. The lawyer Alexandre Cordeiro Macedo, former president of the Administrative Council for Economic Defense (Cade), officially took on the position this week. He will be responsible for liaising the club with authorities, public bodies, and strategic market sectors.

With a strong presence in Brasília, where he maintains a law office, Alexandre will be Vasco's direct representative in the federal capital, strengthening the club's political and institutional presence.

The lawyer left the presidency of Cade in July this year. In 2024, he was invited by Pedrinho, president of Vasco, to join the Board of Administration of SAF. However, his nomination was blocked by the Public Ethics Commission of the Presidency of the Republic, which considered there to be a conflict of interest, as Cade also analyzes and decides on mergers and acquisitions involving football clubs.

Now, without restrictions, Alexandre joins the club's political structure and will play a central role in national negotiations.
