Improvements in club planning and management are also linked to CBF investment. Under the current administration, which began a year ago, the entity started implementing Financial Fair Play, strengthened dialogue with clubs for the joint development of the Brazilian football calendar, invested in semi-automated offside technology, which is currently being tested, among other initiatives that contribute to strengthening the teams and advancing national football.
