Representatives of clubs from Serie A and Serie B and of state federations took part in debates about the American league

Avaí Futebol Clube vice president Carlos Schmidt represented Leão in a CBF program in the United States. The meeting, with the participation of representatives of clubs from Serie A and Serie B of the Brazilian Championship, presidents of State Federations, and officials from the CBF itself, is part of the discussions that have been taking place since the beginning of the year for the modernization of Brazilian football. In addition to a visit to Major League Soccer (MLS), there were discussions about the American model for raising funds and developing commercial strategies for the American Football League. The travel expenses were fully paid by the CBF, which invited the participants to attend Brazil’s opening match.“At this moment, when we are discussing changes in the structure of Brazilian football, it is very important for us to learn about an experience like that of MLS, which has been extremely successful in raising funds and creating commercial strategies,” says Schmidt.The event held in New York is a continuation of the work that began in January of this year, when a delegation led by the CBF took part in meetings with executives from the Premier League, the Bundesliga, and La Liga to learn about different models of sports and commercial management in professional football. This time, during the visit to MLS headquarters, the participants learned about the strategies that led to the recent growth of MLS, especially in areas such as commercial properties.
