Backstage pressure: Leven Siano demands seat on Vasco SAF board | OneFootball

The political turmoil surrounding the institutional and corporate restructuring of Vasco gained another major development this week. Council member Leven Siano publicly and emphatically demanded his group’s participation on the Board of Directors of Vasco SAF. The lawyer and Benemérito stressed that the company’s corporate governance must, without exception, follow the applicable rules and respect the technical recommendations issued by the statutory bodies of the club association.

The demand comes at a time of intense internal movement at Colina Histórica. The night before, the Deliberative Council met to approve the financial statements and accounts of president Pedrinho’s administration for the year 2025. Against this backdrop of financial review and calls for transparency, the group led by Leven argues that occupying this seat on the SAF is both a right and an oversight duty provided for in the governance structure.

Leven’s statement shines a light on the oversight role of the club’s internal bodies, calling for full alignment with the club’s collective decisions. Club officials have been under constant pressure to define the space each political faction should occupy at the football company’s decision-making table, especially after the recent legal back-and-forth involving corporate control of the assets.

In light of the statement, the debate over the composition and level of influence of the club association in the SAF’s strategic decisions has once again gained momentum in the corridors of São Januário. The call for greater administrative rigor and compliance with the Beneméritos’ guidance comes alongside the president’s efforts to stabilize football cash flow before the definitive arrival of a new commercial investor in the market.
