The entity presented studies carried out since the beginning of the current administration to show the potential of Brazilian football, whose top division is valued as the sixth most valuable in the world.

The analysis was based on an in-depth look at the league and federation models in England, Germany and Spain. When comparing the structure of the Brasileirão with those of these competitions, benchmarks for world football, areas needing improvement were identified in the calendar, playing time, stadiums, broadcasts, communication and social media, marketing, the exodus of young talents, regulatory governance and the financial situation of clubs.

Before starting this improvement process, the CBF positioned itself as the mediator of the discussion over a single league in Brazil, which the entity sees as necessary for the evolution of national football.

“Nothing we want for Brazilian football will be possible without unity. There will be no progress without unity. And unity requires maturity, dialogue and concessions from all sides. The league needs to belong to the clubs.”, declared Gustavo Dias, CBF vice president.
