CBF visits Mato Grosso do Sul FA, reviews 2026 season plans | OneFootball

The CBF arrived in Campo Grande this week for an institutional visit to the Mato Grosso do Sul Football Federation (FFMS). The organization was represented by the Director of Development and Projects, Matheus Senna, who was introduced to the federation's planning for the 2026 season, with 20 competitions planned, and the projects for the coming years.

Senna was welcomed by Estevão Petrallás, president of the FFMS, Lincoln Fonseca, the entity's superintendent, Endrigo Zotelli and Gildo Andrade, respectively the director and marketing consultant, and the lawyer Rafael Meirelles.

The agenda detailed the planning for the robust 2026 season, which will feature more than 1600 matches distributed across 20 competitions organized by the FFMS, covering, in addition to professional football, both male and female youth categories, in an effort by the federation to expand the calendar and thus generate more opportunities for clubs, athletes, and football professionals in the state.

"This type of agenda is fundamental because it allows us to be closer to the federations, understand the local reality directly, and better know the challenges and opportunities each state faces in football development. The CBF has been seeking to expand this dialogue so that we can work more collaboratively with the federations, identifying ways to support projects and strengthen the football ecosystem throughout the country,” said Senna.

The CBF director congratulated the federation team and left the door open for alignment between the parties to turn into future projects carried out in partnership. “I leave this visit with a very positive impression of the work being developed by President Estevão Petrallás and his team. Our goal is precisely this: to maintain an open dialogue, understand the needs of each region, and seek concrete ways to contribute to the growth and organization of Brazilian football in all its dimensions,” he concluded.
