This Wednesday, Grêmio officially submitted an urgent request for review to the president of the Superior Court of Sports Justice (STJD), Dr. Luis Otávio Veríssimo Teixeira, regarding the preliminary injunction presented by the court's Prosecutor's Office on October 7th.
On that occasion, the Prosecutor's Office accepted the club's argument to suspend the effects of the cards given to defender Walter Kannemann (red) and full-back Marlon Rodrigues Xavier (3rd yellow) during the match against Bragantino, held on October 4th, for the Brasileirão.
Grêmio's request emphasizes that the measure is essential to ensure that the athletes can be automatically eligible to play in the match this Thursday at Arena do Grêmio against São Paulo, for the 28th round of the national competition. The match kicks off at 7 PM (Brasília time).
In the filed text, the club reinforces the legal robustness of the request and asks the president of the STJD to analyze and grant the injunction as soon as possible, emphasizing that the granting is the only way to suspend the effects of the penalties deemed unjust.
Check out the excerpt from the official request filed by Grêmio to the STJD:
“In view of the above, and with additional elements demonstrating the legal robustness of the request, Grêmio Foot-Ball Porto Alegrense reiterates its request for Your Excellency, as a matter of urgency, to kindly review and grant the preliminary injunction requested by the Prosecutor's Office.”
“The granting is the only measure capable of suspending the effects of the cards unjustly applied to athletes Walter Kannemann and Marlon Rodrigues Xavier, ensuring their participation in the match on October 16, 2025, and, above all, ensuring that sports justice prevails over error.”
