Libra clubs strike deal, Flamengo to get R$ 150m by 2029

Flamengo won legal dispute after requesting a contract review

Behind the scenes of Brazilian football remain busy this Tuesday (28). Libra reached an agreement to end the internal dispute over amounts related to the broadcast rights for the 2025 Brasileirão from 2025 to 2029. As a result, Flamengo will receive R$ 150 million more during this period.

According to information from the newspaper Estadão, the clubs’ lawyers are now exchanging contract drafts to finalize the new deal. The expectation is that the final version of the document will be signed by the end of this week.

HOW DID FLAMENGO FARE?

With the new agreement, Flamengo will receive an additional R$ 150 million over four years, in equal installments of R$ 37.5 million. In addition, the contract amount will be adjusted by the IPCA starting next season.

Finally, the amounts frozen in judicial accounts should be released for transfer. There is R$ 21.1 million in an account maintained by the Rio de Janeiro Court of Justice and another R$ 13.3 million in an account linked to the Brazilian Center for Mediation and Arbitration (CBMA).

DID FLAMENGO WIN THE DISPUTE?

Yes. Flamengo, through president Bap, challenged the contracts signed during the previous administration of Rodolfo Landim. As a result, the club president disputed the amounts and asked for negotiations to revise the figures in the agreement.

However, Bap’s proposal was rejected by the other clubs participating in Libra. Therefore, the Rubro-Negro side went to court and obtained an injunction to suspend the contract with Globo, creating a deadlock in the situation. Mengão stated that the audience figures were incomplete and requested a review.

WHEN DO FLAMENGO PLAY?

Meanwhile, Flamengo remain focused on the season’s upcoming challenges. That is because the Rubro-Negro team take the field this Wednesday (29) at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) against Estudiantes (ARG), away from home, in the Copa Libertadores.

As usual, Coluna do Fla will bring all the information about the match directly from La Plata, with reports from Rock Hudson and Simon Ledo. Finally, TV Globo, on free-to-air television, and Paramount+, via streaming, will broadcast the match.
