Official statement: Saulo Mineiro | OneFootball

Ceará SC

Ceará Sporting Club announces that the Superior Court of Sports Justice for Football (STJD) granted, this Friday (09/11), Vovô’s request to convert into a measure of social interest the sanction of a 3 (three)-match suspension that was pending against player Saulo Rodrigues da Silva, “Saulo Mineiro.”

The penalty, imposed on the player by the Ethics and Discipline Committee of the Chinese Football Association before his transfer to Ceará, was deemed impossible to serve in the usual manner, given that the offense originated in a foreign competition (the Chinese Cup). Granting the club’s request, the STJD Presidency converted the suspension into a social obligation of an educational and assistance-related nature, in the amount of R$45,000.00 (forty-five thousand reais).

With the decision, Saulo Mineiro is cleared and available to the coaching staff for this Sunday’s decisive derby (09/13), in Brazil’s Série B Championship.

Ceará Sporting Club thanks its legal department for its efforts in handling the case swiftly before the STJD.
