Statement of condemnation | OneFootball

Botafogo expresses its repudiation of the criminal acts committed against Ceará Sporting Club president João Paulo Silva and his family this Thursday (25).

It is unacceptable for any football professional or their family members to be targets of threats, intimidation, or any form of violence. Episodes like this, especially when they put the integrity and safety of innocent people at risk, have no justification whatsoever and must be fought with rigor.

Botafogo stands in solidarity with João Paulo Silva and his family at this time, reiterating the importance of having the facts investigated by the competent authorities so that those responsible are identified and punished.
