Urgent: Vasco supporters’ leaders go to SAF HQ, demand answers | OneFootball

The political and administrative backstage of Vasco SAF took on strong tones of indignation and protest on Tuesday afternoon. As had been anticipated over the weekend, the presidents and directors of Vasco da Gama’s main organized supporters’ groups — Força Jovem, Guerreiros do Almirante, Ira Jovem and Mancha Negra — jointly and peacefully went to the company’s administrative headquarters. The aim of the group was to hold a meeting with corporate representatives to understand the institutional direction of the football operation and demand clear explanations about how the club will be run from now on.

However, the terrace leaders received no official response of any kind from the employees and found that the court-appointed administrator, Samantha Mendes Longo, was not present at her workplace at the time of the visit. The absence of the temporary manager — appointed by the 4th Business Court of Rio de Janeiro after the removal of the elected board — frustrated the representatives of the Vasco fan base, who were seeking to understand the club’s bureaucratic and operational flow during this transition phase.

Demands over football management and support for Pedrinho

Representatives of Vasco supporters emphasized that the central focus of their demands is clarity over the planning of the sporting department, since all company decisions and signatures now depend exclusively on the lawyer’s approval. The organized groups’ biggest concern is knowing how the signing of new players for the first-team squad will be handled and what the real status is of choosing a new head coach for the second half of 2026.

During the mobilization at the SAF offices, the boards of all the organized supporter groups present unanimously and forcefully reiterated their unrestricted support for elected president Pedrinho. In video statements, the leaders made it clear that they defend the legitimacy of the former player’s mandate and are even more concerned about the team’s performance in the Brazilian Championship.

It is worth remembering that Vasco are currently 17th in the competition standings, which means they are in the relegation zone.

Promise of new mobilizations at Vasco SAF headquarters

The lack of dialogue from the provisional judicial administration did not weaken the movement in the stands, which promises to adopt a strict and daily oversight stance over the administrator’s actions. In an official statement released shortly after the episode at the commercial headquarters, the presidents of the organized groups sent a direct message to the executives responsible for the club’s finances, assuring that their demands for transparency will intensify in the coming weeks.

The group of supporters publicly stated that they will seek concrete answers no matter the cost and will return to the administrator’s workplace as many times as necessary until the financial and sporting situation of the football department is properly clarified. The unified demonstration ended with the leaders stressing that the only ideal driving the caravans and the demands is the well-being and future of Vasco da Gama itself.
