Flamengo reach agreement with Libra clubs, single league edging closer | OneFootball

Flamengo hosted representatives from other clubs at Gávea this Wednesday (18)

Since Luiz Eduardo Baptista's victory in the Flamengo elections, the club has had friction with the other Libra teams. However, the parties have reconnected and even met at the Gávea headquarters this Wednesday (18). With peace becoming increasingly evident, along with a near agreement with the FFU and CBF, expectations for the creation of a unified league are growing.

The 15 Libra clubs spoke for the first time since Flamengo's action last year to take the group to court over disagreements about the division of money from broadcasting rights. In the assembly held, the main topic was the amounts that the Rubro-Negro should receive.

However, the meeting was suspended and will be rescheduled for another date. The continuation will not occur this Thursday (19), as many of those present will travel to Paraguay, where the draws for the Copa Libertadores da América and the South American Cup will take place.

WHAT DID LIBRA SAY ABOUT THE RECONCILIATION WITH FLAMENGO?

“The reaffirmation of unity around the Association, and the handling of important matters, in addition to the reopening of dialogue between Flamengo and the other Clubs, point to a strengthening of the entity,” says the Libra statement.

WHY WAS THERE A SEPARATION?

Even under Rodolfo Landim's management, Flamengo agreed with Libra on the amount it would receive from the negotiation of broadcasting rights for the Brasileirão games. However, Bap disagreed and requested changes, which were denied by the other teams in the group.

Feeling wronged, as it has by far the largest audience in the country, Flamengo went to court and won, managing to block the transfer of R$ 77 million to the other teams. Subsequently, the decision was overturned. Check below how the group divisions are.
