What did Flamengo say about this matter?

Flamengo continues to fight behind the scenes against teams that are part of Libra to reclaim the amounts received so far. Amid the debate, the Rubro-Negro released an official statement this Wednesday (01) and clarified the controversy on this subject.

SEE OFFICIAL STATEMENT

“Flamengo joined Libra because it wanted to and because it believes in a league. The club wants an agreement, does not impose anything on anyone, and cannot accept imposition. The issue revolves around the criteria for dividing the 30% share of TV broadcast revenue.

Libra put 6 scenarios for division to a vote. The Statute requires the solution to be unanimous. Flamengo and other clubs voted on different scenarios. There was no consensus, and Flamengo went to court because the funds were being paid according to a division not approved by all clubs.”

WHAT IS HAPPENING BETWEEN FLAMENGO AND THE LIBRA TEAMS?

Currently, Flamengo, led by President Bap, is seeking a solution for the adjustment of the amounts the club receives from broadcasting rights. This is because, in the view of the current Rubro-Negro management, the issue is outdated.

However, clubs participating in Libra, such as Palmeiras, Santos, Vitória, and Atlético-MG have shown dissatisfaction with this. The teams are not even willing to discuss this issue.

WHAT HAS FLAMENGO RECENTLY DONE REGARDING LIBRA'S VALUES?

Disagreeing with the terms signed by former president Landim, Flamengo managed to block R$ 77 million – an amount related to a percentage of the pay-per-view earnings, according to the contract signed between Libra and Globo.

AND FLAMENGO ON THE FIELD?

While the backstage is heating up, Flamengo takes to the field this Thursday (02) to face Cruzeiro in the Brasileirão. In short, the match kicks off at 8:30 PM (Brasília time) at Maracanã.

Coluna do Fla TV, as usual, shows the match details with ‘in loco’ coverage by Leo José and Rodrigo Lima on YouTube. Finally, Premiere, via pay-per-view, broadcasts the match valid for the 26th round of the Brasileirão.
