STJD hosts 2nd national meeting of football sports courts at CBF | OneFootball

The Superior Court of Sports Justice for Football held, this Thursday (16), the 2nd National Meeting of Football Sports Justice Courts. Held at the CBF auditorium in Rio de Janeiro, the meeting brought together representatives from 22 sports courts, as well as seven federations and several Brazilian clubs, in a day dedicated to the exchange of experiences and qualified debates on key issues in Sports Justice.

During the opening, the president of the STJD for Football, Luís Otávio Veríssimo, highlighted the historic nature of the event at the home of Brazilian football and emphasized the alignment and advances promoted by the administration of president Samir Xaud:

“For the first time, this meeting is taking place at CBF headquarters, the 2nd National Meeting of the Courts, and, more than a simple gesture, it is the realization of a very clear guideline of the Confederation’s current administration, with the sensitivity to understand the unique moment of development that football is experiencing, recognized by the industry, by the stakeholders and, especially, by the media. This work is the result of a convergence of ideals and objectives, led by the presidency of Samir Xaud.”

“I would like to record here my thanks and recognition to Samir, who, since the beginning of his administration, has been carrying out measures that CBF promised and has been delivering day by day. They impact not only football on the field today, but above all what we expect from football tomorrow,” said the president of the STJD, who also emphasized the importance of joint action among the institutions:

“It is essential to highlight the joint and side-by-side work of Sports Justice with the Federations and clubs. Although autonomous and independent, Sports Justice cannot confuse that with indifference and distance,” he concluded.
