Who is Marcos Lamacchia?

The son of José Roberto Lamacchia, founder of Banco Crefisa, Marcos is the stepson of Leila Pereira, president of Palmeiras. He was born from the previous marriage between José Roberto Lamacchia and Junia Faria, daughter of banker Aloysio de Andrade Faria, who was on Forbes’ billionaire list and passed away in 2020.

Marcos Lamacchia is 47 years old and holds a degree in Business Administration with a specialization in Accounting and Business Law from the University of Miami, in the United States. He also has a specialization in Business Law from Fundação Getúlio Vargas (FGV). Between 2004 and 2009, he served as a director at Crefisa.

In 2008, he participated in the founding of Blue Star, a financial and investment consulting firm based in São Paulo, where he currently serves as CEO. His mother, Junia, is one of the company’s partners. On social media, he maintains a low profile and rarely makes public appearances.

How Vasco’s SAF is Currently Divided

The corporate structure of Vasco’s SAF is currently split into three parts. The club association retains 30% of the shares. Another 31% belongs to 777 Partners, a company that acquired a stake in the club in 2022.

The remaining 39% is under dispute in arbitration court. For Vasco to negotiate this portion, an agreement between the involved parties or a favorable court decision for the club will be necessary.

This legal scenario is crucial for any definitive progress in the sale of the SAF and explains why the process depends not only on commercial agreements but also on legal rulings.
