Court blocks sponsor's multimillion payment to Flamengo

What was the court’s ruling regarding Banco BRB’s sponsorship of Flamengo?

Banco de Brasília (BRB) is one of Flamengo’s sponsors. This Friday (22), the Federal District Court ordered the temporary suspension of the institution’s payments to the Rubro-Negro.

The decision was made by Judge Sandra Cristina Candeira de Lira, from the 6th Public Treasury Court of the Federal District. The lawsuit alleges illegality in the agreement, which provides for more than R$ 42 million to Flamengo’s coffers.

In addition, the judge also questions the fact that Banco BRB is going through a serious financial crisis and that, because of the amounts paid to Flamengo, this could cause damage to public assets. The lawsuit cites practices such as “violating principles of public administration, such as morality, impartiality, and efficiency.”

IS BANCO BRB A SPONSOR OF FLAMENGO?

Banco BRB has sponsored Flamengo since 2020 and recently signed an extension of the partnership. Previously, the financial institution had its name displayed in the master sponsor spot on the Sacred Jersey. However, once Betano took over that position, the bank began appearing on the shoulder area of the shirts.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO’S NEXT MATCH?

While the sponsor deals with internal problems, the Flamengo squad is focused on its next commitment of the season. This Saturday (23), Mengão faces Palmeiras in the 17th round of the Brasileirão.

In short, the ball starts rolling at 9:00 p.m. (Brasília time) at the Maracanã. As usual, Coluna do Fla TV will bring match details with on-site coverage from Rodrigo Lima and Rock Hudson on YouTube, as well as on the website and social media. Finally, Premiere, via pay-per-view, and SporTV, on closed TV, will broadcast the match.
