The objective of the working group

The creation of the group was an initiative by the CBF. The goal is to listen to the clubs and formulate concrete proposals. Refereeing has been a constant target of criticism during the Brasileirão.

The inaugural meeting of the WG already has a set date. The gathering will take place next Monday, November 10th. The CBF headquarters in Rio de Janeiro will host the club representatives for the initial debate.

The deadline for proposals from Vasco and other clubs

The working group will have just over two months to formulate a plan. The final proposal with improvement suggestions must be completed. The document will be delivered directly to the president of the CBF, Samir Xaud.

The final deadline set by the entity for this submission is January 20, 2026. The expectation is that the changes proposed by Vasco and other teams will be implemented before the start of the next season.
