Vasco spot loophole in rules, dodge CBF punishment – find out how! | OneFootball

Vasco da Gama breathes a sigh of relief behind the scenes of football politics. After fears that the new Financial Fair Play by the CBF would harm the club, the scenario has changed drastically. The adjustment in the regulations, recently debated, indicates that the new guidelines may, in fact, benefit the Gigante da Colina.

The “shield” of Judicial Recovery

The club’s great asset is its timing. The new rules bring relief to those who signed judicial recovery agreements before April 2026. Since Vasco already has its agreement approved and in effect, the club is exempt from the stricter control measures that will affect other teams.

This “immunity” allows CRVG to maintain its current spending structure. The club, which significantly increased its salary expenses before the implementation of the rules, will not face retroactive sanctions, as long as it continues to comply with what was agreed in court.

The conditions to keep the benefit

To remain outside the punitive radar of the CBF, Vasco needs to follow a basic guideline. The main requirement is to maintain a positive net balance in player transfers and, of course, strictly honor the financial commitments assumed in the judicial agreement.

The CBF now uses the case of CRVG almost as an example, encouraging other clubs, such as Corinthians, to follow the same path. Botafogo, through John Textor, also managed to relax rules regarding external capital injection, favoring the Rio de Janeiro scene.
