Overview
- CBF said it can now disclose audio and video of decisions that did not go to the on-field monitor, with publication promised within 24 hours after matches.
- The authorization follows São Paulo’s formal request for the VAR communications from five disputed plays in the 3–2 loss to Palmeiras.
- CBF had told the club that none of those incidents were reviewed on the monitor and that protocol barred release without FIFA’s consent.
- São Paulo executive Rui Costa met with CBF arbitration leaders Rodrigo Cintra and Péricles Bassols, who provided explanations and shared available review audios.
- Referee Ramon Abatti Abel and VAR official Ilbert Estevam da Silva were temporarily removed for training and evaluation, as a federal deputy pressed for the VAR official to be heard and for audio disclosure.
