Flamengo Council Convenes as Court Injunction Halts R$77 Million LiBRA Payout

The clash stems from Flamengo's challenge to LiBRA's audience-based distribution formula covering 30% of the Globo contract.

Overview

  • The club's Deliberative Council meets Tuesday at Gávea at president Luiz Eduardo Baptista's request to explain the rupture with LiBRA.
  • A second-instance decision from the Rio court granted Flamengo an injunction on August 24 that froze the tranche due August 25 after a first-instance denial by Judge Felipe Pinelli Pedalino Costa.
  • The blocked parcel totals about R$77 million for member clubs and concerns the audience share of the broadcast deal.
  • LiBRA and clubs including Palmeiras and São Paulo criticized Flamengo, saying the criteria were unanimously approved, including by Flamengo under former president Rodolfo Landim.
  • Assembly minutes indicate LiBRA proposed keeping 2025 payments and mediating any change for application in 2026, but Flamengo filed for the injunction beforehand, and the case proceeds under judicial secrecy.
