Palmeiras to Sue Over R$77 Million TV Revenue Freeze Obtained by Flamengo

The move follows a Rio court injunction that blocked R$77 million in audience-linked payments under the Libra–Globo deal.

Overview

  • Palmeiras says it will seek in court both reversal of the TJ-RJ injunction and compensation for alleged losses from the halted distributions.
  • Leila Pereira publicly condemned Flamengo’s leadership, labeling them “terraflamistas,” and called the club’s legal strategy predatory.
  • The injunction freezes payments due to 16 Libra clubs, including Palmeiras, São Paulo, Santos, Atlético-MG, Grêmio, Bahia, and Flamengo itself.
  • Flamengo’s current administration under Luiz Eduardo Baptista contests the 2024 agreement signed under Rodolfo Landim and seeks to renegotiate revenue criteria tied to audience.
  • Libra expressed surprise at Flamengo’s unilateral action, as club officials warn the freeze strains cash flow and could affect future broadcast negotiations.
