Desembargadora Lúcia Helena do Passo overturned Flamengo’s injunction that had frozen roughly R$83 million and ordered the release of R$66 million, leaving R$17 million under judicial hold. Payments to Libra clubs such as Bahia, Vitória, Atlético-MG, Grêmio, Palmeiras, Santos, São Paulo and Red Bull Bragantino will resume, with the bloc set to finalize the division within five days. The court ruled that disputes over the contract’s merits and future installments must be resolved in FGV arbitration, leaving the allocation method unresolved for now. The retained amount concerns the audience-based share under the 40% equal, 30% performance, 30% audience model that Flamengo challenges in favor of a pay‑per‑view registration metric. The ruling noted Flamengo’s role in selecting Mattos Project and its failure to present an alternative calculation, as Flamengo publicly welcomed the decision and Libra celebrated the cash relief for clubs.
