Individual Action in the Supreme Court
Flamengo decided to act on its own and filed a request with the Federal Supreme Court to participate in the debate on the Provisional Measure limiting betting house operations in the country. The initiative marks the first isolated manifestation by a football club against the norm.
Financial Motivation
The Rubro-Negro receives R$ 268 million per season from Betano, the current master sponsor. The previous contract, signed with PixBet, also belonged to the same segment. The possible interruption of these agreements threatens important revenues for maintaining youth categories and Olympic modalities.
Arguments Presented
In the request to join as amicus curiae in ADI 8.027/DF, the club highlights:
- Effects on the financing of Brazilian sports
- Legal security of already signed contracts
- Impact on athlete training programs
The manifestation seeks to offer the court a practical view of the consequences of the MP, without limiting itself to exclusive contractual interests.
Club's Position
Flamengo clarifies that its participation has a technical objective and aims to contribute to a broad analysis of the measure's effects on the entire sports ecosystem. The action reinforces the club's criticism of the proposal since its publication.
