Some clubs defend the immediate adoption of financial fair play, others prefer a period of adaptation to fit the new rules
Leaders of and representatives of the A Serie A clubs have recently gathered to discuss possible changes in the competition. However, the discussions resulted in few concrete news. Among the topics covered, the implementation of Financial Fair Play and the ban on synthetic lawns were postponed, generating different opinions among clubs. While some clubs defend the immediate adoption of financial fair play, others prefer a period of adaptation to fit the new rules. The CBF National Club Commission (CNC) will be responsible for evaluating these issues throughout the year, seeking a consensus that meets everyone involved.
FAIR PLAY FINANCIAL aims to ensure the economic health of clubs, preventing late payment delays and debt accumulation. The CBF is considering the regulation of this practice and can approve it in 2025, establishing a deadline for clubs to fit the new requirements. In addition to discussions about Fair Play, some changes were effectively approved for the Brazilian Championship. These include the implementation of an anti-racist protocol and the introduction of a multiple ball system, which aims to increase the effective game time during matches. The Brazilian Championship is scheduled to start on March 29 and will extend until December 21, marking the first time the competition will be played for ten months.
