The election scheduled for this Sunday (25) in the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) should, without surprises, confirm Samir Xaud as president. Roraima’s leader raised support from 25 of the 27 state federations, as well as 10 clubs (out of a total of 40); In practice, this made the launch of rival candidates unfeasible.
Xaud, 41, is a doctor and was, until last week, president -elect of the Roraimense Federation – the mandate would start in 2027, in succession to his father, Zeca. Samir responds to a process for misconduct when he was director of the Roraima General Hospital and even had the assets blocked by labor debts of a store of which he was a partner; He says the first action has been filed and that he is unaware of any labor process.
The virtual future president promises to give CBF transparency in a turbulent moment. Sunday’s election, the day before the presentation of the new men’s coach Carlo Ancelotti, was summoned after a new departure from Ednaldo Rodrigues. The now former president, involved in suspicions also revealed by Piauí magazine, denies irregularities and says he is a victim of persecution, for being black and northeastern.
