This Thursday, the Justice of Janeiro River ordered the dismissal of Ednaldo Rodrigues as president of the Brazilian Soccer Confederation (CBF) and Fernando Sarney, one of the entity’s vice presidents, provisionally appointed as a controller.
The decision was made by Judge Gabriel de Oliveira Zefiro, who also demanded the call for “as soon as possible” elections to form a new board of directors.
