"Of course I would rather have this game further on. I already went to check who the new selectors are and who won. It was just me and the one from France, no one else. We are working on serious games, it's not pre-season. But that's not an excuse. We have to speed up the process and be creative. It's many years of football and that doesn't bother me." The coach Jorge Jesus stated this Saturday that he would prefer to play in Norway further along in the UEFA Nations League calendar, but assured that Portugal is in Oslo to win against an opponent of "great quality."

🚨 End of the 12-game limit and creation of a "B team": proposals will be debated by clubs and CBF: The ideas were presented by Guilherme Bellintani, owner of SAF of Londrina. • MORE FREEDOM FOR TRANSFERS Currently, a player can change clubs in the Brasileirão as long as they have not exceeded 12 matches. The proposal is to END this restriction. • CREATION OF THE "B TEAM" Bellintani also proposed allowing clubs from Series A, B, or C to have a B team competing in official competitions, as Barcelona, Benfica, and Porto do. The idea is to create an intermediate step between the youth team and the professional team, providing a schedule and games for young players who are not yet ready for the main team. The proposals will be discussed at a future meeting between the clubs and the CBF. (translated)

The Attorney General of the State of Santa Catarina enters the dispute over the Maracanã! Phelipe Monteiro Mastra Fontoura, attorney, acting on his own behalf and as a citizen, filed a representation to the Public Prosecutor's Office of the State of Rio de Janeiro dated September 19, 2026. The representation is directed against the Clube de Regatas do Flamengo, Fluminense Football Club, the State of Rio de Janeiro — through the State Civil House — and Fla-Flu Serviços S.A., the concessionaire of the Maracanã Complex. The author also requests that Vasco da Gama SAF and Club de Regatas Vasco da Gama be notified as interested parties in the proceedings. The central point is the allegation that the Maracanã, although a state public asset, is being managed in a way that favors Flamengo and Fluminense, despite the concession contract prohibiting exclusive use and discriminatory treatment or lack of technical criteria for other clubs. The representation argues that refusals to Vasco have primarily been justified by the need to preserve the pitch. The document cites incidents from 2022, 2023, and 2026. In three previous situations — Vasco x Sport, Vasco x Palmeiras, and Vasco x Atlético-MG — judicial decisions authorized the use of the stadium and questioned the justifications presented to prevent the matches. In August 2026, another refusal for Vasco x Vitória, for the Copa do Brasil, was issued this time referencing "technical windows" for pitch recovery and an NFL game. The representation also questions the consistency of the criteria related to the pitch. According to the arguments and documents cited by the author, Flamengo and Fluminense conducted intense sequences of matches at the stadium, even with reduced intervals. The text maintains that the calendar would be filled by the managers themselves and that, subsequently, the saturation of the pitch would be used to justify the impossibility of hosting third-party games. Another point is the Memorandum of Understanding signed between Flamengo, Fluminense, and Vasco, which provided for four annual home games for Vasco in 2025 and 2026, in addition to the classics, establishing that any refusal should be based on technical and operational criteria. The representation mentions a decision by the Court of Justice according to which the attempt to eliminate the effects of this understanding could constitute contradictory behavior contrary to good faith. The author also requests an investigation into possible conflicts of interest in the concession's oversight, citing professional ties described in the document between people linked to state oversight, the concessionaire, and Flamengo. It is important to highlight that the representation itself expressly states that it does not accuse these individuals of wrongdoing but requests that the circumstances be investigated. What is requested from the Public Prosecutor's Office? Phelipe Fontoura requests, among other measures, that the MP recommend the creation and publication of objective and uniform criteria for the use of the Maracanã, including a minimum interval between games, a monthly limit on matches, reports signed by identified professionals with ART, and written justifications for possible refusals. He also requests a sanctioning process regarding the refusals of 2026 and, if the situation persists, eventual civil action to prevent refusals without independent technical reports and written justifications. The Attorney General of the State of Santa Catarina also requests the opening of a civil inquiry, obtaining calendars, requests for the use of the stadium, reports, maintenance schedules, reports from the Independent Verifier, and documents related to the fine imposed on the concessionaire. He also requires an investigation into possible conflicts of interest and the involvement of Vasco to provide documents related to the refusals received since 2022. This document is not a lawsuit filed by Vasco. It is a representation made by citizen and attorney Phelipe Monteiro Mastra Fontoura to the Public Prosecutor's Office. (translated)

Florentino and Tebas continue with their little theater backed by the cave and its narrative: "They get along very badly." Yes, you get along very badly but: - You have spent 500 times what Barça has in the last 5 years. - The calendar we have for the 26/27 season in these 7 matchdays has given them more rest time than Barça, which, on the other hand, has had to play at temperatures of 30-36 degrees away in the 4 outings we have had (Elche, Valencia, Levante, and Sevilla). FACTS (calendar and financial fair play) vs WORDS (theater) Don't be fooled. (translated)
