Flamengo wants an end to synthetic turf and proposes point deductions for clubs undergoing judicial reorganization.

Flamengo The club is calling for an end to the use of synthetic turf in professional competitions and for teams undergoing judicial reorganization to lose points in the Football Sustainability System (SSF) , a financial fair-play model that the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) is seeking to implement. The club's suggestions were communicated through an official statement released this Monday.

According to the Rio de Janeiro team, the ten proposals, which were submitted to the CBF (Brazilian Football Confederation) committee responsible for the matter, aim to contribute to the improvement of governance and sustainability practices in Brazilian football.

Among them, two stand out. In the first, the club argues that teams undergoing judicial reorganization should lose points until the agreement is approved, so that there is no competitive advantage over other teams.

" Prevent clubs from using the period of non-payment of debts (between the declaration of RJ/REJ and the approval of the agreement) as a competitive advantage, blocking the registration of new athletes during this period and the loss of points," the statement says.

The second, and more controversial, issue concerns synthetic turf in professional competitions. According to the club, the plastic turf affects the players' physical condition and also creates a disparity in finances regarding maintenance costs compared to teams that choose to use natural grass.

"Plastic turf should be immediately eliminated from all professional national tournaments. The discrepancy in maintenance costs between natural and artificial turf creates financial imbalances among clubs and harms the physical health of players and athletes," the club stated in an official note.

In October of this year, the CBF (Brazilian Football Confederation) implemented a working group that brings together clubs and federations to discuss the fair-play model. The final proposal developed by the entity that governs Brazilian football will be revealed on November 26th.
