A Rio de Janeiro court removed the board of Brazil's Football Confederation, including president Ednaldo Rodrigues, amid allegations of signature forgery linked to a prior agreement. Vice-president Fernando Sarney was appointed interim president to ensure elections are held promptly. The court's decision is rooted in doubts about the mental capacity of former CBF president Antonio Carlos Nunes de Lima, compounded by health concerns since his brain cancer diagnosis. The ruling necessitates immediate lawful elections to ensure proper governance of the organization.
I declare null and void the agreement signed between the parties, previously approved by the Superior Court, due to the mental incapacity and possible forgery of the signature of Antonio Carlos Nunes de Lima.
The entity cannot remain leaderless, and it is imperative that lawful elections be held, in accordance with the law.
