Vasco DA Gama has filed an appeal with the Rio de Janeiro Court of Justice to try to reverse the decision that removed Pedrinho and two other members of the SAF Administrative Council.

What happened?

The measure was taken in a decision issued by the 4th Business Court on June 22. The club claims that the intervention promoted undue interference in governance and requests the immediate suspension of the effects of the decision.

Why is this important for Vasco DA Gama?

Vasco DA Gama's main argument is that discussions involving corporate control and governance of SAF are already subject to the arbitration procedure at the FGV Arbitration Chamber. The team is in 14th place in Serie A, with 45 points, and has a goal difference of -5, having scored 55 goals and conceded 60.

What comes next?

Now, the next step will be the analysis of the request for a suspensive effect by the Rio de Janeiro Court of Justice, which may provisionally maintain or overturn the intervention in SAF. Vasco DA Gama has a next game scheduled for July 22 against Vitoria, which is in 15th place in the table. The team is 34 points behind leader Flamengo and needs a win to try to get closer to the leaders.
