The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) is transforming football transparency by requiring referees to explain VAR-reviewed decisions during the Brasileirão games starting April 13th. “It’s a window into the thought process of the game’s most scrutinized figures,” highlights the shift toward greater clarity in decision-making. FIFA has approved this move, signaling a significant change in how football communicates with its fans.

This initiative was first tested in the 2024 Women’s Super Cup final, where Corinthians defeated Cruzeiro 1-0. “The feedback was overwhelmingly positive,” reflecting the audience’s appreciation for this new level of transparency.
Clubs now have the flexibility to register up to nine foreign players, up from seven. This change aims to enrich the league’s competitiveness and diversity.
The championship’s top scorer will receive the Roberto Dinamite trophy and a financial reward. “It’s a symbol of excellence,” the award not only recognizes scoring prowess but also honors the player’s contribution to the sport’s beauty and competitiveness.
These updates by the CBF signify a move towards a more inclusive, transparent, and competitive Brasileirão, reflecting the evolving landscape of global football.
