O processo de transformação dos clubes de futebol brasileiros em SAF’s e seus efeitos sobre o mercado futebolístico nacional

Abstract

The present study aims to contextualize and analyze the recent process of transforming Brazilian football clubs into S.A.F.'s and its effects on the national football market, which is due not only to legislative changes such as Law o.14.193/2022 but also to the influence of economic and market actors, resulting in the transformation of football into a profitable commodity by creating a model that is sustainable in the long term. This involves presenting these recent legal innovations and analyzing their effects and consequences, which also represents an opportunity to compare them with the traditional associative management model. This is a proposal that is relevant since football is a sport intrinsically linked to society and that moves millions. However, due to the lack of professional management, many clubs end up in dire straits, losing their assets or even their own identity through mergers with other clubs. Therefore, the role of this study is to focus on the importance of recent legal innovations for this renewal of professional football management, bringing as a hypothesis the question of whether the Football Corporation Law is fulfilling its role of representing a path for a qualitative improvement in Brazilian football. Based on these considerations and seeking to fulfill the outlined objectives, a literature review on the subject was proposed based on the national doctrinal and academic framework, thus allowing the dimensioning of the impact of S.A.F. for the rationalization of football in Brazil
