The text, reported in the Chamber of Deputies by Felipe Carreras (PSB-PE), updates the Pelé Law, from 1998, which since 2013 has not received changes and when eSports were not in the sights of a regulation.
Felipe Carreras had included eSports in his preliminary report, but the chapter was not discussed and voted on. Approved in the Chamber, Carreras' text went to the Senate, when Senators Angelo Coronel and Irajá intervened to add the term “physical or electronic” to define the form of the sport.
Leila Barros, rapporteur in the Senate, did not accept the proposal to include the term, limiting to the update of the Pelé Law without the inclusion of eSports. The text returns to the House for debates and voting on the amendments made by the Senate.
This Tuesday (14), Federal Deputy Felipe Carreras will meet with football club leaders, who will suggest changes to the project. Among the topics to be discussed are the Pass Law, so that clubs receive higher income according to the training of athletes.
Next week, a new Carreras meeting will bring together representatives of sports confederations interested in discussions on increasing transfers for their core activities.
