Wednesday (20) promises excitement for the Brazilian Football Confederation, if the entity's president, Ednaldo Rodrigues, confirms participation in the public hearing of the Senate Sports Commission.

He will also be asked about the contracts signed with Sportradar for sports monitoring and with Brax, regarding the sale of advertising spaces in the CBF championships.
Senate
The Senate Sports Committee is holding a public hearing this Wednesday (20), starting at 9:30 am, to discuss the manipulation of results in football and the president of the CBF was invited to provide information on the topic, as he will do in the afternoon at the CPI.
The public hearing was held at the request of Senator Romário (PL-RJ). Specifically mentioning football, he justified the proposition by warning of the frequent allegations of result manipulation in a scenario of expansion of the sports betting market.
“The need to guarantee transparency, legality and the fight against illicit practices leaves no doubt about the importance of promoting a broad and in-depth debate on these issues, involving representatives of sports institutions, government authorities, companies in the sector, experts and other interested parties,” assessed the senator.
The new Minister of Sports, André Fufuca, as well as judicial authorities were also invited to give testimony.
