THE Ferj “innovated” and included in the regulation of the Carioca Championship 2023 a controversial clause. The article provides for a considerably lower award for the champion and runner-up if they do not sign the collective TV rights agreement.
With the clause, the clubs in theory are forced to sign the contract. In practice, however, Botafogo🇧🇷 Fluminense and Basque refuse to close, because they do not agree with the model in which the Flamengo would receive double the amount (R$ 18 million to R$ 9 million).
The estimated value (not officially confirmed) of the award is R$ 5.6 million for the champion and R$ 2.4 million for the runner-up.
If the winner does not sign the TV contract, he will only receive 25% of the amount (that is, R$ 1.4 million). The rest of the prize (in the amount of R$ 4.2 million) will be divided again, with 60% for the big clubs that adhere to the contract and 40% for the small ones.
Read the clause below:
