The candidate has collected support from 25 state federations, making it impossible Reinaldo Carneiro Bastosfrom the Paulista Federation (FPF)Register your application, which needs at least eight state entities.
Elected president of the Roraimense Football Federation (FRF), Xaud will not even enter the state entity, since the mandate would begin in 2027. Now, he already speaks as “President of CBF from 25 May”.

Behind the scenes of the negotiation that launched the name of Xud was one of the subjects revealed by the candidate. He also commented Reinaldo Carneiro, defining the old opponent as a “sensational face”.
“The choice of my name was not made by me. With everything that was happening, we decided to gather. We knew we had a very important legal struggle and, at any time, he could shoot the key. So much so that we had already elected President Ednaldo,” he said.
“Some names were released for the controversy. Mine was included. I didn’t fall in love with the parachute. When there was a key turn, we already had a union. They finished having chosen my name. I was captured by surprise, but I thought everything that told me, my potential, my work at the FRF,” he concluded.

Carlo Ancelotti: “It’s a dream”, says Xud
“I think that the arrival of Carlo Ancelotti is a dream, because he is the greatest coach of recent times. I think that joining the stars of Brazil can give an excellent league. We can have a very positive result in the next World Cup. He must arrive and have autonomy to work, without external interference and give time to work. We spoke directly with the Italian.
“Ednaldo managed to do a great job,” says Xud
The future agent praised the president of the departure, mainly for the actions done for the Serie C and D, as well as the support for the minor federations, but also underlined warnings.
“Help of costs in competitions, compensation, quotas, things they have never had in these series. What I would change, I would do a decentralization of power. This is what I want to do. From this distribution, put the right and qualified people in adequate places. And to give autonomy to these professionals,” he supported.
Furthermore, according to Xud, Ednaldo Rodrigues should comment to communicate that he will not continue to work in football. “I think it will want to rest. There is a time when we think about the family, our lives. I think this struggle will not want. I believe that with this legal situation it should soon make a declaration,” he said.
It also evaluates that the reputation of the CBF is negative. “Unfortunately, the CBF arrives in a sequence of scandals of the last presidents, legal fights, harassment. It’s all part of the president who is there, the person.

The creation of the League, the calendar and the arbitration is in the XAUD agenda
Xaud claims to end with the state championships. He claims that there is an optimization of the dates. “In Roraima, we started to decrease the dates. At the old days we had 21 dates in the state. This year we had 14 dates. Three months have passed, it went to two. It reduced the costs. We were able to give greater flexibility to the team of teams of teams, represented in the Brazilian Cup”, he exempted.
The future president also presents himself as a supporter of the creation of a league managed by the clubs and provides that this would improve the calendar.
“This problem of the championship is important for this reason. We will be able to improve our calendar if we get this structure. We follow a hierarchy of the dates. We have the FIFA calendar, conamol and CBF.
“My idea is to obtain this idea from the role, to give autonomy to the clubs to manage the championship. And CBF takes care of the other part, the basic football, the female, the conditioning to work in the small corners of the country to the large centers,” he added.
Another highlighted point was the arbitration, quoting what he did to Roraima again. “There, I am doing a very important job with arbitration. Continuous training is what I appreciate in all sectors. Training, studies. We have had growth in the arbitration of Roraima. Let’s see on the field. There is this professionalization problem, I am in favor,” he concluded.

Ronaldo did not arrive in the federations in a “coherent” way, says Xud
The CBF critic, Ronaldo, was also the subject of the conversation. He tried to be nominated in March when Ednaldo was re -elected. The phenomenon, however, complained that it was not received by the state federations.
“We have several former players who can contribute a lot to Brazilian football. Ronaldo said he hadn’t been able to establish contacts. When you want to request an elective position, the first thing you have to have is the dialogue. Not an e -mail message that said something,” Xud criticized.
“Ronaldo, I am a fan, I find a super professional. I think the way he arrived in the federations was not consistent for the electoral elections he wanted to participate. It came incorrectly,” he reiterated.
He also revealed that when Ronaldo contacted the FRF, the entity already had a political position aligned with Ednaldo. “The way it was presented via and -mail, I said that I already had a defined political position and I had no interest in talking to him at that moment. But this does not close the door to subsequent discussions,” Xud contested.
When will the CBF elections be?
The general electoral assembly is scheduled for May 25, with the first call at 10:30, at the CBF headquarters in Rio de Janeiro. The electoral commission has allowed remote participation, as it will be a lap of Brazilirão.
Understand the crisis in the CBF
The Court of Justice of Rio de Janeiro received a determination from the Supreme Court to investigate the possibility of the signature of Antonio Carlos Nunes de Lima, Colonel Nunes, in the agreement that maintained Ednaldo Rodrigues Responsible CBF has been falsified. The case emerged in the end after a competence was attached to the process.
Another point that questions the authenticity of the signature is the fact that Nunes, 86 years old, informed the court that suffered from a tumor in the brain and serious heart disease. Together, a report, a report presented by Dr. Jorge Pagura, head of the CBF medical department, in which the professional indicates that Nunes suffers from cognitive deficit, especially after undergoing surgery considered aggressive in 2023.
It is also mentioned both in requests for removal and in the requests of the presence of Ednaldo Rodrigues in the National Congress, the relationship between Minister Gilmar Mendes and the CBF. The minister, who received the cause for draw. A possible conflict of interest is discussed, since the magistrate is founder of the Brazilian Institute of Teaching, Development and Research (IDP), which has a millionaire commercial partnership for the formations of the CBF Academy.
After the removal, Ednaldo Rodrigues presented in the STF to cancel the TJ-RJ decision, through the board of directors of the CBF itself. At the same time, the entity convened the elections, the objective of a new request, to stop, to the Supreme Court, created by Ednaldo.
Before the signature, behind the CBF -CEnes reports were questioned
The magazine Piauí Focus on a relationship between the first dismissal of Ednaldo in 2023 and the judge Tj-Rj Luiz Zveiter, father of Flávio Zveiter, who opposed Ednaldo. The parallel is also outlined between the president of the departure and Gilmar Mendes. It was a report by the magazine that revealed the authoritarian expenditure and the practices in the management of the CBF, which placed Gilmar Mendes as the objective of public criticisms. According to the journalist Allan de Abreu, the minister was pushed and had to yield after the parliamentarians threatened the installation of CPI to investigate the Confederation.
On May 6, The CBF spoke on the subject through an official note. The entity defended the legitimacy of the process and reported that it did not have access to the skills and that the analysis is used in an average and in a hasty way.
“The CBF underlines that all the documents relating to the agreement mentioned were conducted within the legality and with the participation of duly legitimate representatives. The process was legitimate and has an approved agreement, being awaiting a vision request,” said the entity.
Among the announcement of Carlo Ancelotti as the new coach of the Brazilian national team, a movement considered behind the scenes as a political victory of Ednaldo, the leader has become the goal of three complaints on the CBF ethical commission for distinct reasons. Among these are reports of harassment within the entity, reckless management and the suspicion of fraud in the agreement approved by Rio Justice.
