Soccer-Ousted Brazil FA President Rodrigues Drops Appeal Ahead of Election

Ednaldo Rodrigues, who was recently removed from his role as head of the Brazilian Football Confederation, formally abandoned his appeal on Monday to retain his position following a court ruling last week.
Rodrigues' removal resulted from a Rio de Janeiro court invalidating an agreement that had allowed his re-election until 2030 due to alleged forgery and mental capacity concerns.
Fernando Sarney, serving as the interim head of the CBF, arranged for new elections to take place on Sunday, with just one registered contender—the incoming leader of the football federation representing the Brazilian state of Roraima.
Rodrigues confirmed via his lawyer he will neither run nor support any candidate, wishing success to Brazilian football and listing the hiring of coach Carlo Ancelotti among his achievements.
The upcoming election aims to restore stability, with Xaud supported by 25 federations and 10 clubs, focusing on addressing structural challenges including referees, calendar, and league improvements.
