Fluminense seeks longer deadline for labour debt payment after Brazil's betting ban hits finances
By The Weekly Edge desk ·
Summary
Fluminense has asked the Rio de Janeiro labour court to move the deadline for its September instalment under the centralised labour execution scheme to 30 October. The club says Provisional Measure 1.394/2026, which banned fixed-odds betting operations and advertising in Brazil, caused an immediate financial hit. It met the 25 September payment but missed the 30 September one, and it says it is seeking other revenue sources. Superbet is its main sponsor, and challenges to the measure are pending at the Supreme Federal Court.
Why it matters
Fluminense says the betting and advertising ban caused an immediate financial hit and seeks more time for a labour-debt instalment.
