Brazil Lose FIFA Council Seat as CONMEBOL Appoint Argentina’s Claudio Tapia - Inside World Football

  • In May 2025, Brazil lost its FIFA Council seat when CONMEBOL appointed Argentina’s Claudio Tapia on an interim basis.
  • The removal followed a Rio de Janeiro court ruling that suspended former Brazilian Football Federation boss Ednaldo Rodrigues over alleged document falsification before his March 2025 re-election.
  • Rodrigues had joined the FIFA Council two years earlier after ousting Fernando Sarney, who is now interim president of the CBF until fresh elections on 25 May 2025.
  • Tapia, who leads both the governing body for football in Argentina and its top professional league, secured backing from ten CONMEBOL member nations to serve temporarily on the FIFA Council.
  • Brazil’s loss of representation at FIFA’s top decision-making body reflects ongoing governance challenges and a transitional phase for the CBF.
