Romarinho elected president of America-RJ
Romarinho, son of football legend Romário, has been elected president of America-RJ for the 2027 to 2030 term. The election took place on Monday at the Tijuca Tênis Clube headquarters, where Romarinho ran as the sole candidate.
Out of 77 participating voters, 75 voted in favor of Romarinho and two votes were null. The former player, who recently announced his retirement from professional football, will succeed his father, Romário, who led the club starting in 2024. Romarinho is set to be inaugurated on January 4, 2027.
His administration aims to continue his father's project of transforming the club into a Sociedade Anônima do Futebol (SAF). Additionally, Romarinho intends to work toward returning America-RJ to the top tier of Rio de Janeiro football, a level the team has not competed in since 2019.
