Silvio Barsetti Brazilian journalism CBF 2014 World Cup sports reporting

Brazilian journalist Silvio Barsetti has died at the age of 60 or 61 following a battle with metastatic melanoma. Barsetti had a career spanning nearly 40 years, beginning in 1988.

He was widely recognized for his investigative work and his direct questioning style during press conferences for the Brazilian national team. One of his most significant career achievements was a 2010 report for Estadão which correctly predicted that the Morumbi stadium would be excluded from the 2014 World Cup in favor of a new arena in Itaquera.

Throughout his career, Barsetti worked for several major Brazilian publications, including Jornal dos Sports, Jornal do Brasil, O Dia, and Estadão, where he served as a reporter and editor for approximately 20 years. He also covered major international events such as the FIFA World Cup and the Olympic Games. In recent years, he served as a communication coordinator for the CBF.

Beyond sports, Barsetti was an author of books covering politics and social issues, including 'A Farra dos Guardanapos' and 'O outro lado do poder'.
