Brazilian football disciplinary actions
Overview
The Santa Catarina Sports Justice Tribunal (TJD-SC) issued a 30-day preventive suspension to Joinville head coach Diego Souza following an investigation into the use of a fraudulent coaching license. The case is part of a larger scandal involving the alleged sale of fake diplomas, including certificates attributed to the Argentine Football Coaches Association (ATFA). Souza claims he was a victim of a scam when he purchased the documentation in 2023.
Separately, the Superior Tribunal de Justiça Desportiva (STJD) issued rulings involving Internacional officials and players. Club president Alessandro Barcellos received a 30-day suspension and a fine after being accused of directing insults and profanity at the officiating crew during a match against Fluminense. Barcellos has denied the specific allegations. Midfielder Alan Patrick was acquitted of charges regarding disrespectful comments toward referees.
