BRASILIA (Reuters) - Brazilian Justice Minister Gilmar Mendes ordered Ednaldo Rodrigues to be reinstated as the country's football confederation president after he overturned the previous ruling of the Rio de Janeiro Court of Justice..
Rodrigues was removed from his post last month by the Rio de Janeiro court despite being elected to lead the CBF until 2026. The court appointed the president of the Superior Court of Sports Justice (STJD), Jose Perdiz, as interim head.
