REUTERS: Brazil’s leading football clubs announced on Tuesday that they intend to create an independent league body, with 19 of Serie A’s 20 clubs backing the decision to form a league that would give them more say in the running of the game.

The 19 Brazilian clubs delivered a letter to the CBF expressing their “immediate decision to create a football ‘league’ in Brazil that will be founded as soon as possible.” The news comes amid widespread unease with the CBF, who on May 31 agreed Brazil would host the 2021 Copa America with two weeks notice and at the same time as the national league is taking place.Brazil is suffering from a long and terrible wave of COVID-19 cases and three of the 10 teams in the Copa have reported players or officials testing positive for the virus.

Days after the controversial decision to host the Copa, the CBF’s president was suspended pending an investigation by its Ethics Committee into reported accusations of sexual harassment.
