Among the guidelines, punishments for cases of racism took an important step. The clubs defined that, with the recurrence of three punishments, there will be a loss of points. The first occurrence will be punished with a fine of BRL 500,000. In case of recurrence, the club will lose field command.

All presidents of Série A clubs were present at the meeting, although representatives of the Gaúcha and Mineira Federations did not attend. The press followed only the opening of the session.
