July 3 – In an unprecedented move, Brazilian broadcasting behemoth TV Globo has rescinded its contract with Rio de Janeiro’s state football federation after Flamengo streamed their match against Boa Vista on Youtube under a temporary federal rule introduced by Jair Bolsonaro.
On Wednesday, Flamengo defeated Boa Vista 2-0 behind closed doors at the Maracana, but the club broadcast the match online via its own Youtube account with the stream enjoying an average audience of 2 million viewers.
