Romário’s endorsement carries weight, given his stature within Brazilian football. He recalled Ronaldo's successful management experiences with clubs like Cruzeiro, emphasizing the competence that could translate into effective leadership for the CBF. Zinho, also a former Brazilian player, expressed confidence in Ronaldo’s capabilities, suggesting that his status and experience could enhance Brazil’s representation within FIFA and Conmebol.

The CBF’s governance structure heavily favors what insiders deem as established connections, reflecting an entrenched system designed to perpetuate incumbents or their chosen successors.
