The transformation of Portuguesa into a new company, SAF, has led to the creation of a new entity that is separate from the association. According to Globo Esporte Futebol, investors now hold 80% of the new company and manage it, while Lusa holds 20% with qualified vote in fundamental matters. This move is part of the Portuguesa project of SAF, which involves not only football but also two other crucial fronts.
The stadium of Portuguesa, called Canindé, is a crucial part of the project. The association is responsible for the recovery of the stadium, which is a key aspect of the project. The association also needs to act actively in the regularization of the terreno and the viabilization of the new Canindé. This includes the defense of the patrimony of Portuguesa, particularly in the process of buying the parcel of the terreno that is concession of the prefeitura of São Paulo.
The association also needs to implement the new estatuto, which was approved in the Conselho Deliberativo in December 2025. However, the association still needs to approve the new estatuto in an Assembleia Geral. The association also needs to fiscalize the work of the SAF, cover results, and make the 20% in football count. The association needs to be prepared for the future of the club, and it is not yet ready.
