Part 6/7:
The jury is still out on whether transitioning to SAF will become a mandatory step for all Brazilian clubs in the immediate future. While the current trajectory suggests a growing acceptance of the model, traditional structures continue to coexist, driven by their historical successes and strong fan bases.

For teams facing severe financial distress, embracing SAF might be a necessary escape route. Time will tell, but for now, the evolutionary path of Brazilian football appears to be a mixed tapestry of traditional and modern operational models.
