Brazilian Football Confederation Appoints First Female Director

INTERNATIONAL: The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) named its first female director on Tuesday 26th April, appointing architect Luisa Rosa to a role that includes oversight of new construction projects.

Rosa worked on the organizing committees for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil and the 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games held in Rio de Janeiro.

She was also involved in architecture projects for this year's World Cup in Qatar.

Rosa, 33, will be tasked with creating 15 development centers with money earned by Brazil when it hosted the 2014 World Cup.

She will also oversee an expansion of the Granja Comary headquarters where the Brazilian national side prepares for international matches and World Cups, said the globoesporte website.

CBF president Ednaldo Rodrigues said Rosa's promotion to Director of Assets would act as an incentive to others.

Her appointment comes almost a year after the previous CBF president was removed from office by the organization’s ethics committee following allegations that he sexually harassed female employees.

Rogerio Caboclo has denied the accusations..
