Brazil’s two highest courts upheld that ruling last week.Soccer’s governing body FIFA historically rejects government and third-party interference in its member associations, which ultimately could leave five-time World Cup winners Brazil out of major competitions until the crisis is solved.The Rio court ruling also named José Perdiz...
