RJX, current Brazilian champion
In the team from São Paulo the reason is the change in the planning of marketing sponsor, “Nestlé”, which will switch the brand of soy juice “Sollys” for “Molico” milk. Still, the official admission of new name has not been made.
In the club from Rio de Janeiro, the reason is purely financial. After a big loss suffered in his companies, businessman Eike Batista was in doubt whether to continue or not to continue sponsoring the Rio club. And finally, the decision has been made.
According to Brazilian media, the budget cut will be 50%. The team will also change its name. The “X” initial will be left and the team will become RJ de Esportes.
According to that information, the agreement is close to realization. The team has registered 11 players for the Superliga. Listed are Mário Jr, Bruninho, Thiago Alves, and reinforcements such as Leandro Vissoto, Maurício Souza and Vini.
With the reduced costs, RJE will play most of its games in the Superliga in the gymnasium of Tijuca Tenis Clube, playing only special matches at “Maracanãzinho”.
