Fluminense announced tonight (9) that they have won a lawsuit against Dryworld, the club’s former sports equipment supplier. According to a press release, the Canadian court ordered the company to pay compensation to Tricolor.

Also according to Flu, “the decision found Dryworld guilty of the contractual termination that occurred in 2016, determining the payment of the amount of compensation which will always be the subject of the calculation of the update”.

“While the conviction is subject to appeal, Dryworld’s chances of overturning it are slim, especially given the overwhelming evidence produced by Fluminense,” Heraldo Lunes, the club’s vice president for legal interests, said on the official site.

Fluminense reached an agreement with Dryworld in January 2016 and initially the deposit was valid for five seasons. However, faced with numerous logistical problems, in the payment of royalties and the sponsorship quota, the club decided to end the partnership months after its start. Tricolor then attempts to retrieve the lagged values.

Tricolor has since been trying to recover the amounts due“
