Teixeira in Johannesburg in June 2010
For the Angolan racing driver, see Ricardo Teixeira (racing driver).

Ricardo Terra Teixeira (Template:IPA-pt; born June 20, 1947) is the current president of the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) since January 16, 1989. Teixeira has been chosen to remain on the presidency of CBF at least until the end of the 2014 FIFA World Cup to be held in Brazil completing then over 25 years as head of the institution. In November 2010 he was alleged by the BBC to have taken bribes in the 1990s regarding the awarding of World Cup television rights.

Life and career

Born in Carlos Chagas, Ricardo Teixeira married Lúcia Havelange, the daughter of João Havelange. They divorced in 1997 after almost 30 years of marriage. His son, Ricardo Teixeira Havelange born in 1974 bears his mother's last name, opposing the Brazilian custom.

In 1989, Teixeira was first elected the president of CBF succeeding Octávio Pinto Guimarães and defeating Nabi Abi Chedid, the president of Federação Paulista de Futebol at the time. BBC journalist Tim Vickery has suggested that he would not have been elected "had he not at the time been the son-in-law of vastly influential former FIFA boss Joao Havelange." Teixeira is currently serving his sixth term as head of the CBF.

Corruption allegations

In November 2010 Andrew Jennings, the presenter of FIFA's Dirty Secrets, an edition of BBC's flagship current affairs programme Panorama alleged that Teixeira had taken bribes in the 1990s regarding the awarding of contracts for the sale of television rights to the football World Cup., Teixeira responded to the allegations in 25th July 2011.

The Brazilian authorities started in October 2011 an investigation to evaluate the possibility of money laundering by Ricardo Teixeira through the Brazilian Football Confederation. The authorities will have 90 days to complete the investigation which also alleges the involvement of João Havelange as part of the scheme. Andrew Jennings told the Senate committee that Ricardo Teixeira may have amassed $9.5m in bribes from now-defunct FIFA marketing firm ISL.

piauí controversy

The July 2011 issue of the Brazilian magazine piauí published a profile of Ricardo Teixeira written by journalist Daniela Pinheiro. Ms. Pinheiro spent 10 days in Switzerland with Teixeira while he was there to attend the 61st FIFA Congress. In the 8-page article, Teixeira talked about football politics, the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil, the Brazilian press and corruption allegations against him and other FIFA members. During the course of the interviews, he brushed off the accusations with profanities (such as caguei, a Brazilian swear-word for the verb "to defecate" which also means, roughly, "I couldn't care less") and boasted he was able to do whatever he wanted during the 2014 World Cup - like denying press credentials to those who are critical of him or changing match schedules at his own pleasure.

All of Teixeira's declarations were later confirmed by Rodrigo Paiva, head of public relations for the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF). The remarks stirred a lot of controversy in both the Brazilian press and Brazilian society, and sparked the Twitter campaign #foraricardoteixeira ("Out with Ricardo Teixeira").
