The Organizing Committee for the Olympic and Paralympic Games Rio 2016 wishes to congratulate Congressman Aldo Rebelo (PcdoB-SP) for his appointment to head the Ministry of Sport. The political career of Congressman Aldo Rebelo and his courageous defense of the Brazilian interests give rise to the most promising perspectives for sport development in our country. We are convinced that the indispensable partnership between the Ministry of Sport, BOC, Brazilian Olympic Sport Confederations and the clubs and sport associations will continue to exist. As soon reasonably as feasible, the BOC will propose an agenda of meetings with the new minister to discuss the projects of interest to Brazilian Olympic sport in the scenario of significant challenges that lies ahead.
