As a result, 39-year-old Tifanny Abreu, who became the first transgender volleyball player in Brazil’s Superliga, will no longer be able to play for the Osasco club.
The athlete had previously received temporary permission to play and managed to compete in the first matches of the season. However, the court overturned this decision.
Abreu’s lawyers and human rights advocates plan to challenge the ban, which they consider discriminatory.
For Tifanny, this season was supposed to be the last of her professional career.
