Supreme Court Justice Cármen Lúcia granted an injunction on Friday, February 27, allowing transgender athlete Tifanny Abreu to compete in the Copa Brasil women's volleyball semifinals in Londrina, Paraná. The ruling temporarily suspended a municipal law banning transgender athletes from city sports events. With clearance, Tifanny took the court and helped Osasco defeat Flamengo 3-0, advancing to the final.
