The samba school Rosas de Ouro, based in the northern region of São Paulo, has announced the dismissal of its Carnival team following its disappointing performance in this year’s carnival season, where it finished second to last and is now set to compete in Access Group 1 in 2027. Known for their previous triumph as champions in the Special Group in 2025, the school expressed gratitude for the dedication and professionalism of the team over the years in a public statement.

This year's failure is significant as Rosas de Ouro struggled with the administrative aspect of their presentation, most notably by delaying the technical documentation submission to the judges which resulted in a penalty of 0.5 points even before the event commenced. Despite delivering a performance that was deemed strong, the team’s penalties played a crucial role in their relegation. The school's management stated they would continue working responsibly and strategically in preparation for the upcoming carnival, seeking to regain their status in the elite group of samba schools.

The ramifications of this change in leadership at Rosas de Ouro emphasize the competitive nature of the samba school landscape in Brazil, where performance directly affects prestige and community engagement. As they retrain and reorganize their team for future competitions, the school's efforts will be closely monitored by fans and community members eager to see a turnaround. The school is expected to share further updates soon, aiming to rally support and enthusiasm as they prepare for the next carnival season.
