Atlético condemned for handing counterfeit shirts to supporters | OneFootball

Atlético was found liable by the courts after two fans reported problems with shirts they received through the club’s membership program. The information was first reported by Band Minas.

According to the lawsuit, the fans signed up for the annual “Galo Na Veia Forte e Vingador” plan, which included, among its benefits, the delivery of official club shirts. The model in question was the “All Black,” launched exclusively for members of this category in 2025.

However, according to the accounts presented in the case, one of the items received showed inconsistencies, such as incorrect numbering and the absence of a tag. When they sought an exchange at an official club store, the fans say they were surprised to be told that one of the shirts was counterfeit, with no possibility of replacement on site.

Given the situation, the court ordered Atlético to send original shirts to the fans involved. In addition, the club was ordered to pay R$ 4,000 in moral damages.

What the club says

In its defense, as reported by Veja, Atlético challenged the version presented by the fans. The club claimed that the product shown does not match the item officially sent and argued that it had fully met its contractual obligation.

According to Galo’s position, more than 20,000 shirts were distributed to members, and this is the only recorded case of an alleged delivery of a counterfeit product.

Atlético said it will appeal the decision.
