After pressure from the Brabas, Corinthians sets repayment plan | OneFootball

Corinthians has set a schedule to begin settling the outstanding amounts owed to the women’s squad. The first part of the debt is expected to be paid this Friday (28), while the rest is scheduled to be settled next week. The payment forecast comes after a meeting between representatives of the Brabas and president Osmar Stabile, held last Tuesday (25) at Parque São Jorge.

The players approached the board to demand a solution to the financial issues and were told that the debts would be resolved in the coming days. Among the amounts still unpaid to the squad are image rights for the months of June and July. The club also still owes bonuses to players and members of the coaching staff for winning the 2025 Women’s Libertadores and for finishing as runners-up in the 2026 Copa das Campeãs and Supercopa do Brasil.

The meeting with Stabile lasted approximately an hour and a half. During the conversation, the players presented their demands to the presidency and sought a clear answer on when the payments would be made. A ten-day deadline was set for the club to regularize the situation.

The meeting gained further details after Corinthians’ 6-2 thrashing of Taubaté last Wednesday (26) at Fazendinha. Captain Tamires revealed that the board apologized and said the players were assured that the amounts would be paid.

Head coach Emily Lima also commented on the matter after the match. According to the coach, Stabile acknowledged the problems the club has faced regarding payments and listened to the demands presented by the women’s department. She also confirmed that the group had been told part of the debt would be paid this week and the rest the following week.

Financial issues in women’s football

According to reporting by Meu Timão, the women’s department began 2026 with approximately R$ 13 million in outstanding financial commitments. Over the course of the season, about R$ 11 million of that amount was reportedly settled with funds from an investment by sponsor Fatal Fans.

The current debts involving image rights and bonuses, on the other hand, are expected to be paid with Corinthians’ own funds. The expectation now is that the first stage of the agreement will be fulfilled this Friday, with the remainder settled next week.

The delay in settling the amounts also sparked reactions from the fans. During the win over Taubaté in the Paulista Women’s Championship, members of the Fiel Fazendinha movement brought banners to Parque São Jorge demanding a solution from the board. One of them read “Pay the Brabas”.

While awaiting a resolution to the financial issues, the squad is beginning preparations for a decisive stage of the season. After finishing its participation in the first phase of the state championship, Corinthians is now turning its attention to the quarterfinals of the Brazilian Women’s Championship.

The Brabas will face Cruzeiro next Monday (31) at 7:15 p.m. (Brasília time) at Independência Stadium in Belo Horizonte. The match will be the first leg of the quarterfinals of the national competition.
