Christmas wishes: the gift your club dreams of unwrapping | OneFootball

Christmas has arrived and, beyond all the traditional symbolism of the season, it's also a time to have fun with the arrival of Santa Claus.

If you like football, you’ve probably included a wish related to your favorite club in your letters to him.

And that's exactly what we're going to do here at OneFootball, thinking of the perfect gift for each of the biggest fanbases in Brazil.

Of course, everyone wants to compete at the top and lift trophies, but we’ve come up with wishes that fit the reality of each club.

Check out below the gifts each club is wishing for and let us know in the comments what your wish for Santa Claus would be.

Flamengo

It’s hard to top the gifts the Nation received this year, but repeating the feat in 2026 would be a dream.

And if the good old man is feeling generous, he might remember those verses sung at Maracanã: "And now your people ask for the world again."

Corinthians

The Copa do Brasil title arrived almost together with Santa Claus for Corinthians fans.

But looking ahead, the debt for the Neo Química Arena could finally be paid off, giving the club’s finances a huge relief.

São Paulo

Given the recent news regarding the board, a complete overhaul would be welcome at Morumbis.

Financial problems and issues in the medical department didn’t allow fans to feel at ease in 2025.

Palmeiras

After a year of frustrations and no titles, fans want trophies to return to Allianz Parque.

For that to happen, it’s important not to lose key players in the middle of the year, as happened in the last two seasons with Endrick and Estêvão.

Santos

It’s undeniable that Neymar’s presence on the field makes a huge difference for Santos.

But it’s important that Santa gives more health to the number 10 so he doesn’t miss so many games, and the struggle in the 2025 Brasileirão doesn’t repeat itself.

Grêmio

The arrival of Luis Castro brought new energy to Grêmio fans.

And they wish that the Portuguese coach can quickly return Grêmio to prominence, just as he did with Botafogo at the start of the 2023 Brasileirão.

Vasco

Unfortunately, Rayan’s departure from Vasco seems inevitable.

But fans hope this won’t be the young player’s last Christmas at São Januário and, if he is sold in a year, that it will be for an amount that fills Santa’s sleigh with money.

Cruzeiro

After a year of progress on the field, Raposa suffered a tough blow with the departure of Leonardo Jardim.

The club now hopes that Tite will recall his successful days in Brazilian football, bringing good results and titles.

Inter

Colorado fans don’t want to go through the struggle against relegation anymore.

Their wish for Santa is for a peaceful 2026 with a competitive team.

Atlético-MG

Galo is living with uncertainties about its SAF amid poor results on the field and growing debts.

The fans’ plea to the management (and to Santa) is for a new financial injection to ease the club’s accounts.

Fluminense

Everaldo’s lack of goals has Tricolor fans putting a request for a striker at the top of their letter to Santa.

The feeling is that at least one title would have come in the knockout rounds with a higher-level goal scorer.

Botafogo

After a magical 2024, the year was full of doubts about the present and near future of the SAF.

Glorioso asks Santa to resolve this situation soon so that Textor (or a possible new manager) can invest heavily again to build a competitive squad.
