The Financial Sustainability System Working Group, which aims to create a national financial fair play model, is made up of 34 clubs from the A and B Series of the Brazilian Championship, as well as 10 state federations. The intention is to present the final proposal during the CBF Summit, on November 26.

The leader of the Working Group is Rodrigo Gluck de Paul, from the Pará Football Federation (FPF). The rapporteur, in turn, is Helder Melillo, who serves as the CBF's executive director. The progress of the project could be beneficial to Corinthians, which is experiencing a complex financial crisis and needs to adjust its accounts.

Currently, the club is banned from making signings – a FIFA transfer ban due to a debt related to the purchase of defender Félix Torres – just over six million dollars (R$ 33 million) – from Santos Laguna, Mexico, in January 2024. It is worth noting that, in European football, this model is already in place, aiming to promote the “financial sustainability” of clubs, with penalties applied to those who break the rules.
