Corinthians women meet Osmar Stabile over late payments | OneFootball

During the afternoon of this Tuesday (25), players from Corinthians’ women’s squad were present at Parque São Jorge, the club’s social headquarters, to address delayed image rights payments. The situation has been causing internal dissatisfaction, as the athletes have still not received those amounts for the months of June and July, in addition to other outstanding bonus payments from competitions that remain unresolved.

Meu Timão reporters were at the scene and captured the moment, around 4 p.m. (Brasília time), when some representatives of the main squad — Lelê, Ivana Fuso, Erika, Thais Regina, Gisela Robledo, and Vic Albuquerque — arrived at the location. The Brabas’ coaching staff, led by Emily Lima, along with assistant Jaqueline Ucella and fitness coach Liliane Cruz, arrived at the club a little earlier.

Íris Sesso, Corinthians’ director of women’s football, was also present and was seen alongside the Brabas players at the entrance. According to Meu Timão, expectations were for a meeting with president Osmar Stabile, who received the Corinthians players in his office around 6 p.m. At the meeting, which ended at 7:30 p.m., a ten-day deadline was set, according to the outlet’s report, for the payment of the two overdue image rights installments.

The players were also treating the meeting with the Corinthians president as essential to request improvements at the training center and avoid possible consequences amid a decisive stage of the season, which includes the knockout rounds of the Brazilian Championship, the Paulistão, and the Women’s Copa Libertadores in October.

Last Monday, Corinthians paid its men’s professional squad the June image rights; the July payment is still outstanding. According to the contract, image rights must be paid on the 15th of the following month. For the women’s team, the last two installments should have been deposited on July 15 and August 15.

Meu Timão contacted Corinthians’ financial department, which admitted the delay and said it does not have a specific deadline for resolving the issue. The Alvinegro also owes the athletes money related to winning the 2025 Women’s Copa Libertadores and for the runner-up finishes in the Copa das Campeãs and the Supercopa do Brasil, both in 2026.

On-field commitments do not stop

While the financial issues remain unresolved, the Brabas are heading into an important week on the field. This Wednesday (26), at 6:30 p.m. (Brasília time), the team hosts Taubaté at Fazendinha in the seventh and final round of the first phase of the Women’s Paulista Championship.

Corinthians are in fourth place in the state competition with ten points and are still seeking a direct spot in the semifinals. To achieve that goal, they need to win their match and rely on favorable results in the other fixtures of the round.

Next in the season, the team will also begin its Women’s Brazilian Championship quarterfinal campaign. The opponent will be Cruzeiro, with the first match in Belo Horizonte and the return leg in São Paulo.
