Flamengo to slash budget in 2026 after government decision

How Much Will Flamengo Have to Pay in Taxes Until 2033?

Flamengo is keeping an eye on the federal government's decisions regarding new tax reforms. For this reason, the Most Beloved is preparing a cut of R$ 16 million in 2026 to comply with the new model.

According to information from the UOL portal, Flamengo will have to pay around R$ 700 million in taxes over eight years. The amounts start at R$ 19 million in 2026, but reach R$ 214 million in 2033. By the eighth year, the Most Beloved will have paid R$ 746 million in fees.

How Much Will SAFs Pay in Taxes?

SAFs, on the other hand, will have a lower cost when it comes to tax payments. According to a study conducted by Flamengo, clubs that are not associations will pay R$ 434 million less. In other words, the Most Beloved is at a disadvantage in this regard.

Which Area Could Be Affected at Flamengo?

Thus, Flamengo plans to cut deficit activities that generate losses during a season. Olympic sports, for example, have a deficit of almost R$ 50 million. Therefore, it is an area that could be affected by the new measure.

“I am convinced that the Legal Framework was not designed to create inequality between associative clubs and SAFs. SAFs emerged later, and the presidential veto ended up producing an unintended effect: it put associative clubs at a tax disadvantage. This reverses the logic of the system, since non-profit entities should never be taxed more than structures created for profit,” said President Bap, in an interview with FlamengoTV.

And Flamengo on the Field?

On the field, Flamengo is focusing its attention on the match against Internacional on Wednesday (04). The match is scheduled for 7:00 PM (Brasília time) at Maracanã, with on-site coverage by Coluna do Fla.
