How much will Corinthians lose as Fatal fans pull out? | OneFootball

Corinthians' contract with the Fatal Fans platform was suspended last Thursday, the 1st, following a ruling by the São Paulo courts. The decision was made by the Juvenile Court of the Tatuapé Regional Forum. As a result, the company's brand may no longer be displayed by the club.

The public civil action was filed by the São Paulo Public Prosecutor's Office. According to the ruling, advertising from Corinthians' sponsor could reach a significant audience of children and teenagers. In addition to the club's matches being broadcast on television, the brand also has major exposure through special branding.

The São Paulo court's decision ordered the club to remove or cover it from uniforms, sports venues, digital channels, and any other areas where it is displayed. The deadline for full removal is 15 days.

In addition, Corinthians' management will also have to remove from its official channels all links directing users to the brand's platform. It is worth noting that the decision refers to the suspension of the contract, but does not address the immediate termination of the agreement between the club and the brand.

Corinthians' board signed the contract with the company on June 28. The agreement provides for the payment of R$ 22 million to Timão through December 2027. However, in the event of a renewal, the partnership provides for amounts that could reach R$ 31 million.

Corinthians sponsor is also present in other club sports

In addition to men's football, the revenue generated by the contract is also allocated to basketball, futsal, and women's football, along with awareness initiatives. In recent days, Corinthians had its contract with Esportes da Sorte terminated due to the ban on betting platforms in Brazil through a provisional measure.

As a result, Corinthians was approached by Fatal Model to expand the deal and turn the quota into a master sponsorship. The proposal is worth R$ 120 million.
