The CBF rule that almost left Corinthians under-20 ‘in the dark’ | OneFootball

After updates announced by the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) during the broadcast of the Brazilian Under-20 Championship raised doubts about clubs broadcasting the tournament’s matches, Corinthians took advantage of a loophole and broadcast the game between the Crias do Terrão and Fortaleza as usual on Wednesday afternoon (1st), in a match valid for the fourth round of the competition.

According to information obtained by Central do Timão, the ban imposed by the entity on club broadcasts is limited only to matches that would already be broadcast by the competition’s image rights holder. In the case of the Under-20 tournament, that means two matches per round, so Alvinegro was able to broadcast the match against Leão do Pici, since the clash held at Fazendinha was not part of UOL’s broadcast schedule.

Central do Timão had access to the document issued by the CBF last Tuesday (31), which stated that for the 2026 season, clubs would not be allowed to broadcast on their channels the championship matches selected by the rights holders. However, Alvinegro obtained authorization to continue with its programming on Corinthians TV, since the rights holder chose to broadcast Botafogo vs Palmeiras at 10 a.m. and Criciúma vs Flamengo at 3 p.m.

The match

On Wednesday afternoon (1), Corinthians faced Fortaleza at Fazendinha in a match valid for the fourth round of the first phase of the Brazilian Under-20 Championship and was defeated 1-0. With the result, Alvinegro remained in third place in the national tournament with seven points — two wins, one loss, and one draw — with nine goals scored and four conceded.
