Corinthians again delay image-rights payments to women’s squad | OneFootball

Corinthians has once again recorded a delay in paying image rights to its women’s football players. For the second consecutive month, the club paid salaries on time but failed to meet the scheduled date for settling the amounts related to the players’ image rights.

According to information from Meu Timão, the deadline set for the payment of image rights was June 15, but the obligation was once again not fulfilled. In May, a similar situation occurred: the club only settled the outstanding amounts on the 29th, two weeks after the scheduled date and on the eve of the match against Palmeiras in the third round of the Women’s Copa do Brasil.

This time, Corinthians’ financial department still has no set forecast for when the overdue amounts will be paid.

In addition to image rights, the club also has outstanding obligations related to bonuses involving the women’s squad, coaching staff, and department employees. One of them refers to the Women’s Libertadores title, whose bonus had been agreed to be paid in installments, but there are still unpaid installments.

Another pending obligation involves the bonus received by Corinthians for finishing as runner-up in the FIFA Champions Cup. Of the total R$ 5.3 million received by the club in the competition, 80% was to be allocated to the squad, coaching staff, and support staff, but the payments have still not been fully completed.

The delays come at a time of financial difficulties for Corinthians. The club has accumulated an estimated gross debt of approximately R$ 2.7 billion and recorded an accumulated deficit of R$ 168 million through April 2026. The figure represents an increase compared to the previously released financial report and exceeds the budget forecast for the period, which had projected losses of R$ 72.9 million.

While seeking to reorganize its finances, Corinthians is also negotiating new revenue streams for women’s football. The club is evaluating a sponsorship proposal from the Fatal Fans platform, which would also involve futsal and basketball. The possible agreement would last 12 months and be worth more than R$ 17 million.

On the field, the Brabas are awaiting the resumption of the schedule after the break. Their next official match is scheduled for Wednesday (17) at 7 p.m. (Brasília time) against Ferroviária at Parque São Jorge, in the fourth round of the Campeonato Paulista Feminino.
