Corinthians settles image rights payments for women’s squad | OneFootball

Last Friday (29), Corinthians made the overdue image rights payment to the women’s football players, settling an issue that had been dragging on since the first half of May. The information was reported by Meu Timão.

The amounts should have been deposited on the 15th, but the club was unable to meet the deadline due to the financial difficulties it is currently facing. Given the situation, the board committed to settling the matter by the end of May, which it accomplished.

Despite the payment of the image rights, there are still other outstanding financial issues involving the Brabas. Among them is the payment related to the 2025 Women’s Libertadores title-winning campaign. On that occasion, Corinthians won its sixth continental trophy unbeaten, finishing the competition with a victory over Colombia’s Deportivo Cali in the final played in October last year. The agreement provided that the prize money would be passed on to the players in installments.

Another amount still pending is related to the team’s participation in the FIFA Champions Cup. Corinthians finished the competition as runners-up after being beaten 3-2 by England’s Arsenal. For that campaign, the club received a multimillion prize from world football’s governing body, with part of the amount meant to be allocated to the players, coaching staff, and other professionals involved in the department.

The situation comes amid a period of strong financial pressure at Parque São Jorge. The club is dealing with billion-real debt and recorded an increase in its accumulated deficit in the first months of 2026, a scenario that affects different sectors of the institution.

Behind the scenes, the board is working to increase revenue earmarked for the sports divisions. According to Meu Timão, Corinthians is in advanced talks to sign a new sponsor for women’s football, as well as futsal and basketball. Internally, the possible deal is seen as important to ensure greater financial stability for the departments throughout the season.

On the field, the Brabas wrapped up their schedule this Saturday (30) before the calendar break for the World Cup. Corinthians faced Palmeiras at Allianz Parque in the third round of the Women’s Copa do Brasil and secured qualification for the round of 16. The win was sealed late in the game with a goal by Gabi Zanotti.
