Santos FC makes first filing under CBF financial fair play | OneFootball

Santos FC submitted, this Monday (11), the first set of documentation related to the Financial Sustainability System (SSF), the technical name for the CBF’s Financial Fair Play.

The report was submitted to ANRESF (National Agency for the Regulation and Sustainability of Football), the regulatory body for Financial Fair Play, and is part of a series of mandatory annual filings by Serie A and B clubs to comply with the entity’s requirements.

The first submission addressed the solvency requirement. The next ones, spread throughout the year, will cover financial reporting, governance/transparency, and budget information requirements.

And all submissions require a cross-functional process carried out by several areas of the Club, bringing together the Compliance, Finance, Accounting, and Human Resources Departments.

The filing requirement began in 2026, with the entry into force of the respective regulation on the matter.

Financial Fair Play is the set of rules that regulates the economic health of clubs and the integrity of competitions, with the main objective of ensuring the solvency and sustainability of sports entities.

Since the beginning of the regulation of the new system, Santos FC has played an active role through the Working Group established by the CBF, effectively contributing elements that were incorporated into the final version of the regulations.

“CBF’s Financial Fair Play represents an important step forward for Brazilian football. Santos FC understands that sustainability, responsibility, and transparency must go hand in hand with sporting competitiveness. Compliance with these requirements reinforces our commitment to increasingly professional management aligned with best governance practices,” said president Marcelo Teixeira.

“More than a regulatory obligation, Financial Fair Play represents an opportunity to strengthen the culture of planning, responsibility, and integrity within football. Santos FC is following this evolution with seriousness and a sense of institutional responsibility,” he added.
