Bruno Rodrigues joins off-season tournament, risks Palmeiras ban | OneFootball

The forward Bruno Rodrigues may be punished by Palmeiras due to his participation in a football tournament in Ceará-Mirim, in Rio Grande do Norte, the hometown of the 28-year-old athlete. The punishment has not yet been determined, but a fine is expected to be imposed.

Last Sunday, Bruno Rodrigues played in the final of the Ceará-Mirim Municipal Championship, representing Guarani de Gravatá, the team from the community where he was raised, and ended up winning the title against Vasco de Sítio.

In a statement, Palmeiras explained the possibility of punishment, information that was initially published by ESPN and confirmed by Gazeta Esportiva.

“The participation of a professional Palmeiras athlete in any activity that puts their physical integrity at risk during the vacation period must be previously authorized by the Football Department. Otherwise, the professional athlete in question is subject to the sanctions provided for in the club’s internal regulations,” said the Palmeiras statement.

Bruno Rodrigues was signed by Palmeiras in December 2023, but went through difficult times with two serious knee injuries that kept him off the field for a long period. After two surgeries on both knees, Bruno Rodrigues only returned to the team in September this year.

In 2025, he played 11 games and scored two goals. The forward has a contract with Palmeiras until December 31, 2028.
