CBF changes rules to make signings easier in the Brasileirão | OneFootball

Currently, a player can play six matches before transferring to another team in the Brasileirão

The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) is making changes to the regulations of the Brazilian Championship starting next season. One of these changes is the limit on the number of matches each player can play in the Brasileirão before being transferred to another team.

According to journalist André Rizek, the CBF has increased the number of games. Thus, an athlete can play up to 12 times before being transferred to another team in the Brazilian Championship. Under the current rule, a professional can only participate in six matches.

WHAT IS THE REASON FOR THE CHANGE?

The CBF has reformed the Brazilian football calendar, and the new rules will take effect starting next year. Therefore, the Brasileirão is scheduled to begin in January 2026. This gives players more time to decide whether to stay with or leave a particular team.

MORE CHANGES IN BRASILEIRÃO RULES?

Additionally, the CBF is considering more rules for the next season. The entity is discussing behind the scenes to reduce the number of foreign players per team in Brasileirão matches. Currently, each club can have nine foreign players. This information comes from UOL.

WHEN DOES FLAMENGO PLAY?

Already champions of the Brazilian Championship, Flamengo remains focused on the Intercontinental Cup. The team led by Filipe Luís will face Pyramids (EGY) this Saturday (13th) at 2 PM (Brasília time) in the semifinals of the competition.
