Corinthians pay women's squad image rights after 22-day delay | OneFootball

Corinthians settled the payment of image rights for the women’s squad on Tuesday afternoon (7). The amounts referred to the month of June and had been overdue since the 15th, totaling 22 days outstanding. The information was first reported by journalist Anne Campos.

This is the second straight month in which the club has delayed payment of the Brabas’ image rights. In May, the same situation occurred and was only resolved on the 29th, on the eve of the 1-0 win over Palmeiras in the third round of the Women’s Copa do Brasil.

Despite the settlement of the image rights, Corinthians still has outstanding amounts owed to the women’s squad. Among them are installments of the prize money for the 2025 Women’s Libertadores title, which, according to the agreement between the club and the players, would be paid in 12 installments.

Another financial commitment still unresolved involves the team’s Women’s Champions Cup campaign. After finishing as runners-up in the competition, Corinthians received R$ 5.3 million from FIFA, and the agreement in place provides for 80% of that amount to be passed on to the squad, coaching staff, and other members of the women’s football department.

On the other hand, the salaries registered under labor contracts (CLT) were paid in advance last Friday (3). The deposit was made before the usual deadline, which is the fifth business day of each month.

The delays come amid the club’s financial situation. Corinthians has accumulated gross debt of approximately R$ 2.7 billion and posted a cumulative deficit of R$ 168 million through April 2026, an amount higher than projected in the budget for the period.

In an attempt to boost revenue for its sports divisions, Corinthians recently announced a new sponsorship deal involving the women’s football team, as well as the futsal and basketball teams. The agreement with Fatal Fans provides for an investment of R$ 22 million.

While awaiting the resumption of competitions after the World Cup break, the squad coached by Emily Lima continues preparing for its next official match. The Brabas return to the field on July 17 at 7 p.m. (Brasília time), when they host Ferroviária at Parque São Jorge in the fourth round of the Women’s Paulista Championship.
