Confederation begins the conversation with clubs to prepare document; European leagues have been available for rules for decades
Representatives of 34 clubs met with the direction of CBF (Brazilian Football Confederation) this Monday (11.ago.2025), in Rio de Janeiro, to begin to discuss the creation of a financial fair play model for sports in the country.
The CBF projects to present a final document on 26 November, during a Confederation event in São Paulo. Until then, you will receive suggestions for the elaboration of resource management rules, a practice already present in European leagues for decades.
Financial Fair Play is a set of rules that clubs should follow to avoid spending beyond revenues, keep accounts balanced, guarantee payment of creditors and give transparency to football business, without creating artificial situations from expense expenses. If the clubs do not comply with the rules, they can be punished.
Germany was a pioneer in creating the first financial rules for its teams in 1962. Other alloys also adopted various models. Italy did this in 1981. UEFA, an organization that unites European football associations, created a comprehensive model in 2009.
Who will coordinate the working group responsible for gathering suggestions for the creation of the Brazilian model is Ricardo Gluck Paul, vice president of CBF and president of the Paraense Football Federation.
