Model determines restrictions on spending, boundaries for SAFs and punishments such as record blocking, loss of points and tournament exclusion
A (Brazilian Football Confederation) works on the creation of a system of fair play Financial for Brazilian clubs, which should come into force in 2026. The set of rules seeks to ensure greater sustainability in team management.
According to members of the working group, the initial punishment for those who do not comply with the rules will be the athlete registration blockade, known as transfer ban. After 3 years of transition, additional sanctions may be applied, such as loss of points or restriction to participation in specific tournaments.
The model in elaboration follows examples adopted in Europe. Countries and entities such as the (Union of European Football Associations) apply different penalties, ranging from the loss of points to exclusion of championships and relegation.
Another point discussed was the limitation of contributions in clubs, especially in SAFs (Pic Football Societies). The proposal under study does not set a roof for investments, but brings locks for football spending on revenue, ranging from 70% to 80% in international leagues.
CBF’s working group brings together 34 clubs and 10 state federations. The expectation is to present the project in November and seek consensus for the application of the new rules as early as 2026.
