Corinthians has entered the Campeonato Brasileiro relegation zone after a 3-2 defeat against Vasco at São Januário. Despite overcoming an early deficit under manager Clarence Seedorf to lead in the second half, the team ultimately conceded the match, a result compounded by Internacional’s victory over Botafogo.
In the Série C, Maringá claimed its first national title in the club's 16-year history. The team secured the trophy with a 2-1 win over Ferroviária in the second leg of the final, capping off a campaign that saw both a coaching change and a successful promotion to Série B.
Separately, Cruzeiro has demonstrated financial stability according to the Agência Nacional de Regulação e Sustentabilidade do Futebol (ANRESF). The club reported no overdue payments and confirmed it remains up to date with obligations related to its judicial recovery process, which began in 2022.
