Corinthians sets record for longest transfer ban duration
⚡ In 30 seconds
  • Corinthians has reached 151 days under a FIFA-imposed transfer ban.
  • The sanction stems from an unpaid debt to Philadelphia Union for José Martínez.
  • The duration surpasses the club's previous record for a registration prohibition.

Corinthians has officially spent 151 days under a transfer ban as of Monday. The FIFA-imposed restriction is the result of an outstanding debt owed to the American club Philadelphia Union regarding the 2024 acquisition of midfielder José Martínez.

This duration marks the longest period in the club's history that they have been prohibited from registering new players. The current stretch exceeds the previous record of 150 days, which occurred between August 12, 2025, and January 9, 2026, during the tenure of president Osmar Stabile.
