Since late 2025, the Master Bank scandal has dominated Brazilian media due to its significant political and economic implications. The article aims to explore specifically how this scandal has impacted Brazilian football and what lessons can be learned from the situation. The focus lies particularly on the implications for two major teams: Corinthians and Palmeiras.

While both clubs have been somewhat affected, the overall consensus is that the day-to-day operations of these teams remain largely unchanged. The issues for Corinthians stem primarily from its stadium, Itaquerão, which is linked to financial resources managed by a fund that halted operations following the liquidation of its management due to irregularities tied to the Master scandal. This has left certain suppliers, particularly in security and maintenance, unpaid, raising concerns about the operational implications for the club.

Ultimately, the article suggests that Brazilian football clubs can take critical lessons from the Master scandal, particularly in terms of financial management and the importance of transparency in operations. As the scandal unfolds, it may prompt teams to reassess their financial practices and highlight the need for greater oversight to prevent similar crises in the future.
