The CBF released its 2023 financial statement this Tuesday (30). The entity broke a revenue record in yet another year and narrowly missed out on equaling Flamengo. In this sense, a total revenue of R$ 1.31 billion was recorded in 2023. The balance was approved by the state federations, in assembly.
In principle, as a comparison effect , the Flamengo, the club that earns the most in Brazil, had gross revenue of R$ R$ 1.37 billion. The CBF's numbers exceed revenue by around R$100 million compared to 2022.
The entity, at the same time, says that it invested around R$700 million in football. This involves selections, competitions, arbitration and federations. As a result, 2023 ended with a surplus of R$238.4 million. In 2022, the value was R$143.4 million.
CBF closed the year with R$1.04 billion in cash/financial investments
< "We had the best result ever. It was another record now. We increased our revenues to more than R$ 1.3 billion. And a surplus of R$ 238 million. This shows work not only increasing revenues, but also the promotion of football throughout the production chain. Women's football, grassroots, revenues destined for Series C and D clubs. This will mean that the CBF can also develop improvement projects throughout football, such as pitches and lighting", Ednaldo Rodrigues, president of the CBF, in an interview with the UOL portal.
The CBF's gross revenue is divided into three fronts:
Revenue operational: R$ 1.171 billion
Financial income: R$115.43 million
Other income: R$26.7 million
Total: 1.314 billion< /p>
What are the main sources?
There was a change in the origin of CBF's money. The budget for broadcasting and commercial rights exceeded that for sponsorship, which normally drives the CBF's revenue. In 2023, the entity signed a new contract with Copa do Brasil, for example, and closed new commercial agreements for competitions it organizes.
Therefore, it raised R$538 million with this item, which , individually, became the entity's largest source of revenue. Added to this, sponsorships had a slight drop compared to 2022, something normal after a World Cup. But the CBF also lost some partners. In any case, these contracts, some in dollars, generated R$527.9 million for the CBF.
The entity also accounted for R$45.7 million from box office and team prizes. Another R$31.2 million arrived via registrations and transfers. The account still has R$18.4 million in legacy from the World Cup, not counting R$9.2 million from the CBF Academy.

It wasn't easy, but Flamengo beat Mirassol this Saturday (9) at Maracanã by 2-1 and remains in first place in the Brasileirão. On Filipe Luís' 40th birthday, the team gave the gift of a victory and days of calm after being eliminated in the Copa do Brasil with goals from Léo Pereira and Gonzalo Plata. Gabriel, who played for Fla between 2013 and 2018, scored for Leão.
Flamengo didn't have its usual dominance of possession throughout the match, but still completely dominated the action in the first half. Mengão created great opportunities with shots from Samuel Lino and Gonzalo Plata and found the goal in the manner that has been common since the start of the season, with the presence of defenders in the box. After Lino's cross, Léo Pereira found the back of the net.
In the second half, Mirassol managed to level the scores, although Mengão continued to have great chances, albeit with a significant drop in pace . In the 23rd minute, Arrascaeta found a magical pass to Gonzalo Plata, who extended Flamengo 's lead. The former's rule, however, returned shortly after, with Gabriel pulling one back for the Lion.
After Mirassol's goal, both teams had opportunities to score, with goalkeepers Rossi and Walter shining in quick succession . Arrascaeta had a great opportunity in the six-yard box to score the third goal, but the ball went too high, securing the 2-1 result.
With the result, Flamengo remains in first place in the Brasileirão and will not be overtaken in this current round. The Mais Querido now turns its attention to the knockout stages of the Libertadores . This Wednesday (13), Internacional goes to Maracanã in the first leg of the round of 16 of the continental competition. The match will be at 9:30 pm.
The midfielder has not been given opportunities in the Mengão professional team with Filipe Luís and the Russian club is getting closer and closer to closing the deal.

Striker Matheus Gonçalves is close to joining CSKA Moscow in Russia. The Russian club has long-standing interest, but talks have progressed in recent weeks , and Flamengo is already admitting the possibility of losing the 19-year-old.
The proposal involves a loan with an option to buy at the end of the contract. If he excels in Russian football, CSKA will have priority to acquire the player permanently . Matheus' departure, however, is not expected to happen before the U-20 World Cup final, when Flamengo faces Barcelona.
Matheus Gonçalves was once close to a deal with Cruzeiro, but was reinstated to Filipe Luís's squad after strong performances with the U-20 team . Since then, he's played in the Brasileirão derby against Fluminense and was available for the Copa do Brasil clash with Atlético-MG. However, he hasn't left the bench in the last two matches.
Despite his desire to establish himself at Flamengo, Matheus Gonçalves recognizes the need for more regular play —something that's currently difficult to achieve at Rubro-Negro. Therefore, he authorized his staff to seek new opportunities, and CSKA Moscow emerged as an important opportunity, including for his first experience in Europe.
A product of Flamengo's youth academy, the striker played for Red Bull Bragantino in 2023, playing 13 matches . The São Paulo club attempted to sign him permanently, but the deal fell through. This season, Matheus has played 15 games and scored two goals for Flamengo.
The player is a product of Mengão's youth academy and is Galo's new signing for the 2025 season after a disappointing stint at Real Madrid.

Atlético-MG made official this Friday (08) the signing of midfielder Reinier , revealed by Flamengo. The 23-year-old player signed a contract valid until December 31, 2029. According to journalist Mauro Cezar Pereira, Mengão consulted the player's representatives, but considered the amounts requested too high for the moment.
Atlético-MG on Reinier, ex-Flamengo: "Reinier is a Rooster"
"Reinier is a Galo! An Olympic champion with experience at clubs in Spain, Germany, and Italy, the midfielder is Atlético's newest addition! At 23, he signed a contract until December 31, 2029, and will be another option for Cuca's squad . Keep it up, Reinier!" the club posted on social media.
Reinier rose to prominence in Brazilian football after being promoted to the professional team in 2019 under Jorge Jesus. That year, he was part of the squads that won the Brasileirão and Libertadores . For Flamengo , the midfielder made 15 appearances, scoring six goals and contributing two assists.
After excelling at Flamengo, he was sold to Real Madrid (ESP), but failed to make the first team. He played on loan at Borussia Dortmund (GER), Girona (ESP), and Frosinone (ITA) before returning to Brazil to play for Atlético-MG.
While Reinier reinforces Galo, Flamengo remains focused on the Brasileirão . This Saturday (09), the team faces Mirassol, at 6:30 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã, for the 18th round. The broadcast will be exclusive to Premiere, via pay-per-view.
