Former Brazilian international footballer Vampeta predicts several current Campeonato Brasileiro Série A clubs will face relegation at the end of the 2025 season. the outspoken analyst made the forecast during a recent appearance on the Jovem Pan sports program on december 2, 2025, at approximately 04:18:18 BRT.
Vampeta identified a group of teams he believes are underperforming and lack the necesary quality to avoid the drop. His assessment carries weight given his extensive experience in brazilian football, having played for clubs including Corinthians, Flamengo, and Vasco da Gama, and winning the 1997 Copa Libertadores with Vasco. Relegation from Série A carries important financial consequences for clubs, impacting revenue from broadcasting rights, sponsorships, and matchday attendance, and possibly leading to player departures.
“Several teams are playing poorly and don’t have the strength to stay up,” Vampeta stated on jovem Pan.He did not specify the exact number of clubs he anticipates being relegated, but implied a higher-than-usual turnover is likely. the 2025 Brazilian Championship season is scheduled to conclude in December,with the four lowest-placed teams being relegated to Série B for the following year. The identities of those teams will have major implications for the composition of Brazil’s top flight in 2026.
