Rafinha's Contract with Coritiba Terminated After Unapproved Bayern Munich Reunion

The Brazilian footballer participated in the Beckenbauer-Cup without notifying his club, leading to the mutual termination of his contract.

Rafinha's contract with Coritiba, originally valid until the end of 2025, was mutually terminated after his unauthorized participation in the Beckenbauer-Cup in Munich.
The 39-year-old joined a reunion with his former Bayern Munich teammates during the club's 125th-anniversary celebrations, playing for the FC Bayern Legends team.
Rafinha stated he traveled to Germany for a court appointment and spontaneously decided to participate in the event, but he did not inform Coritiba of his plans.
Coritiba was unaware of the tournament and expressed disapproval of Rafinha's actions, which led to the contract's termination.
Rafinha publicly acknowledged his mistake, expressed regret, and accepted full responsibility for his decision to participate without notifying his current club.
