Prime Video will continue its strategy of bringing in former players and other prominent figures from Brazilian football to boost the appeal of sports broadcasts. The streaming platform will feature Muricy Ramalho in the broadcasts of the derbies between Grêmio and Internacional for the quarterfinals of the Copa do Brasil 2026.

first clash and commentary team

The first clash will be played this Thursday (27), starting at 8 p.m. (Brasília time), at the Beira-Rio. The return match will take place next week, on September 3 (Wednesday), at the Arena do Grêmio, also at 8 p.m. For the first match of the series, Prime Video's broadcast will feature Fernando Nardine, Rafa Oliveira, Nadine Bastos, Fernanda Arantes, Rafael Morientes, and Felipe Bueno, in addition to Muricy.

muricy's connection with gaúcho football

The choice of the former coach aligns with his connection to Gaúcho football. Muricy Ramalho managed Internacional in 2002, during a time of crisis after the club fought against relegation the previous year. During his tenure, he was responsible for promoting athletes such as Rafael Sobis, Nilmar, and Daniel Carvalho, as well as participating in the integration of signings like Fernandão.

other former footballers already on prime video's screen

In other matches of the competition, both this year and in previous seasons, Prime Video has also brought on former athletes or coaches. Former players Marcos, Neto, Aloísio Chulapa, Cicinho, and Lucas Leiva, among several others, have also already participated in the streaming service's broadcasts.

The agreement with Amazon's service also represents another move by Muricy Ramalho in the sports media market. Late last year, he had stepped down from his position as technical coordinator at São Paulo to prioritize his health. His return to the sector occurred recently, when he joined SBT's commentary team during the coverage of the 2026 World Cup.

lectures and corporate work

In addition to his broadcast appearances, the former coach has been focusing his attention on the corporate market by delivering lectures.

inter does not hold pre-match camp before gre-nal due to delayed image rights

Inter did not hold its traditional pre-match camp before Gre-Nal 453, valid for the quarterfinals of the Copa do Brasil. The reason, as reported by ge, was a two-month delay in the payment of image rights to the players.

players' stance and up-to-date salaries

The squad trained in the morning and reported to the hotel for lunch this Thursday. The decision was not unanimous within the squad. Midfielder Alan Patrick was one of the voices against the measure and tried to resolve it. Other players reportedly also took a stand against it, but their names were kept confidential. According to ge's reporting, salaries are up to date. The outstanding issue involves only the players' image rights.

information confirmed and context of the delay

The information was published by GZH and confirmed by ge. In July, ge reported that the club owed one month of image rights to the squad and two installments of an agreement signed last year. Since then, the delay in image rights has increased to two months.
