It’s very easy to see why Marcela Soares turned to OnlyFans, but her side hustle may have doomed her job.
The Brazilian futsal player says she has been fired from her futsal club for posting explicit content on the subscription-based adult site. The team, however, denies her claims.

Brazilian futsal player claims she was cut from team over explicit OnlyFans content Back to video
“This decision has no contractual basis. It is a moral judgment. There is no clause that prevents me from making these videos,” Soares told O Globo earlier this week.
Soares was a member of Celemaster Uruguaianense and had posted several pictures of herself playing for the club on her Instagram account.
While some have accused her of being “bad example for children,” Soares maintains that she did nothing wrong.
She said she would have liked to continue to play the sport — if it didn’t interfere with her personal life.
“I was judged, excluded and felt betrayed even by other women. But I also achieved something: Freedom and financial independence. Today I feel stronger,” she told NewsX.
According to reports, before signing up for OnlyFans Soares was earning just $96 per month, which barely was enough to cover her transportation for training.
Now, she says that she has raked in nearly $10,000 within just four weeks of launching her account.
“It’s sad but I leave the sport with a clear conscience. If I’d had this financial return from sport, I would never have left it,” she said.
Soares has a history of resentment with her former club, including a dispute over an injury suffered during a training session with a teammate. According to reports, she claimed the club was unhelpful, delaying surgery before scheduling it at a time she could not attend.
Soares also had filed a lawsuit against Celemaster Uruguaianense in October 2024, demanding almost $19,000 in compensation for unpaid labour benefits. The case was dismissed later in the year.
When reached for comment by F5, Celemaster Uruguaianense denied firing Soares due to her involvement with adult content and said she had voluntarily left the team.
Coach Andre Malfussi and club president Auri Guedes Pereira also rejected her claims.
