Corinthians back anti-racism drive with girls' academy players | OneFootball

In recent days, Corinthians has carried out a series of activities aimed at fighting racism with the youth women’s football teams. The initiative was developed by the club’s Cultural Department, through its Social Responsibility area, in partnership with the São Paulo Football Federation (FPF).

The meetings took place at the Corinthians Memorial and brought together athletes from the Brabinhas youth development categories for moments of dialogue, reflection, and awareness about racial issues present both inside and outside the sports environment. In addition to the discussion circles, the young players also had contact with the club’s historical collection, broadening their understanding of topics related to inclusion, diversity, and respect.

During the activities, speakers addressed situations of discrimination and prejudice that may arise throughout the athletes’ journeys, highlighting the importance of recognizing and confronting racist behavior in everyday life.

The conversations also encouraged the players to seek information and knowledge on the subject, reinforcing the need to identify discriminatory behavior that often goes unnoticed. The goal of the initiative was to help develop athletes who are more aware of their role in society, while also promoting a more respectful and inclusive sporting environment.

In a social media post, Corinthians’ Cultural Department emphasized that the initiative seeks to build anti-racist practices through the education and awareness of new generations.

“In partnership with the Brabinhas and the FPF, the Cultural Department, through Social Responsibility, has been promoting an initiative focused on combating racism and building anti-racist practices. The meetings are taking place at the Corinthians Memorial, with dialogue circles, reflection, and awareness, contextualizing our history to form a conscious new generation.”

The initiative adds to other actions developed by Corinthians in recent years related to fighting racism and promoting inclusion. The club has taken part in educational campaigns and carried out institutional actions aimed at raising awareness among fans, athletes, and staff.

Beyond its social impact, projects related to diversity and inclusion are also part of the criteria evaluated by the São Paulo Football Federation’s Excellence Program (PEX-FPF), which recognizes good management, governance, and social responsibility practices among clubs in the state of São Paulo.
