Corinthians board ends debates, prepares for statute reform vote | OneFootball

The Corinthians Deliberative Council concluded, this Monday (9), the cycle of debates on the club's statutory reform, aimed at improving the proposals contained in the draft presented in October of last year. The final text will be submitted to a vote by the councilors in March and, subsequently, to the appreciation of the General Assembly of Members, on dates yet to be defined.

According to the body's schedule, the Statute Reform Commission is expected to publicly present the revised project after Carnival, after incorporating into the text the contributions gathered in public hearings and the meeting held this Monday.

Unlike the ten public hearings previously held, this evening's meeting was not open to members, fan representatives, press, or collectives, but reserved exclusively for Council members. Among triennial and lifetime members, about 70 councilors were present at the Parque São Jorge theater to update themselves on the main topics debated in the meetings held since December 2025.

The table was composed of President Osmar Stabile, the presidents of the club's oversight bodies – Romeu Tuma Júnior (Deliberative Council), Miguel Marques e Silva (Cori), and Haroldo Dantas (Fiscal Council); the president of the Ethics and Discipline Commission Leonardo Pantaleão, as well as members of the Statute Reform Commission, chaired by Dalton Gioia.

According to the Central do Timão, the president of the Deliberative Council presented to the board the articles that received more than one proposal for wording, aiming to inform the councilors about the most sensitive points that may be put to a vote if there is no consensus. Despite this, there was no merit assessment of the text or definition regarding the voting format.

During the meeting, there was a disagreement between former legal director Vinícius Cascone and lifetime councilor Rubens Gomes, known as Rubão, which required Tuma's intervention, temporarily interrupting the proceedings. Members of the organized fan group Gaviões da Fiel were present at the club but remained outside the theater.

According to Tuma, the debates held over the past two months helped reduce resistance among councilors and brought the topic to a maturity stage that allows for the appreciation and voting of the reform. Initially scheduled for November 24, 2025, the deliberation was postponed because the draft presented by the Statute Reform Commission in October had not gathered enough support to be brought to the plenary.

“It was a very tiring and exhausting job, but important and relevant, especially at this moment, because statutory changes have not been made for many years. We need to show the Corinthians society that we are attentive and that voices outside Parque São Jorge are very important for Corinthians. This statutory reform gives the importance that this topic deserves,” stated the CD president in an interview with the press.

The last statutory reform of Corinthians occurred in 2008, and the Statute is currently considered outdated. Among the main points under debate are the adaptation of the text to the General Sports Law, the discussion about the Fiel Torcedor vote, and the regulation of a possible SAF constitution in the club. The draft also proposes changes in the election format, the composition of oversight bodies, and the board, among other aspects.
