This Friday (8), Leonardo Pantaleão, acting president of Corinthians’ Deliberative Council, set the date for the General Assembly of Members (GA) to vote on the club’s statutory reform. The vote will take place on June 20, according to reporting by Central do Timão.

The vote will be held from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Parque São Jorge, Corinthians’ social headquarters, located in Tatuapé, in the East Zone of São Paulo. Voting will take place through a printed ballot system. If approved, the changes will take effect immediately. It is worth noting that members admitted more than five years ago, up to date with their dues, and over 18 years old will be eligible to vote.

The document accessed by Central do Timão establishes that members will have to decide whether to uphold the Deliberative Council’s decision, which by majority rejected the base text of the statutory reform on April 29, or approve the proposed amendment to the club’s bylaws presented by the Reform Commission. In addition, they may choose to approve the motion to insert the amendments approved by the councilors last Monday (4) separately from the winning text, or vote to veto it and, consequently, keep the current bylaws.

In the order, Leonardo Pantaleão even acknowledges the need to readjust the internal rules in line with the General Sports Law (LGE), enacted in mid-2023, and stresses that the GA is sovereign regarding the decision on changes to the bylaws and that the Council does not have the power to “definitively prevent the membership from expressing itself on matters of a structural and institutional nature.”

It is worth remembering that, as mentioned, at a meeting in the Noble Hall of Parque São Jorge, the 81 councilors present approved 12 of the 14 amendments — those with more than one proposal — to change the bylaws, including the participation of Fiel Torcedor members in the club’s elections as early as 2026, a veto on the mechanisms of a possible implementation of a SAF (Sociedade Anônima do Futebol / Football Corporation), and the possibility of president Osmar Stabile’s reelection.

Before the GA, the councilors will meet on Monday, May 18, also in the Noble Hall of Parque São Jorge, to deliberate on one of the agenda items not discussed at the last meeting — the election to compose the members of Corinthians’ Advisory Council, which has more than one option to choose from.

During the second half of 2025 and the beginning of 2026, 11 public hearings were held to discuss which proposals would be included in the preliminary draft of the statutory reform. The meetings were attended by councilors, members, and representatives of collective groups. Corinthians’ current bylaws were drafted in 2008 and underwent specific changes, the most recent of which came in 2017.
