Corinthians chiefs meet Alejandro Domínguez at Conmebol HQ in Paraguay | OneFootball

Corinthians president Osmar Stabile and football executive Marcelo Paz met Conmebol chief Alejandro Domínguez at the confederation’s headquarters in Luque, Paraguay. According to Meu Timao, the talks were cordial and aimed at strengthening ties.

Stabile said the reception was warm and stressed the value of dialogue as Corinthians contest the Libertadores with both men’s and women’s teams. He added the club would work hard to uphold that connection.

The men resume their bid for a second Libertadores crown next week against Estudiantes at Estadio Jorge Luis Hirschi in La Plata, the quarter-final first leg on 9 September at 21:30. The return takes place at Neo Química Arena on 16 September at the same time.

The Brabas will chase a seventh Women’s Libertadores title between 15 and 31 October in Quito, Ecuador. The group-stage draw has yet to be dated, though it is expected this month.

Former Paraguay defender Carlos Gamarra, a club idol and Brazilian and Paulista champion, also attended. He played for Corinthians in 1998 and 1999, making 80 appearances and scoring seven goals.

Off the pitch, Stabile discussed Neo Química Arena’s role as São Paulo’s venue for the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup. The ground will stage 10 matches, including a Brazil group game and a semi-final.

Stabile and Paz are due back in São Paulo on Thursday, with a decision looming on midfielder Breno Bidon amid interest from Besiktas in Türkiye. The Turkish club have until Friday to complete a deal before the window shuts.
