Corinthians confirm General Assembly after court approval, statute reform on agenda | OneFootball

Corinthians’ Deliberative Council has confirmed a General Assembly for Saturday at Parque São Jorge to debate 11 pre-approved themes for changes to the club statute.

According to Meu Timao, judge Rafael Viotti Schlobach authorised the meeting on Friday, ruling it must strictly mirror the terms, limits and scope of what had been discussed. As a result, only those 11 topics will be addressed and the base reform text will not be on the table.

On the same day, lifetime councillors Ademir Benedito, Guilherme Strenger and Alexandre Husni filed a document challenging the judicial approval and seeking suspension of the assembly.

The trio had previously succeeded in halting the 20 June assembly, alleging errors in the handling of the base text. Their request was lodged on 12 June and, four days later, appellate judge Mauricio Campos da Silva Velho of the fourth Chamber of Private Law of the São Paulo Court of Justice cancelled the meeting.

On 13 August, Deliberative Council president Romeu Tuma Júnior announced an official cancellation, citing a climate of legal uncertainty. That decision applied to the 20 June assembly, not the current one scheduled for 19 September.

Saturday’s session is set for the Ginásio Wlamir Marques, inside Parque São Jorge, between nine and five. Eligible voters are associates aged over 18, admitted more than five years ago, excluding militantes and dependants of any category, and they must be up to date with statutory obligations.

The 11 items cover voting rights for football associates, Fiel Torcedor, from 2026, reducing the Deliberative Council to 200 members with 150 elected and 50 lifetime, individual candidacies, a three-year voting qualification period, and a two-round system for president and vice presidents. They also include electing the Ethics Council via the assembly, creating two chambers, one for associates and one for councillors, with 11 members, limiting Cori ex officio members to the last five former presidents of the council and board, quarterly financial statements, a transitional rule allowing the current president to seek re-election, and obliging the board to fund the council’s budget.
