Corinthians directors meet Conmebol president in Paraguay | OneFootball

This Thursday (3), Corinthians president Osmar Stabile and football executive Marcelo Paz visited Conmebol headquarters in Paraguay to strengthen ties with the organization’s president, Alejandro Domínguez. It is worth noting that, in the coming days, Timão will play in the Copa Libertadores quarterfinals, and in October, the women’s team will compete in the same tournament in Ecuador.

In a statement released by Corinthians, president Osmar Stabile spoke about the meeting, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a good relationship with the organization: “It was a very friendly meeting. We were very well received by president [Domínguez] and everyone at CONMEBOL for a conversation about the Libertadores, one of the major competitions we are playing in this year with both the men’s and women’s teams. It is always important to have this good institutional relationship with our continental confederation, and Corinthians will spare no effort in this regard,” he said.

On September 9 and 16, at 9:30 p.m. Brasília time, Corinthians will face Estudiantes in the Conmebol Libertadores quarterfinals. The first match will take place at Jorge Luís Hirsch Stadium in La Plata. The second match will be played at Neo Química Arena in São Paulo. In the group stage, Alvinegro topped Group E with 11 points and, in the round of 16, eliminated Rosario Central of Argentina. Their opponent, meanwhile, finished second in Group A with nine points and knocked out Universidad Católica of Chile in the previous round.

The meeting was also attended by former Paraguayan center-back Gamarra, who wore the Corinthians shirt in 1998 and 1999, making 80 appearances — 38 wins, 20 draws, and 22 losses — a 55.8% success rate. He won two titles: the Brazilian Championship (1998) and the Paulista Championship (1999), scoring seven goals.

Between October 15 and 31, in Ecuador, Corinthians Women will compete in the Libertadores Femenina. As Brabas are the tournament’s most successful team, having won in 2017 (in partnership with Audax), 2019, 2021, 2023, 2024, and 2025. The group stage draw will take place this month, with the date still to be set by Conmebol.

At the meeting, the Corinthians president also raised the topic of Neo Química Arena, which will serve as one of São Paulo’s venues and host ten matches during the 2027 Women’s World Cup, including one involving the Brazilian National Team, coached by Arthur Elias, who worked with Alvinegro from 2017 to 2023.
