Corinthians fans threaten to expel members over Fiel Torcedor vote | OneFootball

The Gaviões da Fiel have issued a firm statement regarding one of the points that will be voted on in the Corinthians Statute reform this Monday. The main organized supporters group of the club stated that any advisors who are also members of the entity and vote against the proposal granting voting rights to members of the Fiel Torcedor program may be expelled from the supporters' association.

In an official statement, the group made it clear that this measure is provided for in its own internal statute and may be applied if any member votes against the proposal during the deliberation in the club's Deliberative Council.

“It is expressly communicated: any advisor of Sport Club Corinthians Paulista who is associated with the Gaviões da Fiel and votes against the project that guarantees the Fiel Torcedor's vote will be subject to expulsion from the association, under the terms of article 25, section III, item ‘a’, of the Gaviões da Fiel Statute”, the group stated in an official communication – read the full text below.

The Corinthians Deliberative Council meeting is scheduled to start at 6 p.m. this Monday at Parque São Jorge. In the meeting, the advisors will discuss and vote on the proposal to reform the club's Statute, which includes significant changes to the institution's political structure.

Among the topics under discussion is the possibility for members of the Fiel Torcedor program to gain voting rights in the Corinthians presidential elections. For this discussion, three different proposals have been presented to the advisors.

The first alternative proposes that Fiel Torcedor members can vote for the club's president and vice-president after four consecutive years with an active plan. In this case, it would also be necessary to pay a fee equivalent to a quarter of the monthly contribution of a club member, currently set at R$ 60.25.

The second proposal maintains the same rules for the time of compliance but allows fans who have kept the plan up to date in the last four years to vote in this year's elections without the need to pay any additional fee.

The third option advocates maintaining the current model of the Statute, in which participants of the Fiel Torcedor program do not have voting rights in the club's electoral process.

Although the options are on the meeting's agenda, the final decision may not be made directly in the Deliberative Council. According to the planned procedure, a proposal will only be approved if it receives a simple majority of votes, that is, 50% plus one among the advisors present.

If none of the alternatives reach this number, the two most voted proposals will be taken to a General Assembly. In this scenario, it will be up to the club's members to choose which model will be incorporated into the new Statute. Another relevant factor is that the voting will be open, allowing fans to know later how each advisor positioned themselves during the decision.

In addition to the official position, the Gaviões da Fiel also called on the fans for a demonstration at Parque São Jorge this Monday. The protest is scheduled to start at 4 p.m., before the Deliberative Council meeting.

According to the group, the purpose of the act is to closely monitor the statutory reform voting process and push for changes that increase fans' participation in the club's political decisions, especially on the issue involving the voting rights of Fiel Torcedor members.

In the released statement, the supporters also argued that the articles of the reform should be voted on separately. For the Gaviões, the debate on including the Fiel Torcedor's voting rights should occur independently, and not in block votes along with other points of the Statute reform.

OPEN LETTER TO THE ADVISORS OF SPORT CLUB CORINTHIANS PAULISTA AND THE MEMBERS OF GAVIÕES DA FIEL

This Monday (9), the proposal to reform the Social Statute of Sport Club Corinthians Paulista will be voted on, with public and unequivocal knowledge that the Gaviões da Fiel fully support the Fiel Torcedor's right to directly choose the club's president already in the 2026 elections, ensuring more democracy, participation, and transparency.

Our entity was born to oversee and protect Corinthians. Therefore, we have always acted in the non-negotiable defense of principles that place the fan at the center of decisions.

Therefore, we will not accept votes that contradict the Fiel Torcedor's rights or that stray from the historical values of our supporters.

Thus, it is expressly communicated: any advisor of Sport Club Corinthians Paulista who is associated with the Gaviões da Fiel and votes against the project that guarantees the Fiel Torcedor's vote will be subject to expulsion from the association, under the terms of article 25, section III, item “a”, of the Gaviões da Fiel Statute.

Consistency with our principles is mandatory. There will be no exceptions.

We count on everyone's responsibility, commitment, and loyalty.
