Corinthians plans Fiel mosaic, fans from many cities for 116th bash | OneFootball

Corinthians is preparing new activities to turn Neo Química Arena into the stage for the club’s 116th anniversary celebrations this Sunday (6). Before and during the match against Chapecoense, scheduled for 7:30 p.m. (Brasília time) in the Brazilian Championship, the Fiel will take part in special initiatives promoted together with Esportes da Sorte.

One of them will be the so-called Mosaico da Fiel, an initiative announced on the club’s and its main sponsor’s social media. In the post, fans who will be at Neo Química Arena were advised to arrive at the stadium early and follow the instructions to take part in the tribute.

The initiative adds to the schedule prepared to celebrate Corinthians’ anniversary, which was marked last Tuesday, September 1. Since then, different actions have been carried out by the club and its partners to highlight the institution’s relationship with its supporters.

Fans from different places take part in the celebration

Another initiative shared on social media involves Corinthians fans who are far from Neo Química Arena. Supporters from different locations were invited to record videos reproducing the traditional “poropopó,” a chant that is part of the black-and-white stands.

The images shared this Sunday show submissions sent from different places, including Londrina, in Paraná. The idea is to bring the recordings together as part of the supporters’ mobilization for the 116th anniversary celebration.

The campaign had been launched by Esportes da Sorte during Corinthians’ anniversary week with the concept of creating the “biggest poropopó of all time.” The initiative called on fans to send videos reproducing the chant to be part of the tribute prepared for this Sunday.

On social media, Corinthians and Esportes da Sorte reinforced the call for those who will be in Itaquera, highlighting that the celebration will continue inside the black-and-white home before the Brazilian Championship clash.

The celebration will include other activities in the stands

The Mosaico da Fiel and the participation of supporters from different cities add to the program prepared for the night. As previously announced, the celebration will also feature a 3D mosaic measuring more than 990 m², produced by Bandeiras Digitalizadas to be raised in the East Stand of Neo Química Arena.

Also planned are hand banners distributed throughout the stadium, giant flags from the organized supporters’ groups, and the unveiling of the 116th piece of the Bandeiras do Centenário project by Estopim da Fiel.

The new flag from the supporters’ group will have its content revealed only at the stadium. The project has existed since Corinthians’ centenary in 2010 and adds a new piece to the collection on each club anniversary.

In this way, different initiatives are expected to fill the stands before kickoff, bringing together mosaics, flags, and supporter chants in Corinthians’ first match at Neo Química Arena after turning 116.

Corinthians hosts Chapecoense

After the celebratory program, the focus shifts to the Brazilian Championship fixture. Corinthians and Chapecoense face off at 7:30 p.m. in the 26th round of the competition.

Beyond the sporting importance of the clash, the match will bring part of the celebrations that began on the club’s anniversary into Neo Química Arena. The expectation is that the tributes will begin even before the players step onto the field.
