Corinthians seeks permit for Neo Química Arena revamp and expansion | OneFootball

Corinthians filed, this Thursday, the amendment project related to the renovation approval permit for Neo Química Arena with the São Paulo City Hall. The club’s board wants to increase the capacity of the Corinthians stadium.

Last week, in a similar move, the club had already submitted the request to the Fire Department. With that, the club took another step toward expanding the Arena’s capacity.

The request made by Corinthians seeks authorization to remove seats from the South stand of Neo Química Arena, with the aim of increasing the capacity of that area. The club also wants to expand the Upper East stand.

“The initiative aims to improve the fans’ experience, meeting a long-standing demand from supporters for larger sections,” the club wrote in an official statement.

After the permit is granted by São Paulo City Hall, the project will be submitted to the Military Police for review in order to approve the Safety Report.
