Corinthians' statute reform vote suspended | OneFootball

The vote on the draft reform of the statute of Corinthians, which was scheduled to take place this Monday at Parque São Jorge during a meeting of the Deliberative Council, has been suspended.

The plenary voted unanimously that the club needs a change in its constitution. However, members of the Deliberative Council argued that more time is needed to discuss certain terms of the project.

According to Gazeta Esportiva, Jorge Kalil, Vinicius Cascone, Paulo Pedro, and Felipe Ezabella were among the council members who requested that the debates take place in a more spaced-out manner. Thus, the Council decided to postpone the vote and began discussing a new schedule.

There will be ten meetings to debate the topics of the project. At the end of this process, the new statute will be voted on and, subsequently, will go through a General Assembly with the club members. Therefore, the process is expected to be concluded only in March 2026.

Internal Conflict

This internal conflict had already been brewing behind the scenes at Parque São Jorge for several weeks. The president of the Corinthians Deliberative Council, Romeu Tuma Júnior, insisted that the Council vote on the new statute by the end of this month.

However, members of Cori (Advisory Council) argued that the vote should be canceled, precisely so that there would be more time to discuss certain topics. Romeu Tuma had already publicly expressed his desire to conclude the process by December of this year.

Main Topics

The main topics of the Corinthians statutory reform include:

The Statute Reform Committee has been working on the text since last year. The draft was prepared based on internal debates and suggestions from organized external groups, such as Gaviões da Fiel itself, which advocated for the right to vote for Fiel Torcedor members.
