Corinthians ultras chief plans ‘wave of protests’ against board | OneFootball

On the afternoon of this Tuesday (11), Alexandre Domênico “Ale,” president of Gaviões da Fiel, Corinthians’ main organized supporters’ group, posted on his social media saying he is planning a “wave of protests” against club officials, including president Osmar Stabile, members of the Deliberative Council (CD), and the Advisory Council (CORI).

The protest, however, should take place next week, since at this moment Corinthians’ organized supporters’ groups are traveling in a caravan to Argentina for the first leg of the 2026 Conmebol Libertadores round of 16 against Rosario Central, at Gigante Arroyito Stadium, at 9:30 p.m. Brasília time, next Thursday (13).

“Faithful Supporters! Today (11), we will be leaving in a caravan toward Argentina. Our return is scheduled for Saturday. And next week, we will get organized! Faithful Supporters: a huge wave of protests is coming against all those who are harming Corinthians. The protest will be against the presidency, the board, the Deliberative Council, CORI, and the silent members,” said the president of Gaviões.

For some years now, Corinthians have been going through a delicate financial situation, which has worsened in recent months. With a debt close to R$ 3 billion, the club from Parque São Jorge is currently barred from registering any potential new signings and has three active transfer bans — two with FIFA and one with the CBF (National Chamber for Dispute Resolution – CNRD) — totaling approximately R$ 22 million.

Last Monday (10), at Parque São Jorge, Corinthians’ Deliberative Council, in a plenary vote, cleared Claudinei Alves and Valmir da Costa, former directors of Timão’s youth academy during the administration of ousted president Augusto Melo, of expulsion from the club’s membership rolls due to the events of May 31, 2025. The pair had been expelled by the Members’ Ethics Committee, but CD president Romeu Tuma Jr granted them a suspensive effect.

The statement by the president of Gaviões came a few hours before Corinthians announced that it would not renew striker Memphis Depay’s contract. The player has already spoken out on his social media, saying he is “very disappointed” with the situation. The news also sparked a reaction from many supporters online who, since then, had been pushing the hashtag “Stabile Out”, which even became one of the top trending topics on X, formerly Twitter.

Pages and collectives focused on Corinthians women’s football, including Fiel Fazendinha, also spoke out against the current president. It is worth remembering that the women’s squad is facing delays in bonus payments related to its latest titles and, at this moment, cannot use Alfredo Schürig Stadium, whose pitch is undergoing maintenance for the second time this year alone.
