Councillors and members at Corinthians file impeachment bid for Stabile | OneFootball

By Tiago Salazar

A group of Corinthians members and advisors filed a request with the Deliberative Council on Wednesday seeking the impeachment of president Osmar Stabile. The initiative also calls for the executive to be temporarily removed while the facts outlined in the document are reviewed by the club’s internal bodies.

The information was first reported by UOL and confirmed by Gazeta Esportiva. The report also found that Leonardo Pantaleão, who officially took over as president of the club’s Deliberative Council after the removal of Romeu Tuma Júnior, is expected to review the case later this Wednesday.

Administrative and financial management

According to the authors of the request, the board committed violations of Corinthians’ Bylaws and current sports legislation. The text filed with the Deliberative Council argues that decisions made by the club’s top leadership put the club’s assets and institutional credibility at risk.

The central point of the challenge involves an agreement formalized at the beginning of 2026 between Corinthians and the Attorney General’s Office of the National Treasury (PGFN). The negotiation aimed to restructure the club’s tax debt to the federal government, estimated at around R$ 1.2 billion.

Parque São Jorge at the center of the dispute

According to the document, the board allegedly offered the properties of the club’s social headquarters, Parque São Jorge, as collateral in the agreement with the PGFN. The site is valued at approximately R$ 602 million.

The advisors who signed the request claim that this decision was made without following the procedure required by Corinthians’ Bylaws, which call for approval by a qualified majority of the Council at a meeting convened specifically for that purpose. In the group’s view, the procedure adopted would constitute a serious violation of internal rules.

Questions over transparency

In addition to the transaction with the PGFN, the signatories also point to what they describe as a lack of transparency by the current administration. The impeachment request cites the absence of responses to formal inquiries related to topics such as maintenance of Neo Química Arena, changes in the management of the stadium fund, and the criteria for distributing tickets and credentials.

These points, according to the advisors, indicate a failure to comply with basic management and institutional communication obligations.
