Palmeiras reaffirmed its excellence in management and governance by winning the main award of the Paulista Football Federation (FPF) Excellence Program for the sixth consecutive time. The 2025 edition marked the club’s seventh victory in the Gold category, consolidating a streak that began in 2017, with interruptions only in the 2018 and 2019 seasons, when the club chose not to participate.
The award ceremony, held at the FPF headquarters in São Paulo, was attended by Rogério Ortega, Palmeiras’ Manager of Management and Strategic Planning, who represented the club. President Leila Pereira expressed her satisfaction with the recognition.
“We are very pleased to receive this important award from the Paulista Federation. The goal of our management is, through the best governance practices, to strengthen Palmeiras more and more, investing in improvements to our structure and the qualification of our professionals,” she stated.
Created at the end of 2015, the FPF Excellence Program aims to evaluate and recognize the clubs in the state of São Paulo that demonstrate the best practices in various areas. The analysis covers criteria such as youth categories, fan base, infrastructure, business, athletes and coaching staff, technical performance, women’s football, human resources, affiliation, and management and finances. The awards are divided into Gold, Silver, and Bronze categories, with Palmeiras consistently standing out in the top category.
Leila Pereira highlighted the importance of continuous work for the club’s future. “With a lot of hard work and dedication, I am sure we will bring much joy to our fans this year and in the coming seasons,” said the president, projecting a successful future for Verdão.
