São Paulo court clears Corinthians Assembly on statute reform, limits talks to 11 items | OneFootball

A São Paulo court has cleared Corinthians to hold a General Assembly on 19 September on statute reform, but debate is limited to 11 pre-approved items and the base text will not be discussed. According to Meu Timao, the order came on Friday.

Judge Rafael Viotti Schlobach said the meeting must mirror exactly what was previously debated, so only those 11 items go to a final vote. Court costs will be split equally between the councillors, the club and Leonardo Pantaleão, the Ethics Committee chair.

On 12 June, lifetime councillors Ademir Benedito, Guilherme Strenger and Alexandre Husni sought annulment, alleging flaws in the base text’s processing. On 13 June, Deliberative Council president Romeu Tuma Júnior cancelled the AG, citing legal uncertainty.

Four days after the filing, appellate judge Mauricio Campos da Silva Velho of the 4th Chamber of Private Law also cancelled the meeting. Tuma’s move concerned the AG set for 20 June, not the assembly now slated for 19 September.

The vote will run on Saturday 19 September from 9.00 to 17.00. Eligible voters are members over 18 and admitted for more than five years, excluding militantes and dependents, and only if up to date with statutory obligations.

The 11 items are: 1) Fiel Torcedor voting from 2026, 2) Council cut to 200, with 150 elected and 50 lifetime, 3) individual candidacies for the Council, 4) voting qualification cut to three years, 5) two-round elections for president and vice presidents, 6) Ethics Council chosen by the Assembly, 7) Ethics Council set at 11 members elected by the Assembly, 8) Cori ex officio seats limited to the last five former presidents of the Council and the board, 9) quarterly financial statements, 10) a transitional rule allowing the current president’s re-election, 11) a budget obliging the board to fund the Council’s demands.
