In the call published on social media, the organizers highlighted that the moment is considered important for Corinthians’ political future and asked for supporters to be present peacefully during the course of the trial.

The statement also mentions recent decisions involving former club officials. According to the group, the exclusion of former presidents from the club’s membership reinforces demands for greater responsibility in Corinthians’ management and increases expectations for changes in the institution’s political environment.

In addition, the supporters directed a message to the council members who will take part in the vote, stressing the importance of decisions guided by transparency and the interests of the club. The demonstration also states that the supporters will continue to closely monitor developments related to Corinthians’ administration.

Augusto Melo’s trial comes at a time of intense political movement at Parque São Jorge. The result of the session could represent another chapter in the internal discussions surrounding Corinthians’ administrative direction in recent years.

Supporters are expected to attend the site to follow the meeting and express their position on the matter, while the Deliberative Council conducts its review of the case.

Official statement:

“Attention, Faithful Supporters! This Monday (1st), starting at 4 p.m., we will gather in a peaceful demonstration to follow the process of expelling Augusto Melo from the club’s membership. The former Corinthians president will be tried in proceedings related to the attempted coup in 2025. Previously, he was removed from office after being impeached, motivated by allegations of irregularities, as well as violations of the General Sports Law and the club’s bylaws.

Within the span of just a few days, two former presidents have already been excluded from the club’s membership. This gives us hope for better days, but above all, it shows that the strength of the Corinthians supporters is making a difference. It is clear that incompetent or ill-intentioned directors, as well as council members who act in their own self-interest, will no longer be tolerated and will have no place at Corinthians.

To the council members, the message is clear: this is a moment that demands responsibility, transparency, and a real commitment to Corinthians. Every decision made now will be on record and will be closely watched by the supporters. The Faithful do not forget, do not stay silent, and no longer accept decisions that go against the club’s interests. Corinthians supporters are alert, organized, and increasingly aware of their role.”
