Last Saturday (8), the official Corinthians soccer school network, Chute Inicial, inaugurated a new unit in Mexico. Project representatives – Marcelo Claro (manager) and Roger Brunelli (pedagogical coordinator) – were present in the municipality of Toluca, in the State of Mexico, the most populous region in the area.

In addition, the opening of the Corinthians Soccer Academy Mexico was also attended by the local founding partners: Vinicius Zanin (also represented by João Zanin), Ignacio Lebrija, and Victor Estrada. Project partners were also present, such as Dr. Luis Fernando Bedoya Espinosa (general director of Cumbres International School Toluca – which operates alongside the soccer school, with 53 units across the country) and Enrique Martínez Sánchez, the institution's sports coordinator.

Throughout the event, Mexican teachers aligned with the Chute Inicial Corinthians methodology were certified, followed by a technical evaluation of the local students, an aspect considered fundamental for pedagogical alignment ahead of the start of activities.

The ceremony was also attended by Maurício Horta (head of the Education and Culture Sector at the Brazilian Embassy in Mexico, representing Brazilian diplomacy), Martín Miño (owner of Depósito Dental El Argentino/Promedent Mexico), and Alfredo Jiménez (Organization Secretary of the Federation of Judiciary Workers Union, Toluca headquarters).

To the official Corinthians website, Marcelo Claro commented: “We are carrying out an agenda here with various activities, and it has been very positive. We had a meeting at the Brazilian Embassy in Mexico City and an excellent meeting with the Sports Director of Colégio Cumbres, as well as a presentation of the project to a group of students' parents.”

During their time in Mexico, Marcelo Claro and Roger Brunelli visited the Mexican Football Federation in Toluca, and also participated in a media schedule with interviews and recordings for TV Televisa, appeared live on a sports program on Radio Mexiquense, and gave interviews to football-related channels and streaming platforms.

The Chute Inicial Corinthians network was founded 30 years ago and serves students between 4 and 17 years old, with 69 units spread throughout Brazil.
