Council president responds to Casares impeachment, calls meeting | OneFootball

The request for the removal of president Julio Casares from São Paulo received new updates this Friday (26). The president of the club’s Deliberative Council, Olten Ayres de Abreu Júnior, responded to the request filed by council members for the impeachment of the president and called an extraordinary meeting.

On that occasion, members of the opposition to the current administration managed to collect 57 signatures, enough for the impeachment motion to go to a vote at the club. Thirteen of those signatures came from members aligned with the Tricolor’s current administration.

Now, as confirmed by AVANTE MEU TRICOLOR, Olten Ayres has called a meeting of the Advisory Council to discuss the impeachment of Julio Casares. This body is composed of former São Paulo presidents and members of the Deliberative Council.

The names are: Carlos Augusto de Barros e Silva, Carlos Miguel Castex Aidar, Fernando José P. Casal de Rey, Ives Gandra da Silva Martins, José Carlos Ferreira Alves, José Eduardo Mesquita Pimenta, Julio Cesar Casares, Marcelo Abranches Pupo Barboza, Milton José Neves, Olten Ayres de Abreu Junior, Paulo Amaral Vasconcelos, and Paulo Planet Buarque.

The meeting, which will not include any kind of vote on whether or not Casares will step down, is scheduled for January 12, 2026. At this meeting, the topic of impeachment will be discussed among the club’s ‘upper echelon’.

This process is provided for in Article 79 of São Paulo’s Statute and is required for the removal of any president.

“To revoke the mandate of any member of the Elected Board, the President of the Deliberative Council, upon receiving a written and substantiated request to this effect, shall call, after previously consulting the Advisory Council, an Extraordinary Meeting of the Deliberative Council, in which the accused will be assured full defense, as provided by the Internal Regulations of SPFC,” states the document.

After this meeting, the Deliberative Council is then required to convene for a vote on the impeachment. Finally, the removal of Julio Casares will be finalized if two-thirds of the council members approve, that is, 170 out of the current 256 members of the Tricolor.
