FPF bans Corinthians supporters’ group from stadiums again, here’s why | OneFootball

The FPF (São Paulo Football Federation) has once again banned Gaviões da Fiel, the main organized supporters group of Corinthians, from attending stadiums with banners, flags, instruments, and accessories until the end of 2026.

The decision was published in Ordinance No. 214 of the entity last Wednesday, December 10, signed by Mauro Silva, vice-president of the FPF. The Federation responded to a request from the Public Prosecutor's Office of the Central Criminal Special Court.

The punishment was recommended by prosecutor Roberto Bocal due to the clash between uniformed supporters of Corinthians and São Paulo in the Bixiga neighborhood on November 20, after the classic match between the teams in the Brazilian Championship.

The press office of Gaviões da Fiel informed that the organized group's legal department is already aware of the situation and will comment “at the appropriate time”.

The punishment is immediate, meaning the uniformed supporters will not be able to use outfits or instruments this Sunday, when Timão hosts Cruzeiro for the second leg of the semifinal of the Copa do Brasil. The match kicks off at 6 p.m. (Brasília time) at the Neo Química Arena.

New Punishment

Recently, Gaviões da Fiel and five other organized groups of Corinthians were banned from entering stadiums due to incidents in the final of the São Paulo Championship this year, in March, against Palmeiras. The punishment was lifted at the end of October.

To be released, the uniformed groups had to sign a Conduct Adjustment Agreement (TAC) with the São Paulo Public Prosecutor's Office (MP-SP).

Match Situation

With a 1-0 victory in the first leg, Corinthians plays for a draw in the second match at the Neo Química Arena to advance to the Copa do Brasil final. A defeat by one goal difference would take the match to penalties. A loss by two or more goals would qualify Cruzeiro.
