Paulo Nobre back at Allianz, on Palmeiras politics: ‘If that changes’ | OneFootball

Palmeiras beat Jacuipense 3-0 in their 2026 Copa do Brasil opener this Thursday (23) at the Allianz Parque. Ramón Sosa (2) and Felipe Anderson scored Palmeiras’ goals in the match.

Former Palmeiras president Paulo Nobre was at Allianz Parque after being away from the stands for about ten years.

The return was announced by Paulo himself in a social media post, in which he highlighted the importance of Allianz Parque in his personal journey and his historic connection with the club. According to him, his return to the stadium comes after a long period away, marking a significant moment in his relationship with Palmeiras.

Paulo also mentioned a promise he made after the team’s defeat to LDU in 2023. According to his account, he committed to returning to the stadium if Palmeiras managed to overturn the scoreline.

Still in the text, Paulo Nobre dismissed speculation about possible changes to his plans and said: “If that ever changes, I’ll return and let everyone know myself.”
