Corinthians make R$ 2.9m renting Neo Química Arena for New Year’s Eve | OneFootball

Corinthians secured an approximate revenue of R$ 2.9 million from renting out the Neo Química Arena for the Vira Brasil 2026 event in São Paulo, an evangelical celebration scheduled for the night of December 31. The event is organized by the Lagoinha Baptist Convention and marks the turn of the year in the São Paulo capital.

According to information from Metrópoles, the amount is included in the work plan presented by the organization to the São Paulo City Hall as part of the justification for a municipal sponsorship of R$ 4 million. In the document, the stadium rental appears as the highest-cost item, with a budget of R$ 2,792,690.00, an amount allocated to Corinthians for the use of the space.

The remainder of the public funds will be used mainly for setting up the event structure, including the stage, equipment, and operational services, as well as promotional activities, which total around R$ 50,000.

Initially, the São Paulo edition of the event was scheduled to take place at Allianz Parque. The organization even paid a fee of R$ 40,000 for the operating permit at the Palmeiras stadium. However, plans changed, and the celebration was moved to Neo Química Arena. The change was announced on the same day that Mayor Ricardo Nunes (MDB) confirmed the City Hall’s financial support for the event.

The holding of such events in the capital’s stadiums has already sparked recent debates. In the previous edition, which took place at Allianz Parque, there were questions from local residents about time limits and noise levels. At the time, the discussion involved regulations from the Urban Silence Program (PSIU) and even led to attempts at legislative changes, which were later suspended by court decision.

When contacted, Corinthians stated that it does not comment on or disclose amounts agreed upon with partners for holding events at Neo Química Arena.
