Corinthians president heads to the United States for CBF event | OneFootball

On the night of this Thursday (11), Corinthians president Osmar Stabile will travel to the United States to take part in an immersive event organized by the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF). The governing body of Brazilian football, along with members of the state federations, will bring together executives from clubs in Serie A and Serie B of the Brazilian Championship to take a deeper look at the management model of North America’s football league, Major League Soccer.

The Corinthians chairman is the only member of the club’s current board attending the initiative promoted by the CBF. The event will last until next Sunday (14). The information was first published by the Alambrado Alvinegro outlet and confirmed by Central do Timão. The Brazilian Football Confederation sees the American management model as a “global benchmark in the organization of sporting events and the development of business strategies for sports.”

The immersive activities will begin this Friday (12) and, as mentioned, will focus on two aspects of MLS: the arrival of major international football stars such as Luis Suárez and Lionel Messi to American soccer, and former players who now serve as investors, such as David Beckham at Inter Miami, the team for which the Uruguayan and the Argentine play.

The following day, the agenda will be the analysis of leagues in other sports that are considered success stories in the country. Finally, the executives will attend Brazil’s debut at the 2026 World Cup against Morocco, which will take place at MetLife Stadium next Saturday (13), in New Jersey, as the national team pursues its sixth world title.

Meanwhile, Corinthians still has important pending issues to resolve. This Friday (12), the deadline imposed by Argentina’s Talleres expires for the payment of a seven-million-dollar debt (around R$35 million) owed by the Black and White club to the Argentines for the signing of midfielder Rodrigo Garro in January 2024. If the debt is not paid, Timão could face a new FIFA transfer ban, in addition to the one already in effect related to a debt from the purchase of José Martínez from the Philadelphia Union of the United States.
