The meeting provided attendees with opportunities to exchange experiences and integrate with project partners such as Revedor, Sogni, Vortex, Profix, and Chance Sports. The event also featured the participation of Vander Iacovino (Corinthians Futsal Manager), who shared with the audience his career in sports and offered critical and reflective thoughts regarding the development of grassroots sports.

Wilson Pignata Junior, coordinator of the Corinthians Futsal U-20 team, was also alongside Iacovino. In addition, the Corinthians U-13 Girls’ team had a hands-on experience on the Neo Química Arena pitch. They were accompanied by their coach, Bianca Chamelete, and her entire youth coaching staff.

The forum also featured a Business and Solutions Panel, where a preview of news about the partners was presented, along with the unveiling of the new Chute Inicial Network uniform for 2026. After lunch at Fielzone, the Chute Inicial team highlighted events and actions promoted with the network’s schools. Later, in the professional players’ warm-up room at the Arena, there was a roundtable discussion on the management and operation of their units.

Finally, towards the end of the meeting, the main achievements of 2025 and the planning for 2026 were presented, emphasizing Chute Inicial’s commitment to excellence and innovation. To showcase the social aspect, athletes with Down Syndrome who represented Corinthians at the Genuine Cup were present.
