Understand the case

The Paulista Football Federation (FPF) had prohibited the main organized supporters group of Corinthians from attending sports venues with banners, flags, musical instruments, and other accessories until the end of 2026. The punishment was applied after a fight between uniformed supporters of Corinthians and São Paulo, which occurred in the Bixiga neighborhood at the end of November.

Check out the full official statement from Gaviões da Fiel:

“Gaviões da Fiel announces that the recommendation from the Public Prosecutor's Office, which restricted our supporters' presence at this Sunday's game, has been suspended.

Thus, in the Copa do Brasil semifinal decision against Cruzeiro, the Fiel will be in the stands, cheering Corinthians from the first to the last minute.

With our banners, instruments, and attire, we will turn the stadium into a real cauldron, as only the Corinthians supporters know how to do.

This achievement did not happen by chance. It was the result of much work, dialogue, and responsibility.

There was tireless effort from Gaviões da Fiel, our legal department, through Dr. Edson Roberto Baptista de Oliveira, and also from the Public Prosecutor's Office, represented by Justice promoters Roberto Bacal and Daniela Hashimoto, who acted to ensure this temporary outcome.

We also thank the 2nd Battalion of the Military Police, represented by Majors Arcanjo and Zaccaro; the Civil Police, represented by Dr. Cesar Saad (DRADE); Corinthians; the Paulista Football Federation; and all the authorities who contributed to this decision.

Gaviões da Fiel reaffirms its commitment to the discussions related to the TAC and will remain available to the competent bodies for this punishment to be definitively revoked.

Now it's up to you, Fiel!

This Sunday, let's show once again why we are the largest organized supporters group in Brazil. Together, we will throw the party that only the Fiel knows how to provide.”
