Homophobic chants: São Paulo face hearing over Corinthians match | OneFootball

The Second Disciplinary Commission of the Superior Court of Sports Justice (STJD) will try, on the afternoon of next Friday, October 17, at 3:30 p.m. (Brasília time), São Paulo for homophobic chants by its fans in the derby against Corinthians, in July, at Morumbis Stadium, in the Majestoso for the 15th round of the Brazilian Championship.

The information was released by Meu Timão. It is worth noting that, even with the circulation of several videos of São Paulo fans engaging in discriminatory acts against Corinthians, referee Anderson Daronco did not record any complaint in the match report. At the time, the Alvinegro, through its legal department, reported São Paulo to the STJD.

Subsequently, São Paulo was charged by the Prosecutor’s Office, as it violated Article 243-G of the CBJD by committing a discriminatory act. The Prosecutor’s Office also stated that, in the Competition Regulations, attitudes like those of São Paulo’s fans are classified as “of maximum seriousness,” according to the first paragraph of Article 135.

The cited article of the CBJD—related to acts of prejudice tied to race, color, ethnicity, age, disability, and sex—can punish players and members of the coaching staff with five to ten matches. Other individuals may be penalized with a suspension of 120 to 360 days, plus a fine ranging from R$100 to R$100,000. If fans responsible for these attacks are identified, they can be punished for at least 720 days.

Recently, Palmeiras was only fined by the STJD after its fans committed discriminatory acts directed at Corinthians forward Ángel Romero, in a Derby held in April this year, for the fourth round of the Brasileirão, in Barueri. It is worth noting that Corinthians remains the only club in Brazil to play behind closed doors due to homophobic chants after a Majestoso against São Paulo, in Itaquera, in May 2023, also for the Brasileirão.

On that occasion, referee Bruno Arleu de Araújo, when the match was tied 1–1, around the 20th minute of the second half, halted the game. The big screens at Neo Química Arena displayed awareness messages about the consequences of such acts. A month later, the Alvinegro was punished and played a match against Vasco, for the Brasileirão, without fans. The Parque São Jorge club was also fined R$100,000—also missing out on revenue of just over R$2 million;
