In an official statement, the president of Corinthians, Osmar Stabile, thanked the highest entity of Brazilian football, the president of the CBF, Samir Xaud, and also Santos and the club's president, Marcelo Teixeira, for the handling of the discussions that led to the change.

“The CBF's right decision was the result of much dialogue. Common sense prevailed so that both Supercup finalists could play the first round of the Brazilian Championship on the same date without causing technical disadvantages to either side,” said the president of Corinthians, Osmar Stabile.

The change in the calendar aims to balance the preparation of the teams involved in the Supercup of Brazil, avoiding sporting disadvantages right at the start of the Brazilian Championship.
