Palmeiras fans graffiti club HQ again in under a year, recall last time | OneFootball

After the heavy defeat suffered by Palmeiras by 4-0 against Novorizontino, the walls of the Allianz Parque social headquarters were spray-painted. This was the first protest of this kind since March 2025, when Palmeiras fans demanded more from the squad after a home loss to rivals Corinthians, in the first leg of the Paulista Championship final.

On that occasion, phrases encouraging hatred against Corinthians were painted. The fans spray-painted the phrase “You have to hate this f*****g Corinthians”, said by Felipão in 2000. In addition, there were demands made to the squad, with phrases like “It’s war” and “More hate, less showboating”.

However, the protest had little effect. After losing 1-0 at Allianz Parque, Palmeiras drew 0-0 at Neo Química Arena and ended up breaking their rival’s six-year title drought.

2026 Protest

Now, after the rout by Novorizontino, Palmeiras fans did not just target the squad. The ticket offices at Allianz Parque were spray-painted with criticisms of the board, coach Abel Ferreira, and the team’s planning.

It’s worth noting that this was not only the biggest defeat of the Abel era, but also Palmeiras’ worst loss in the last ten years. Verdão hadn’t lost by a four-goal margin since 2015, when the team led by Marcelo Oliveira was thrashed 5-1 by Chapecoense at Arena Condá on October 4.

After the rout, Palmeiras has already begun preparations for a tough run at the end of January. Abel Ferreira’s team hosts São Paulo this Saturday, for the fifth round of the Paulistão, and then visits Atlético-MG next Wednesday, for the first round of the Brazilian Championship.
