São Paulo fined for homophobic chants in derby against Corinthians | OneFootball

Reported for homophobic chants to the Superior Court of Sports Justice (STJD), São Paulo made an agreement with the body and paid R$ 100,000 for the conduct. The act occurred in a match against Corinthians, in the first round of the Brasileirão, on July 19 of this year.

The match report did not mention the chants sung in the stands, but Corinthians filed a Notice of Infraction, denouncing “homophobic manifestations from the home crowd.” This was the argument used by the STJD on the entity's official website, framing the club under articles 243-G of the CBJD (Brazilian Code of Sports Justice) and 135 of the RGC (General Competition Regulations).

The CBJD article discusses “practicing a discriminatory, disdainful, or outrageous act, related to prejudice due to ethnic origin, race, sex, color, age, condition of being elderly or disabled”, with a penalty of “suspension for a period of one hundred and twenty to three hundred and sixty days, if practiced by any other natural person subject to this Code, in addition to a fine, from R$ 100 to R$ 100,000”, also providing for a two-year suspension of identified fans.

The RGC's perspective, made by the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF), applies a fine between R$ 100 and R$ 100,000. “a discriminatory offense committed by managers, representatives, and club professionals, athletes, coaches, members of the Technical Committee, fans, and refereeing teams in competitions organized and coordinated by the CBF is considered extremely serious, especially insulting someone, offending their dignity or decorum, due to race, color, ethnicity, national or social origin, sex, gender, disability, sexual orientation, language, religion, political opinion, wealth, birth, or any other form of discrimination that affronts human dignity.”, says the article.

It is worth remembering that, in 2023, Corinthians was punished with a game behind closed doors for homophobic chants sung by the fans precisely in a match against São Paulo, in the Brasileirão. So far, it was the only time this type of punishment occurred, as it is mostly applied only as a fine.
