Voz Corinthiana group announces pause in activities, find out why | OneFootball

On Tuesday night (7), the Coletivo Voz Corinthiana, which has been active in fighting Corinthians’ institutional problems over the past few months, announced that its activities will be suspended. In the text, the group’s members cite the attacks suffered in the online environment as one of the reasons for interrupting their work.

“The environment for institutional debate on the internet has progressively become unhealthy, marked by personal attacks, threats, polarization, and narratives that consume time and energy disproportionately,” says part of the statement. In addition, they also claim there has been an attempt to associate the collective as an ally of the ‘status quo’ currently running the club, even though only three members hold membership status with the Alvinegro.

In the statement, Coletivo Voz Corinthiana listed four actions taken during the period that helped guide internal processes. They are: complaints against Andrés Sanchez and Duílio Monteiro Alves, former Corinthians presidents. The former ended up being expelled from the membership ranks and the latter, in turn, gave up his membership title; the judicialization of the General Assembly for the vote on the statutory reform with the aim of ensuring members’ voting rights; a request to the Public Prosecutor’s Office (MP-SP) for court intervention in the club, as well as a TAC (Conduct Adjustment Agreement) to guarantee the statute reform; in addition to disagreements with the ideas of slate 82 (Movimento Corinthians Grande) in court and on the Deliberative Council – “they defended archaic premises, contrary to professionalization and democratization, contradicting what they said in public hearings.”

Shortly before, the group had also published on its communication channels a technical-legal scrutiny, that is, an analysis, of SAFIEL’s new proposal, which seeks to turn Corinthians into a Football Corporation (SAF), separating football from the social club and promoting greater fan participation in the club’s management through the purchase of shares. In the material released, the Collective cites warnings about the “risks, gaps, legal inconsistencies, and conceptual distortions” related to the project.

Coletivo Voz Corinthiana, together with members and other collectives, was active in the club’s statutory reform proposal, which, between December 2025 and February 2026, included ten public hearings to debate each topic of the draft text proposing changes to Corinthians’ internal system.

We announce a pause in the regular activities of Coletivo Voz Corinthiana

The environment for institutional debate on the internet has progressively become unhealthy, marked by personal attacks, threats, polarization, and narratives that consume time and energy disproportionately.

Only three members of our Collective are club members, but even so some narratives portray us as allies of the status quo. The facts show otherwise:

1️⃣ We filed complaints against Andrés Sanchez and Duílio Monteiro Alves (resulting in the expulsion of the former and the resignation of the latter); 2️⃣ We took the General Assembly on the statutory reform to court to guarantee the members’ right to decide sovereignly on the draft text, which is not ideal, but limits the power of the aristocrats; 3️⃣ We asked the MPSP for court intervention in all branches of the Club’s governance, in addition to a TAC solely to implement the statutory reform (a fact distorted by influencers who did not read the petition that the Club-member signatories submitted directly to Prosecutor Dr. Luiz Ambra); 4️⃣ We exposed the false technicality of slate 82 in the courts and on the Council, when they defended archaic premises, contrary to professionalization and democratization, contradicting what they said in public hearings.

We still believe that the strongest path to transforming Corinthians is democratization and professionalization. This requires qualified occupation of the internal spaces of power by the fanbase itself, with technical capacity and organization, which requires participation, support, and coordination that, at this moment, do not exist.

We studied the statutes of other clubs, challenged the lifetime powers, and pointed to a path compatible with democracy and professionalism, but the status quo has prevented the continuation of a reform that could already have had an impact this year.

That same status quo operates far beyond the Club, with influence in other spheres, capable of harming or suspending the statutory reform, any court intervention, and a possible improvised deliberation on SAFiel.

Given the current environment on social media, today’s pause is not giving up. It is care and protection, including of physical integrity.

For Corinthians, always!
