Neo Química Arena hosted the first 2026 edition of the Sangue Corinthiano campaign last Friday and Saturday. The initiative brought together fans and volunteers in a solidarity effort that resulted in the collection of 971 blood bags over the two days.
The figure represents a significant impact, since each donation can benefit up to four people. As a result, the initiative has the potential to help as many as 3,884 lives, reinforcing the importance of collective participation.

Most of the donations were recorded on Saturday, when 668 blood bags were collected. On Friday, the first day of the campaign, 303 donations were counted. The event also featured the presence of Basílio, a Corinthians idol, who attended the opening and interacted with the fans present.
Created in 2008, the campaign has already had dozens of editions and has established itself as one of the main social initiatives linked to the club. Throughout its history, the project has amassed impressive numbers, with hundreds of thousands of lives impacted through the donations made.
In addition to blood collection, the initiative also included other public health actions. During the event, there was encouragement for bone marrow donor registration and flu vaccinations were administered in partnership with the Municipal Health Department.
The campaign is not limited to Neo Química Arena. Throughout the year, the project also promotes actions in other cities, expanding the reach of the initiative and encouraging donation in different regions.
