The program will conclude with the unveiling of a Saint George statue installed at the entrance to the Arena. The work, titled “Faithful Knight,” was created by artist Gilmar Pinna and will be placed near the Arthur Alvim staircase.

To take part in the activities held at Neo Química Arena, it will be necessary to reserve tickets in advance through the Fiel Torcedor platform. Access to the stadium will be through Gate A for pedestrians, while parking will be available through Gate E5, subject to space availability.

The celebration is part of the commemorative actions for the 100th anniversary of Parque São Jorge, inaugurated in the late 1920s and named after the Warrior Saint, a figure historically linked to the club’s identity.

April 23 is traditionally dedicated to Saint George, recognized as Corinthians’ patron saint and one of the most symbolic figures in the club’s history.
