About 32 people took part in the meeting, including representatives from Corinthians and the stadium’s management. Among them was the club’s Director of Institutional Relations, Antonio Goulart, as well as members of the São Paulo City Hall and the state and federal governments.

Neo Química Arena will host matches of the Women’s World Cup, which will take place between June and July 2027. The expectation is that the stadium will offer a complete structure both for staging the matches and for ensuring comfort and safety for the public.

Since its inauguration in May 2014, the stadium has already hosted major international competitions. This will be the fifth time the arena hosts a FIFA-organized tournament. Previous events include the 2014 World Cup and World Cup Qualifiers for the 2018, 2022, and 2026 tournaments. The venue was also used for the 2016 Olympic Games and the 2019 Copa América.
