Tuma unveils new timetable for Corinthians statute reform, hails 'progress' | OneFootball

The president of the Deliberative Council of Corinthians, Romeu Tuma Júnior, presented the new schedule for the club's statute reform. The draft project was to be voted on Monday night at Parque São Jorge, but the meeting was suspended.

The request from council members to broaden the discussion was granted. There will be ten public hearings starting on December 1st to debate some of the main terms of the new statute. The meetings have been scheduled for the following dates:

The sessions will not require the attendance of the entire CD board. The proposals will be debated in pre-determined blocks of thematic agendas. Specialists and external guests may participate in the meetings to enrich the debate. The registration method and specific topics for the mentioned dates will be made available on the official Corinthians website later this week.

Tuma sees “progress”

Despite the suspension of the vote, Romeu Tuma sees “progress” in the process. He believes, for example, that the proposal for voting rights for Fiel Torcedor will pass through the Council.

“I'm not frustrated, I think we've made progress. There was a unanimous decision, committed to the dates of the agendas. It's already progress. There was a sign of progress that the vote of the Fiel Torcedor will be approved. We cannot be stuck with three thousand people deciding the future of Corinthians. We have lost the ability to make important decisions for the club, it's too much politicking. Everyone is worried about personal interests. We have to cut to the bone. If Corinthians goes bankrupt in our hands, we will pay together. We need to share, the fans need to vote and that's it. The time has come,” said the president of the Corinthians CD.

Next steps

After all the public hearings are held, the vote on the statutory reform in the Corinthians Deliberative Council is expected to take place in February 2026. If approved, the project will then be reviewed by the members of Parque São Jorge. The General Assembly, initially scheduled for December 20 of this year, has been rescheduled for March of next year.

However, it was agreed among the alvinegro council members that the new statute will already be valid for the next elections at the end of next year. The voting right for Fiel Torcedor would come into effect by the 2030 election at the latest.

Main topics

The main topics of the Corinthians statutory reform include:

The Statute Reform Committee has been working on the text since last year. The draft project was developed from internal debates and suggestions from organized external movements, such as the Gaviões da Fiel itself, which supported the voting rights for Fiel Torcedor.
