Corinthians fans split over plans for statute reform | OneFootball

The president of the Deliberative Council of Corinthians, Romeu Tuma Júnior, presented this week, at Parque São Jorge, the draft project for the club's statute reform.

In a survey conducted by Gazeta Esportiva, fans were divided on the proposals in general. The report asked Corinthians fans how they viewed the project: excellent, good, average, bad, and terrible. The most voted option was "terrible," with 22.6%.

Just below, "good" received 21.3% of the votes, while "excellent" had 20%. The options "bad" (18.6%) and "average" (17.3%) were the least chosen.

The document, released by Corinthians, provides for the right to vote for the Fiel Torcedor and the possibility of transforming the club into a SAF.

Additionally, the text includes other important topics, such as: extension of mandates; remuneration for directors; hiring a CEO; 'Mayor' of Parque São Jorge; stricter financial regulations: rules for the use of corporate cards; transfers to the Council; changes in the Ethics Committee.

Next Steps

The draft project, it is worth remembering, still needs to go through two votes before coming into effect. First, the document will be reviewed by the Corinthians Deliberative Council, in a vote scheduled for November. Then, in December, it will be up to the members to ratify or not the DC's decision in a General Assembly. Some articles will be voted on in blocks, while others will have individual voting.

If approved, the new statute will take effect immediately. However, the possibility of voting for the Fiel Torcedor is expected to be valid starting from the 2030 elections. The 2026 election is still expected to remain under the current model, considering a transition rule.

The Statute Reform Commission has been working on the text since last year. The draft project was developed based on internal debates and suggestions from organized external movements, such as Gaviões da Fiel itself, which advocated for the right to vote for the Fiel Torcedor. According to Romeu Tuma Júnior, more than 30 proposals were submitted to the Secretariat and forwarded to the Commission.

The final report was delivered to Romeu on the last October 10. The expectation of the Council president is that the new Corinthians statute will be approved by the end of this year and come into effect at the beginning of 2026.
