Corinthians regret fans' treatment at Ilha do Retiro in Brasileirão | OneFootball

On the afternoon of last Sunday, September 21, Corinthians visited Sport at Ilha do Retiro, in a match valid for the 24th round of the Brazilian Championship, and was defeated by a score of 1-0. The result left the Alvinegro in tenth place with 29 points and further from the top positions.

A little over a day after the match, Corinthians published an official note on their website condemning the treatment suffered by the Corinthians fans at the Sport stadium. Yesterday, the Gaviões da Fiel lamented the high ticket prices for the match – R$ 200.00 (full) and R$ 100.00 (half), in addition to the overcrowding in the visitor section, which caused disruptions, making some people feel unwell.

The lack of support for people with disabilities, depicted in a video released with a fan in a wheelchair unable to access the stands at Ilha do Retiro, alongside the Gaviões board, generated significant repercussions. At the beginning of the second half, another section, next to the visitors, was opened to relocate some Corinthians fans – preferably women and children according to TV Globo during the broadcast.

In the statement released, Corinthians stated that they have already contacted the competent authorities and condemned the events that occurred throughout the 90 minutes of the match against Sport. The Alvinegro also demands measures to be taken and that episodes like this do not happen again.
