Corinthians unveil line-up with player names in Libras signs | OneFootball

This Sunday, the 27th, during the announcement of Corinthians’ lineup for the match against Flamengo, in the 26th round of the Brazilian Championship at Neo Química Arena, the club carried out a pioneering initiative by presenting the athletes’ names accompanied by their official signs in Brazilian Sign Language (Libras). This initiative marked Timão as the first football team to officially give its players names in Libras.

The naming ceremony, previously held at CT Joaquim Grava, was conducted in partnership with Helpvox (a company specialized in communication accessibility) – and with the support of the Sports Federation of the Deaf of the State of SP (FDSESP). Two deaf Corinthians fans, provided by the federation, were responsible for creating the signs that identify each athlete, respecting individual characteristics and strengthening the connection between the team and the deaf community.

The initiative also had the support of Hubfel, the club’s entrepreneurship, innovation, and sustainability ecosystem. Next steps include training the club’s and Neo Química Arena’s service teams, as well as installing kiosks for remote service in Libras.

Cleber Santos, CEO of Helpvox, highlighted the significance of the gesture: “This naming is much more than symbolic. It is a gesture of belonging, showing that the deaf community is part of Corinthians’ history and that the club recognizes the importance of communicating in an accessible way.”
