The closing celebration will take place at Neo Química Arena starting at 6 p.m. (Brasília time) this Saturday. The event will feature musical performances by artists such as Sorriso Maroto, Belo, MC Hariel, and MC Don Juan. According to Meu Timão, the supporters’ group invested around R$200,000 in renting the stadium for the party.

Corinthians also paid tribute to the supporters’ group on social media. In an official post, the club congratulated Gaviões da Fiel on its 57 years of history.

“Corinthians congratulates Gaviões da Fiel on its 57 years of history, passion, and unconditional support for Timão!”

Founded on July 1, 1969, Gaviões da Fiel emerged during a period of strong dissatisfaction with Corinthians’ management. Its initial purpose was to support the club from the stands while also monitoring the actions of its directors. Since then, the group has played a prominent role in Corinthians’ political and sporting history.

In addition to its constant presence in stadiums, Gaviões has also established a strong legacy in the São Paulo Carnival. The supporters’ samba school has won four Special Group titles, in 1995, 1999, 2002, and 2003. In 2026, it finished as runner-up with the theme “Ancestral Voices for a New Tomorrow.”

Currently, the group has more than 150,000 members. Those who wish to become part of Gaviões da Fiel can sign up in person at the Bom Retiro headquarters. A four-month plan is available for R$50, and an annual plan for R$110.

According to the group itself, interested people must go to the location with the required documents. For residents of other cities and states, assistance can be provided through the WhatsApp of the Membership Fees Department, available on the organization’s official channels.
