During halftime of the match between Corinthians and Coritiba, held at the Neo Química Arena on the evening of last Wednesday (11), the club officially presented attacking midfielder Jesse Lingard to the fans present at the stadium. The presentation took place while the match, valid for the Brazilian Championship, was underway.

During the presentation, the East Sector also participated in the tribute by displaying a large banner. At the same time, the stadium’s big screen highlighted the slogan “From the Kingdom to the Favela,” referencing the English player’s arrival at the club.

On social media, Corinthians published the continuation of the video used to announce the player. The footage shows Lingard in a community, interacting with elements of Brazilian daily life and with some humorous references to the country.

Even before stepping onto the field to greet the fans, the attacking midfielder had already been officially presented to the press. The event took place in the press conference room at Neo Química Arena, where Lingard posed with the Corinthians shirt and later watched the match against Coritiba from a stadium box.

Despite the warm reception from the fans, the player is not yet eligible to play. The club is awaiting the arrival of the necessary documentation to register the athlete in the Daily Information Bulletin (BID) of the Brazilian Football Confederation.

While the registration process is not yet complete, Lingard continues to wait for the chance to wear the Timão shirt on the field for the first time. Corinthians hopes that the Englishman’s work visa will be granted in time for him to make his debut in the team’s next match, scheduled for Sunday (15), at 4 p.m., against Santos at Vila Belmiro.
