Corinthians seek partner to fund youth academy training ground revamp | OneFootball

The board of Corinthians is negotiating a partnership to make possible the renovation of the youth academy training center (CT). The club aims to strengthen the structure offered to young athletes with the construction of a dormitory, a promise made by the Augusto Melo administration that was not fulfilled.

According to information gathered by Gazeta Esportiva, the project to build a hotel for the youth teams had already been under discussion by Osmar Stabile’s board for several months.

The deal is not yet closed, but the expectation is that it will be finalized soon. According to information obtained by the report, negotiations are underway with a company that would cover the renovation costs, acting as a sort of sponsor. The club, in turn, would offer compensation, such as brand exposure on the shirt or on an advertising board.

The name of this company, however, is being kept confidential. The possibility of the renovation was first published by Identidade Corinthiana.

The construction of a new space to accommodate the boys at the training center is seen as an essential step for the development of Corinthians’ players. Other topics, such as modernization and further improvements, have been discussed within the club between Stabile and the youth academy board, headed by Carlos Roberto Auricchio, known as ‘Nenê do Posto’.

Augusto’s Promise

The construction of a hotel at the youth academy training center was a promise made by Augusto Melo when he was still a candidate for the presidency of Corinthians. However, he left office after being impeached without completing the project.

Osmar Stabile, in fact, treated the youth academy as one of the priorities at the start of his administration. The board was concerned about the high number of players signed for the under-20 category during Augusto Melo’s term.

Under new leadership, the responsible departments reviewed all contracts signed in the previous administration and carried out several dismissals.

New Director

Recently, the Corinthians youth football department gained another member. In addition to director Nenê do Posto and executive Alex Brasil, Fabrício José Parras Vicentim was appointed deputy director of the category.

President Osmar Stabile also appointed three other new directors to the club: Rafael Castilho (Cultural Department), Fábio Francisco de Albuquerque Carrenho (Social Department), and Herói Vicente (Expansion, Innovation, and Business Department).
