The presidential race at Corinthians officially began this Saturday (11), with the launch of the candidacy of Augusto Melo, from the opposition. He had the support of the Corinthian idol Wladimir, the player who played the most for the club.

If elected in November, Augusto plans to revitalize Fiel Torcedor, the club’s supporter partner programme, including plans for supporters outside Brazil. The candidate wants to build a themed hotel dedicated to Timão.

– We have a big project for Fiel Torcedor. Benefits they need. There are many people from all over the world, so we want a themed hotel within our club. We are in the middle of two major airports, next to the largest convention center in Latin America. We want to receive loyal supporters from all over the world under better conditions. In June we will launch a project, the restructuring, it is something complex. Something has to be done for the benefit not only of the club, but for the fans to stay loyal and provide us with an income – Augusto told the THROW AWAY!



As well as Duílio Monteiro Alves, current president, Augusto believes that the expansion of the Neo Química Arena is a necessary project for Corinthians’ revenue growth. He has promised to increase the stadium’s capacity to 67,000 people. Currently, the Corinthian house is home to approximately 49,000 people.

– We have the largest crowd in the world, the most consumerist crowd in the world, and we have to bet on it. That’s why I want to bring the Arena to the people. Eighty percent of the Arena will be for the fans, 20% for that person who has an excellent economic condition, paid to have their comfort, despite all the other sectors have the comfort. We want to raise the Arena to 67 thousand seats, there are five thousand on each side, North and South – he began -.

– Remove the seats from the South, same visibility as the North, with the same price, rearrange the seats, which increases another five, six thousand seats, but two thousand seats from the South, so I can have a cheaper ticket, I can have a higher value on the our shirt, because we have reduced the sale value of our shirt. Any company wants to invest in Corinthians. When you have more serious management, management that brings benefits, any company will want to invest, because the return is very high. – concluded Augusto Melo.

Augusto Melo, second in the last elections of Corinthians, has shown confidence that a third way does not present itself to deprive the votes of the opposition, which is trying to end the 16-year administration of the group “Renewal and Transparency, commanded by the former president Andrés Sanchez, in power since 2007.

The November election will define the president for the three-year period 2024/25/26 in Timão.
