The Gaviões da Fiel board, the main organized fan group of Corinthians, had their first meeting with executives from Caixa Econômica Federal on Friday (14). The purpose of the meeting was to start negotiations to settle the debt of Neo Química Arena through the fans, a project initiated by the Gaviões.
According to the fan group, “the meeting marked the beginning of discussions on the initial terms necessary to assess the feasibility of the proposed structure.”
As part of the Gaviões’ project, the idea is to raise the updated value of the debt with proof from Caixa and collect directly into a bank account, without any management of the amount collected by the club’s directors. The fan group also wants to provide a real-time fundraising panel.
The initiative aims to involve the fans in resolving the debt issue and ensure transparency in the process. By directly collecting funds from supporters and showcasing the progress in real-time, the Gaviões hope to demonstrate their commitment to the club and its financial obligations.
The meeting with Caixa represents a significant step towards finding a solution to the arena debt, which has been a pressing issue for Corinthians. With the support and involvement of the organized fan group, the club can work towards settling the debt and securing the future financial stability of Neo Química Arena.
This collaborative approach between the Gaviões da Fiel and Caixa highlights the importance of fan engagement and community support in addressing financial challenges faced by football clubs. By coming together and pooling resources, fans can play a crucial role in helping their beloved team overcome obstacles and thrive in the long run.
Moving forward, the Gaviões and Caixa will continue their discussions and negotiations to finalize the terms of the debt settlement plan. With a shared goal of resolving the arena debt and ensuring the sustainable operation of Neo Química Arena, both parties are committed to finding a mutually beneficial solution that benefits the club and its supporters alike.
The proactive stance taken by the Gaviões da Fiel in tackling the arena debt issue showcases the dedication and passion of Corinthians’ fan base. Through their collective efforts and collaboration with financial institutions like Caixa, the fans are actively contributing to the club’s financial health and future success.
