Gaviões da Fiel Takes Major Step Towards Paying Off Neo Química Arena Debt
The Gaviões da Fiel, Corinthians' passionate supporters' group, has made another stride forward in its campaign to raise funds for the Neo Química Arena. On February 17, 2025, the group reported having made the 51st payment of R$ 107,050.63 to the Caixa Econômica Federal, bringing hope and support to the ambitious goal of eliminating the arena's total debt.
“With great pride, we inform you of the payment of the 51st boleto for the amortization of Neo Química Arena’s debt with Caixa! The amount of R$ 107,050.63 was transferred from the donation account last Monday to assist with the financing balance,” stated Gaviões da Fiel on their social media.
This recent payment is the 33rd disbursement made for the year 2025 as part of the overarching fundraising initiative launched by the supporters on November 27, 2024. The Gaviões da Fiel clarified, though, this number isn’t fixed, as it is determined by daily amortization based on the amount raised from donor contributions.
The fundraising endeavor has yielded impressive results, accumulating over R$ 38 million since its inception. The aspiration is to gather R$ 700 million—the total debt owed by the club to Caixa—by the end of May this year. Amid various donations from fans, celebrities, and even players, the campaign received a substantial boost from the club's main sponsor, Esportes da Sorte, who contributed R$ 1 million, marking them as the largest donor of the initiative.
Fans interested in contributing can do so through the website www.doearenacorinthians.com.br, ensuring the process is safe and avoiding potential scams. To donate, supporters merely need to access the platform, select their preferred donation amount, and complete a brief registration. After this, a Pix key will be generated to facilitate payment directly from their chosen bank.
To keep supporters informed, the official campaign website maintains an updated counter displaying the total amount raised, typically refreshing every hour. Recognizing the need for timely information, Meu Timão created a dedicated page for the Pix donations, featuring automated updates as the campaign’s total progresses.
With several payments made since the campaign's launch, the Gaviões da Fiel shared details of past contributions:
- 45th payment - R$ 30,885.51
- 46th payment - R$ 100,865.94

This collaborative effort reflects the deep ties between the Corinthians and their dedicated fanbase, showcasing the relentless spirit of the Gaviões da Fiel. The financial maneuver aims not just to clear debts but also to reinforce communal ties and maintain the pride of having their beloved arena fully funded.
