Message from the Chairman
our
home
After a complicated year, as usual, we look forward to a more glorious future
Unfortunately 2013 did not end the way we hoped it would. After a promising start
in which we won two more titles, we were unable to deliver what we had
expected and planned for the Brazilian Championship. We had plenty of victories,
from the unprecedented win in the Libertadores Cup, through the 27th São Paulo
Championship to the Recopa in July. But our performance was far below
expectations in the last months of the year.

sport club
corinthians paulista
Elsewhere in Corinthians,
2013 saw great results. We won
the Vertical Skateboarding world
title and the Brazil Cup with Rony
Gomes; the historical Rip Curl
Pro in Bells Beach, Australia with
Adriano de Souza (“Mineirinho”);
the Beach Soccer World Cup; the
São Paulo Futsal League; the state
and metropolitan championships
and the Brasil Correios Cup
with the Under-20 Futsal team;
three titles in the São Paulo
Youth Championships (Under-13,
Under-15 and Under-17); the BH
Cup (Under-15); the third American
Football state championship; the
Canon Lyon City Cup (Under-15);
and for the first time ever, we
were the leaders in the national
swimming ranking.
In areas other than sport, the
club also showed impressive
growth. In the clubhouse
members benefited from
improvements in diverse areas,
such as canindé, tamburello,
tennis, the great hall, the
children’s playground and
in bocce. We also held the
internal championship with the
participation of more than 500
children in five categories.
We reformulated our
ombudsman service to be able
to better listen to and serve
supporters and members.
In Parque São Jorge we also
organized major events, such
as the José Finkel Trophy, the
Corinthians Poker Circuit, the
Corinthians Canto Por Ti (I sing
for you) Festival and a circus.
We featured in an article about
the organization of the World
Cup in Brazil published by the
prestigious North American
magazine The New Yorker, in
January 2014. The article was
on the World Cup in Brazil, but
dedicated 14 pages to Corinthians,
covering a number of subjects
such as the construction of
the stadium which hosted the
opening of the Cup, the numerous
titles the club has won in recent
years, its marketing activities,
Ronaldo the Phenomenon’s
time with the club and the fact
that more than 30 thousand
passionate fans invaded Japan to
see Timão win its second world
club championship.
Two events greatly saddened
us in 2013. One of these was the
death of the young Bolivian
Kevin Douglas Beltrán Espada
in February, after being hit by a
signal flare fired from the stands
where there were a number of
Corinthian supporters, 12 of whom
were arrested. In conjunction
with the Ministry of Justice and
Foreign Relations, we provided
accompaniment for the arrested
supporters until their release and
donated US$ 50,000 to Kevin
Espada’s family. We were also
shocked by the accident at the
Arena Corinthians in which two
workers – Fábio Luiz Pereira,
a crane operator for BHM, and
Ronaldo Oliveira dos Santos, an
assembly worker for Conecta
– were killed. We immediately
initiated an investigation into
the causes of the accident and
provided the victims’ families
with full support. A tribute was
paid to these workers, both
Corinthians, during the 37th round
of the Brasileirão at Pacaembu.
It was a difficult year, which
was reflected in our economicfinancial performance. Although
results were positive in 2013, they
were down on previous years.
Our revenues decreased by 12%
in 2013, but the accumulated
increase over the last six years
was 135%, reaching R$ 316
million. Disciplined, responsible
management enabled the club
to post a surplus of R$ 1 million
in 2013, with an accumulated
surplus of R$ 34.2 million since
2007. This situation was the
result of a home stadium ban for
various Brazilian Championship
games, closed gates in a
Libertadores Cup game and a
general decrease in investment
in the Brazilian football market.
Additionally, the team’s early exit
from the Libertadores in 2013,
and its non-classification for
the 2014 competition prevented
the generation of new revenues.
We have everything we need
to turn this situation around,
starting with the inauguration
of our stadium, which will
host Corinthians’ games and
entertainment events. We
may therefore look forward
to revenues from ticket sales,
merchandising, sponsorship, box
rental, sales of licensed products
and other sources of income,
such as the naming rights
for the stadium.
We have already begun a new
cycle for 2014. We will make
the dream of the more than 30
million Corinthians come true:
the inauguration of the Arena
Corinthians and hosting the FIFA
2014 World Cup in our new home.
We are confident it will be
a glorious year with many
accomplishments.
Onward Corinthians!

Winning the 2013 São

club’s 27th state title, further

was unprecedented, since it

Mascot
The Musketeer was chosen
as mascot for our club many
years ago. On June 2nd 1929, the
journalist Thomaz Mazzoni,
writing in the newspaper
A Gazeta Esportiva, celebrated
the “fibre of true musketeers”
shown by the team in the club’s
first ever international victory

Fazendinha:
85 years of history
Better known as Fazendinha,
Corinthians’ first home the Alfredo
Schürig stadium was inaugurated on
July 22nd 1928, with a match against
América-RJ. The 2-2 draw was
attended by 2 thousand supporters,
who had the privilege of seeing the
fastest ever goal in the stadium’s
history. The Corinthians left winger
De Maria scored 29 seconds into the
first half; this was also the first goal
ever at Fazendinha.
The nickname Fazendinha came
from the small farm on the grounds,
whose farmhouse was to become
a meeting place for members.
The stadium is named in honour
of Alfredo Schürig, Corinthians’
president from 1930 to 1933. He was
considered to be a guardian angel at
a time when the club was switching
to professional football. With support
from club members, he helped ensure
that Fazendinha was concluded and
also settled club debts over a period
of 12 years.
The setting for 484 Corinthians
games, with a highly positive
balance of 356 wins, 65 draws and 63
losses, Fazendinha saw its last game
on August 3rd, 2002, when Timão
beat Brasiliense by 1-0. The biggest
ever crowd was recorded in 1962, at
the classic Corinthians 1 x 2 Santos
match attended by 27,384 supporters.
In 2011, Fazendinha hosted the
final of the São Paulo American
Football Championship, when the
Corinthians Steamrollers defeated
the São Paulo Spartans.

The Brazilian title in 2011,

America Cup and the second FIFA
World Club Cup in 2012, as well

at consolidating infrastructure
in line with highest international
standards of excellence in sports,
one of Corinthians’ commitments
in its 10-year strategic planning.
In 2013, the club’s board
prioritized investment in
modernization and remodelling,
focused on making Timão the

A FAZENDINHA/
stadium
The Alfredo Schürig
Stadium opened on July
22nd, 1928, with a match
between Corinthians
and América – RJ. The
2-2 draw was attended
by 2,000 fans, who also
witnessed the fastest
ever goal to be scored in
the stadium’s history. 29
seconds into the first half,
Corinthians left-winger,
De Maria, scored the
first goal of the match
and the first goal ever at
Fazendinha.
During its 100-year
history, Timão played
484 matches at Parque
São Jorge, winning 356
times, drawing 65 times,
with only 63 losses. The
Corinthians team scored
1,345 goals and conceded
only 491.
The stadium’s capacity
is 16,000; however, the
record in attendance
was in a match
against Santos in 1962:
27,384 fans. One year
previously, on February
25th, 1961, Corinthians
beat Flamengo by
7-2, inaugurating the
Fazendinha lighting
system.

them as Corinthians fans.
An image of Saint George
has been installed beside
the fountain (read more

D CHAPEL
Inaugurated on November
26th, 1967 based on a
design dating back to the
1950s, the site has been
open daily for visits since
the end of 2007, when

to 6,834. The gym has
hosted official futsal, youth
basketball and volleyball
matches, as well as other
types of sports.

A study conducted by Pluri Consultoria is aimed at
portraying the level of transparency in club management
and encouraging clubs to disclose more information. The
second survey published in October 2013 was based on 30
criteria. The survey covered 34 clubs in 11 states. Corinthians
was the only club that achieved more than half of the
maximum score: 170 out of 293 (58%, resulting in a score of
5.8). The club came first in both editions of the survey.

Ombudsman
The Corinthians Ombudsman
service was reformulated in 2013
with a view to strengthening
club relations with members,
supporters and visitors, ensuring
the ongoing improvement of the
wide variety of services provided
for our extensive public.
After this restructuring, the
club received 1,802 contacts,
an average of 13 a day. As
is typical for football clubs,
particularly those having
millions of supporters, most
of these contacts are related
to football. They include
criticisms and suggestions for
the players, the coach and the
Board of Directors, was well as
questions and enquiries about
how to participate in selection
processes for our youth teams
etc. Many of the contacts are
from members, particularly
those who use the club facilities.
These include recommendations
and complaints about the social
facilities, which are extensive not
only in terms of area but also in
the number of activities available
for members.
All contacts are logged and
receive a reference number,
enabling the user to track
the response to their contact.
Contacts must be compliant
with the Supporter Statute (Law
10.671/2003). Once a response has
been given, it remains available
on the website for a year.
The Ombudsman acts as
an intermediary and has no
decision making power; neither
does it substitute the normal
relationship channels between
members and the club. The
service is available in person, by
telephone, email or mail.

Any member meeting all
the prerequisites specified
in the bylaws may run for
councillor or president. In
order to be elected councillor,
it is necessary to have been
a member for a minimum
of five years. In order to be
elected president or vicepresident, the candidate
must have been on the
council for at least two
management mandates and
have been a member of the
Club for at least 11 years.
Directors are appointed
by the president in the same
way that ministers are
appointed in a democratic
government; these
positions require functional
experience, alignment
with the new management
directives, as well as trust on
the part of the chairman.
When the rules are clear,
members are reassured
because they know they
can influence the future
of their club. In parallel,
Corinthians gains greater
external credibility. This
results in more advantageous
commercial agreements for
the club and enables it to set
an example of democracy to
society as a whole.

Economic performance

Corinthians
Over the last six years, the club has produced very significant results
The difficulties Corinthians faced
in 2013 did not jeopardise the club’s
financial health. Finances are in the
black, although the figures are down
compared with the previous year.
Revenues have grown 135% over
the last six years, reaching R$ 316
million, but were down 12% on 2012.
Lower revenues, together with higher
expenses, impacted cash generation,
which had grown and been positive
up to 2012. In 2013, investments
of more than R$ 60 million in
contracting players did not result
in better performance on field. The
main factors affecting performance
were: a home stadium ban on games
during the Brazilian championship,
gates closed during a Libertadores
Cup game and increased investment
in contracting renowned players for
professional football. The overall
conjuncture for Brazilian football
did not help either, particularly from
the second half of the year, with
lower investments and a lack of new
sponsorship contracts for the main
clubs in the country.
The strategy of maintaining the
club’s financial health remains in

Revenue sources
Player transfers accounted for a larger bigger share in club
revenues. In 2012 they represented 9%, increasing to 22% in 2013.
Revenues from players transfers totalled R$ 69.1 million in 2013,
compared with R$ 33.8 million in 2012. The main factors behind
this increase were the share of TV in revenues, with no entry
of goodwill payments as was the case in 2012, and increased
revenue from player transfers.

The results of responsible, efficient management are evident in
Corinthians’ level of indebtedness. In 2007, investment in players
and fixed assets was low, totalling R$ 101.6 million. Additionally,
revenues without player transfers were lower than the club’s
indebtedness (R$ 63.2 million). Over the last six years, this
situation has been turned around, ensuring adequate coverage
of debt. Between 2007 and 2013, revenues without players
transfers grew by almost 300%, while indebtedness increased by
91%, ending last year at R$ 193.7 million.
The higher investment in professional football, the non-receipt of
goodwill payments – the contracts with Nike and TV Globo were
renewed in 2012 – and the lack of new sponsorship contracts led
to a reduction in revenues and an increase in costs. Football costs
increased from R$ 233.3 million in 2012 to R$ 248.2 million in 2013.

Corinthians is going to be the central theme of a science fiction film
to be launched in 2015. The 90-minute feature film will be set in 2110.
In it, Corinthians will be the largest football club in the world, in a plot
that includes travelling back in time, nerve-racking adventures, not to
mention excerpts from Corinthians history.
The project is being produced by Lumix Art Films, belonging to Lion
Andreassa and Aleksander Lima, who developed the idea for the film.
Called the Nova Era: Corinthians (New Era: Corinthians), the producers
have already arranged partners for the project, which will be distributed
by Europa Filmes. Corinthians itself has licensed the film as an official
product, although the club is not participating directly in the production.
The script, written by Alexandre Novaski and Nanci Pittelkow, is
audacious. In it, Corinthians is a major force in a world of bounty. None of
the apocalypse to be found in Hollywood productions, here hunger has
been eradicated and there is no more war.
According to the script, the formation of the Corinthians dynasty is the
result of an intense internationalization process which takes place during
the 21st century. In this futuristic setting, Corinthians contracts a scientist,
George Stevens Lima, to recreate any period in history using what the
producers call a neural device.

free to club members.
In it, fans can find stories about the
major names associated with Corinthians,
curiosities about the club’s history and

1st Canto por ti
(I sing for you)
Festival
Inspired by the Brazilian popular music
festivals of the 1960s and 1980s, in 2013
Corinthians promoted “Canto por ti,
Corinthians” (I sing for you, Corinthians),
the first music festival ever in
Corinthians’ history. The contest was a
major success, attracting entries from
all over the country.
The idea behind the festival was to
consolidate and transmit the culture and
values of the Corinthian nation to different
generations by encouraging composers
and artists of different styles and types of
music. It also represented an opportunity
to revive values that are important for the
club and to provide a stage for Corinthian
composers. The objective is to encourage
the custom of paying tribute to our team
through diverse musical genres.
The contest lasted from August to
November 2013, mobilizing crowds of
people around this Corinthian passion.
At the end, there were 26 finalists, 12 of
whose names will be immortalized on the
first genuine Corinthian CD and DVD.
The first edition of the festival pays
tribute to Adoniran Barbosa, one of the
most important composers in Brazilian
popular music and one who dedicated
many songs to Corinthians. Adoniran
was the patron of the event.
Many major names in Brazilian music
participated in the festival, including
groups like the Trovadores Urbanos, the
Demônios da Garoa and the singer Luiza
Possi, who announced the contestants
who made it to the finals.
The winner received a prize of
R$ 10 thousand, as well as the Adoniran
Barbosa trophy. The contestants
coming in second and third place
received prizes of R$ 7 thousand and
R$ 5 thousand respectively. There were
also prizes of R$ 5 thousand each for
the best interpreter and the singer
chosen by popular vote.
To end the festival in style, the singer
Michel Teló, famous for the international
hit “If I catch you”, gave a show in the
Parque São Jorge gym.

Memory
The rowing
tradition
The influence the sport had on the club modified its original
coat of arms, with the addition of the pair of oars and the anchor
Rowing is one of the
more traditional sports at
Corinthians, having been
introduced in 1933, when the
club was presided by Alfredo
Schürig. At the time, the club
acquired ten used sculls from
the Clube Espéria and initiated
a brilliant campaign resulting
in a great many rowing
victories. In 1926 Corinthians
had bought a large piece of
land on the banks of the Tietê
river on São Paulo’s east side,
the current location of Parque
São Jorge. Upon moving
to this new site, the club
discovered the delight and
the glory to be had in rowing
regattas. Several generations
of members learned to swim
and to row in river. And it was
due to rowing that the anchor
and the oars were added to the
club’s coat of arms in 1927.
In 1972, the University of
São Paulo inaugurated its
Olympic aquatic area and the
club opened a second centre
for rowing activities, taking
advantage of the extensive
infrastructure which included
a large area for aerobic
exercises and training boats.

sport club
An age-old sport | Rowing was popular before Christ. Indeed, for the Chinese and
the Egyptians it was one of the main means of transportation. Rowing competitions as
we know them today began in 1715 with single-skiff boat races. The world-famous races
between the English universities Oxford and Cambridge on the river Thames, which use
eight-man skiffs, began in 1829. 1893 saw the foundation of the International Rowing Association (Fisa) by Belgium, France, Italy and Switzerland. Whereas, in the state of São Paulo,
the first rowing competition took place in 1897 in the city of Santos (São Paulo).
With the construction of a major highway alongside the Tietê and ever higher levels
of pollution in the river, the club’s rowing activities were transferred to the Olympic
facilities in the university of São Paulo. This area is now the base for a number of rowing
clubs, including Corinthians.
The purchase of indoor
rowing machines for
physical preparation
and for time trials for
Brazilian and international
competitions, as well as
11 sculls and 56 carbon fibre
oars from Argentina and
the United States, increased
the competitiveness of the
Corinthian rowers. Currently,
the club has 60 sculls and
a training launch.
Currently more than 50 men
and women athletes compete
in the sport. The Corinthian
rowing team took part in
crossing the Tietê river in the
São Paulo Virada Esportiva
during the commemorations
of the club’s 100 th anniversary
in 2010. In 2013, the team
participated in the World
Rowing Championship,
in which more than 3,300
athletes competed before a
public of over 10 thousand
spectators, winning a second
place in one of the stages.
The club was also won the
world championship in the
Master category four times.
The Water Sports
department, which is
responsible for rowing
activities, offers:
• high performance sculls
for official Brazilian and
international competitions;
• classes for beginners on the
club premises and further
instruction and training at the
University of São Paulo facility;
• a varied program aimed at
developing athletes to
participate in Brazilian and
international competitions.
