Partnerships

Eight partnerships are on record, tiered core and minor.

• BlinkPlanetcoreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 20 August 2025Gaviões partnered with BlinkPlanet, a global digital experience platform, to launch the 'Fiel até o fim' digital sticker collection — a first-of-its-kind NFT-enabled collectible album. The partnership combines Gaviões' 56-year history with BlinkPlanet's digital platform technology, allowing fans to collect, trade, and convert cards to NFTs. The collection spans five thematic categories including idols, fan symbols, historical conquests, carnival, and stadium moments.
• Caixa Econômica Federal (CEF)coreStrategic or Co-development PartnerGaviões partnered with Caixa Econômica Federal and Sport Club Corinthians Paulista to launch the 'Doe Arena' campaign — a fan-funded initiative to help repay the Neo Química Arena debt. The campaign enables fans to donate directly to a Caixa account used exclusively for debt amortization. In the first month, R$33 million in donations reduced the principal from R$688.9M to R$655.5M, saving over R$5 million in annual interest.
• Sport Club Corinthians PaulistacoreStrategic or Co-development PartnerGaviões da Fiel exists primarily to support and monitor Sport Club Corinthians Paulista. The organization maintains an active institutional relationship with the club, participating in governance discussions, stadium initiatives (arena debt), and representing the fan voice in club decisions. The organization also supports the team at matches and collaborates on carnival activities.
• Rádio CoringãominorStrategic or Co-development PartnerOn November 22, 2012, Rádio Livre Gaviões formalized a partnership with Rádio Coringão to broadcast Corinthians games live. The partnership began with the 2012 World Cup final broadcast and continued with live game transmissions from the Gaviões headquarters.
• Liga das Escolas de Samba de São PaulocoreOthersGaviões da Fiel competes in the Grupo Especial (Special Group) of the São Paulo Carnival, organized by the Liga das Escolas de Samba de São Paulo. The organization has won 4 titles in the Special Group since joining in 1988 and is the defending fourth-place school for the 2025 and 2027 parades.
• Ministério Público do Estado de São PaulocoreOthersGaviões da Fiel has engaged with the São Paulo State Public Ministry as part of its institutional oversight role, including participation in meetings regarding the judicial intervention at Corinthians and the investigation into former president Andrés Sanchez's use of corporate credit cards.

Direct peers

• Pavilhão Nove: A second torcida organizada of Sport Club Corinthians Paulista, competing with Gaviões for the same fan base. Useful peer for benchmarking member acquisition, retention, and rival-event dynamics within the Corinthians supporter ecosystem.
• Mancha Verde: Organized fan club (torcida organizada) of Sociedade Esportiva Palmeiras and a competing São Paulo Carnival Special Group samba school — the closest structural analog to Gaviões' dual football+carnival identity. Direct competitor for members, carnival titles, and advertiser spend in the same Brazilian torcida-organizada market.
• Torcida Independente: São Paulo FC torcida organizada, a peer of comparable size and governance model within the same city as Gaviões. Comparable in subscription membership structure, social programs, and matchday-organized supporter operations.
• Cruzeiro do Sul: Cruzeiro Esporte Clube torcida organizada, a sizeable Minas Gerais-based peer with comparable membership dues, merchandise operations, and supporter representation activities. Useful geographic counterweight to the predominantly São Paulo-based torcida-organized market.
• Camisa 12: Organized supporters of Clube Atlético Mineiro, one of Brazil's largest torcidas organizadas by membership. Comparable in subscription model, fan-club merchandise, social programs, and organized matchday presence.
• Torcida Jovem do Flamengo: One of Brazil's largest torcidas organizadas, supporting Clube de Regatas do Flamengo. Direct comparable in scale of membership, organized supporter presence at matches, and member-funded operational model — though without Gaviões' top-tier carnival identity.
• Dragões da Real: São Paulo FC torcida organizada and fellow Special Group samba school participating in the São Paulo Carnival alongside Gaviões. Comparable in dual football+carnival model, member dues structure, and event-driven GTM.

Others

• Liga das Escolas de Samba de São Paulo: Regulatory body that organizes the São Paulo Carnival Special Group in which Gaviões competes as a samba school. Relevant peer because Gaviões' carnival business model is contingent on the Liga's scheduling, judging, and promotional infrastructure.

Broad incumbents

• Sport Club Corinthians Paulista: The professional football club whose supporters Gaviões organizes. Operates at vastly larger scale and owns the IP, brand, and match rights around which Gaviões' entire raison d'être is built; relevant for partnership/dependency analysis.

Regional players

• Império Serrano: Rio de Janeiro-based samba school competing in the Série Ouro, comparable to Gaviões in carnival-side business model (membership dues, costume sales, sponsorship) but operating in a different geography and carnival ecosystem.
