Official Partnership Announcement – 26.01.2021

Homefans are delighted to announce an exciting new partnership with one of the most remarkable and modern facilities in Brazil and South America: Neo Química Arena, home of one of the biggest clubs of the continent: Sport Club Corinthians Paulista and its famous “Casa do Povo” Stadium Tour.  

Located in São Paulo, Brazil, it was built for the 2014 FIFA World Cup, where it hosted 6 games including the opening match and one Semi-Final. It is the fifth-largest stadium used by top tier teams in Brazil with a capacity of 49,205 spectators. Albeit its modernity and functionality, the Arena is a magnificent tribute to the heritage and history amassed by Corinthians, one of the biggest clubs in Brazil.

The partnership will allow Homefans to host the famous “Casa do Povo” Stadium Tour on its marketplace as a virtual tour, and provide an immersive experience to all members of the community from the comfort of their houses. Equally, Neo Química Arena will reach international audiences, who will learn the ins and outs of the history of the club, the idols, and to explore first hand all the corners of the arena in a live virtual environment. 

The Neo Química Arena

With more than 35 million supporters around the world, Corinthians is well known for having the greatest and most loyal fans and followers in Brazil. The club has more than 120,000 members and their Ultras, called Gaviões da Fiel, nearly 100,000, which means they go everywhere the club plays. 

The unique Homefans marketplace model incorporates the fan experience at the heart of its value proposition, and the recent development of the Virtual Stadium Tour experiences that fans can experience online from the comfort of their homes – Homefans LIVE – confirms this novel approach. The Neo Química Arena will become the first virtual tour of a Brazilian club on the sports experience marketplace.

This partnership aims to educate and capture global sports fans around the historical heritage of a unique club, based around the magnificence of a modern facility that tells the story of Corinthians like no other. In the end, there is no place like home.

I could not be more excited to know that international audiences will discover the amazing story of Corinthians, and will get to know the magnitude of the biggest club in Brazil. This virtual tour will surely entice many fans to book a trip afterwards and come to São Paulo to experience how it is to be a Corinthians fan”.

“This international partnership with Homefans will help the Neo Química Arena capture a global audience, position its brand internationally and to tell a unique story of a huge club in Brazil.
