This week, the structure of Couto Pereira gave the fans of the fans Coritiba when pieces of concrete were detached and fell, reaching two fans, without gravity. The fact happened before GAME AGAINST THE OPERARYon Tuesday (11), and once again brought debates about the maintenance of the stadium.
Since the beginning of the 2025 season, fans have complained and requested greater maintenance from the Alviverde Stadium.
“I have a critical analysis of the maintenance of Couto. Taking to Pro Tork, the structures are outdated, very old. It would be good for a restructuring or revamination of the sectors that already exist, “says partner Marlus Miguel, 31.
The fall of the concrete pieces on Tuesday were just a fright. The thigh offered aid, but the fans did not feel the need. Even so, the episode lights a warning to possible new falls.
To the Adois Sports the CFO of Coritiba, André Camástrini stated that there are no higher risks in the structure, according to surveys of the Regional Council of Engineering and Agronomy of Paraná (CREA) and Building and Real Estate Safety Coordination from the City Hall of Curitiba.
He also stated that SAF makes reviews of Couto premises every six months.
Campestrini, in an interview with Umdois
“There are no higher risks as per the realization of companies contracted for evaluation and technical visits of the Regional Council of Engineering and Agronomy of Paraná (CREA), Cosedi and the Public Prosecution Service”
“Since October 2023 we have been doing independent structural evaluation every semester, and in February 2024 we began to do specialized maintenance and cleaning throughout the stadium. This program started to be completed at the end of 2025,” he said.
Couto Pereira reform project is in the technical analysis phase
A TREECORP INVESTMENTSowner of 90% of the Coritiba SAF, is up to 2030, seven years from the sale, to start the works of the Thigh-Branca Stadium modernization project.
According to Campestrini, the project is in the technical analysis phase, but the current priority is the new CT, in Campina Grande do Sul.
“The focus at this time is at the training center that is waiting for licenses to start. Couto is under analysis of the project received,” he said.
Coritiba hopes to start the works of the new CT in the first quarter of this year. At the end of 2024, the changes were approved by the SAF Board of Directors, on the eve of the election of the club’s club and departure Association of the Association Chair on the Council.
And the lawn of Couto Pereira?
Another point that has been suffering some criticism is the lawn of the stadium. Campo do Couto Pereira has always been a positive highlight of Coritiba, but this year it was possible to see some pieces of land, especially near the goal.
In addition, the lawn has been easily flooded with the rains that occur during this year. In Atletiba, on January 25, for example, the heavy rain has practically impossible to the game. In the match against Rio Branco, in early February, some pieces in the area in front of the Mauá curve were holes.
Campestrini points to the volume of rainfall as a harmful factor in maintenance and argues that the club increased the investment in lawn adjustments.
“Since December 2024, the volume of rainfall has been harmful to maintain the lawn. However, Lube has increased the investment (applying fertilizer, seeds, cuts, drainage, others)” “he explained.
“As a brand recognized in the national market, Coritiba FC dedicates attention, energy and money in the search for the best quality of the lawn. However, we also depend on non -controllable factors such as rain, sun, cold and heat,” he added.
In addition to structure, fans complains about services
Pro Tork partner since the creation of the sector, the white thigh Marlus Miguel also complained about the stadium services, criticizing the long lines in cafeterias and problems with turnstiles. This year, Coritiba began their own operation of the stadium bars, after being able to break with total football.
“I’m from Pro Tork since the opening of the industry and I had never seen such a neglect. The bars are disorganized, there are general problems in the stadium and a lot of disorganization,” criticized Miguel.
“We imagined that SAF would improve the condition, and I’m not talking about the team, but the general structure, but it got worse,” he added.
In a note, in January, Coxa explained that it took over the management and has had a team since 2024 to manage snack bars and bars.
“With all the expertise of a team built since 2024 and dedicated to serving our fans in this regard, we still have the important partnership of brands such as Ambev and A & B360 to establish a quality standard, both in service and products, in all sectors From the stadium, “he wrote at the time.
