Casuals Line Up for Fiel Pelo Mundo Match Announced

Sunday 7th September sees the Armada Group Stadium play host to a wonderful celebration of all things Corinthian – not least the main event of Corinthian-Casuals Legends taking on the Timao from around the world – coming together as Fiel Pelo Mundo in a match for the ages!

And now, the list of Corinthian-Casuals legends has been released, and we’re delighted to share it with you.

Players who’ve graced the King George’s pitch from the last 20 years come together to face Corinthians fans from across all corners of Europe in a symbolic friendly in celebration of the 115th anniversary of SC Corinthians Paulista.

The Corinthian-Casuals will include current First XI Manager Mu Maan, Assistant Manager Gabriel Odunaike and 1st Team Coach Mo Maan.

Joining them will be many recognisable faces, not least club legends Danny Bracken and Jamie Byatt – both of whom played in the 2015 match in Arena Corinthians.

Also, from that tour will be then Captain Joe Hicks, Ross Defoe, Danny Green (who was highlighted as a top player by then Corinthians Manager Tite), Joe Davies and Dave Hodges (tbc). Completing the tour line-up is Chris Watney – the producer of the acclaimed film ‘Brothers in Football’.

Alongside the eight tour veterans comes former Captain Chris Horwood, Leroy Griffiths, who went on to play League football and Micky Hudson. Scott Hassell, Simon Sobihy, Gavin Cartwright, Tommy Moorhouse and Matt Kidson complete the squad line-up.

The day includes beers, barbeques and bouncy castles with a focus on Brazilian culture. There will be wonderful exhibitions of live samba dancing, drums and a pagode by Quintal Do Samba.

The event starts at midday with the match kicking off at 2pm. It’s free admission with a suggested donation of 1kg of non-perishable food. You’ll be able to enjoy traditional grandstand atmosphere that only the Fiel can provide anywhere in the world. The party will go on until final orders at 11pm.
