The world of emotions where every result is possible. The text of the manifesto states:
“Possibilities. The word that defines a football field.
A word that carries much more than its meaning.
A word that moves. live.
That starts in training, tireless.
That brings together strangers into one team.
Who is always after the result, without ever giving up.
Who bets in every moment, carried by faith.
Which turns victory into something much bigger: Legacy.
The legacy of heroes.
The legacy of the Greatest Champion of Brazil.
The legacy of winning the Libertadores – three times.
3 times! Lifting the cup twice in the same year!
What are the chances of this happening? The possibilities?!
And back to the magic word: Possibilities.
It’s what makes us play with the heart.
That’s what makes us one family: the Palmeiras Family!
Men, women, a single team…
Born to imagine, have faith and make it happen.
Always looking for every chance, for every opportunity.
To show why we are born winners.
And that the countryside is our destiny.
And it is in the field that every result is possible”.
