Coritiba SAF is the football company that operates the professional football activities of Coritiba Foot Ball Club, one of the most historically significant football organisations in Paraná and Brazil. Coritiba was founded on 12 October 1909 in Curitiba and has more than a century of sporting history. The club is popularly known as “Coxa” or “Coxa-Branca” and has a strong identity connected to the city of Curitiba and the state of Paraná. The club's official history records its foundation in 1909 and its transformation into a Sociedade Anônima do Futebol in 2023. Coritiba is the most successful club in Paraná in terms of state championships and has won 39 Campeonato Paranaense titles. Its most significant national achievement came in 1985, when it became the first club from Paraná to win the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A. The club has also won the Brazilian second division on two occasions, in 2007 and 2010. The SAF structure represents a major change in the club's corporate and sporting management. In 2023, Treecorp Investimentos acquired 90% of the shares of Coritiba SAF, while the traditional association retained the remaining ownership interest. The transition was intended to provide a new financial and organisational foundation and support long-term investment in sporting infrastructure, professional management and football development. Coritiba places substantial importance on its youth academy, which has a strong reputation for developing players for professional football. The club's academy has produced players who have progressed to the senior team, the Brazilian national-team environment and clubs in Brazil and abroad. Its youth teams continue to form an important component of the club's sporting strategy. The professional team plays its home matches at Estádio Major Antônio Couto Pereira, commonly known as Couto Pereira, located in the Alto da Glória neighbourhood of Curitiba. The official club information confirms the stadium and headquarters address on Rua Ubaldino do Amaral in Curitiba. Coritiba SAF currently operates as a privately held spectator-sports organisation with 201–500 employees according to its LinkedIn company profile. The profile identifies Curitiba, Paraná as its headquarters and describes the organisation as a football business focused on Brazilian football and the Campeonato Brasileiro. The organisation also maintains professional departments covering football operations, communications, commercial activities, technology, finance, human resources, player development and other areas necessary to operate a modern professional football club. Current recruitment activity demonstrates continued expansion across both sporting and corporate functions.
