Corinthians fans go to Japan could break world record

Next week, Corinthians begins the dispute for the title of the World Interclubes in Japan. Whether or not the club will bring the cup to Brazil, we do not know, but the departure of fans of Sao Paulo to Japan may put the trip in the Guinness Book, the book of records.

According to Bruno Affonso, business manager of the tourism agency CVC, it is expected that about 20, 000 fans will ship from Brazil to Japan in the coming days. If this number is confirmed, this will be the largest movement of people from one continent to another ever made in peacetime.

Corinthians will make their World Cup debut on December 12 against the winner of the match between Sanfrecce Hiroshima of Japan and Al Ahly of Egypt. If he wins, Alvinegro will play in the final against South Korea's Ulsan Hyundai, Mexico's Monterrey, or England's Chelsea on December 16.
