Corinthians chase sixth: warm-up video for Women's Libertadores | OneFootball

Corinthians makes its debut in the Conmebol Women's Libertadores this Thursday, October 2, at 4 PM (Brasília time), against Independiente Del Valle from Ecuador, at Lencho Stadium in Buenos Aires. The Brabas are the most successful team in the international tournament with five titles (2017, 2019, 2021, 2023, and 2024).

As a form of 'warm-up' before the start of the competition, the Corinthians Women's social media profile highlighted the history of the sport in Brazilian football. From 1941 to 1979, a period corresponding to the Getúlio Vargas government—which included the military dictatorship (ended in 1985)—women were prohibited from playing football. The material celebrates this overcoming and exalts the Alvinegro project.

“Today we are a mirror, but for a long time we were the glass. But we dreamed, fought, broke barriers, and earned our place with a lot of effort. Record audiences, titles, historic milestones. We made history because the struggle fuels dreams, and we are made of dreams. We want to take this jersey to the top, where Corinthians deserves to be”, says the narration.

Throughout the video, there is participation from some athletes from the Corinthians women's youth categories—Under-17 and 20. They appear folding the uniforms of the athletes registered for the international competition—22 in total. Midfielder Vitoria Yaya, who recently transferred to PSG, was registered, but the club could not replace her on the list, as the Conmebol regulations do not allow changes in this case, and the request was denied.

The list was sent on the last September 2, before the player's departure to French football. Besides the match against the Ecuadorians, Alvinegro will face Always Ready from Bolivia and Independiente Santa Fe from Colombia, runner-up in the last edition, on October 5 and 8, respectively.

Additionally, some of the Brabas players, like defender Erika, posted on social media that the Corinthians squad received a cosmetics kit from Vizzela, the team's sponsor, before the start of the competition. A letter to each athlete was also sent.

Psychologist Djara Fortes also promoted a dynamic where the athletes received support letters from their families.
