For the tournament, Corinthians has a squad made up of players from the Under-18 and Under-20 teams. The main standouts are goalkeeper Cauã Gamba, a starter for Brazil’s Under-17 national team, as well as some players who have already made their debuts for the senior team this season, such as Kaio Lopes, Vini Dias, Patrick Petri, Michel Camargo, Davi and Nicolas.

Corinthians enters the Talentos LNF as one of the favorites for the title. In the first two editions of the tournament, in 2024 and 2025, Timão was eliminated in the semifinals. Group B of the competition is made up of Blumenau, Magnus, Carlos Barbosa, Joinville and Pato. The top two teams from each group advance to the knockout stage. There, the first-place team from one group faces the second-place team from the other, and the same applies to the other matchup. The grand final will also be played over two legs.

In the 2026 Paulista Under-20 Championship, Alvinegro has a perfect record, with 11 wins in 11 matches, scoring 56 goals and conceding only nine. Timão’s top scorer in the state competition for the category is Dudu Borges, with 11 goals.

Daniel Magalhães’ side returns to the court on the night of this Thursday (30), at 8 p.m., to face Minas at the same venue. Timão will close out the opening stage of the tournament against Atlântico Erechim, at the same time, on Friday (31). The matches are broadcast by LNF TV – the competition’s official channel on YouTube.
