After Corinthians win, Malafaia highlights violence stats in Brazil | OneFootball

Corinthians defeated Vasco 3-1 this Sunday (08), in the Super Copa Gramado de Futsal, in a match held at the Perinão Gymnasium. After the match, Corinthians coach Fernando Malafaia took the opportunity, as this Sunday is celebrated as International Women's Day, to comment on the high rate of violence against women in society and to make an appeal.

After the victory, the coach commented on recent data about the violence scenario in the country and expressed concern about the situation. Speaking on the topic, Malafaia highlighted: “I will take advantage of the large audience of the broadcaster to talk about today's special morning, but I don't know if we have anything to celebrate. Statistics indicate that, in the year 2025, we have 4 million cases of violence against women in Brazil. In various facets of violence, with several homicides”, said the coach to LNFTV.

Following this, the coach commented and reinforced the need for reflection and change on the part of society.

“As a citizen, regarding society, I am ashamed. I am saddened by such a situation. We need to do something as a society,” said the coach.

According to a survey released by the Brazilian Public Security Forum, Brazil recorded, in 2025, the highest number of femicides in the last ten years. In total, 1,568 women were murdered due to gender, a number that represents an increase of 4.7% compared to 2024, when 1,492 cases were recorded.

Another survey, conducted by the Security Observatories Network in the study “They Live: the urgency of life,” pointed out that, on average, about 12 women suffered some type of violence every 24 hours in 2025 in the states monitored by the research. Experts warn that the numbers may be even higher, as many cases go unreported due to the victims' fear or insecurity.

Corinthians itself also took a stand on the issue throughout the day. In social media posts, the club highlighted the importance of the date and reinforced the need to combat violence against women, as well as promoting available reporting channels for the population, such as the service Dial 180, which operates 24 hours a day to guide and receive reports.

The statement came shortly after Corinthians' qualification in the tournament. With the triumph over Vasco da Gama, the São Paulo team secured their continuation in the competition held in the city of Gramado and continues to fight for the Super Copa Gramado de Futsal title.
