Around 900 fans welcome Corinthians to Brasília for the Supercopa final | OneFootball

Late this Saturday afternoon (31), Corinthians landed in Brasília with their sights set on the Supercopa do Brasil final. This Sunday (1), at 4pm (Brasília time), the Alvinegro will face Flamengo at the Mané Garrincha Stadium. The club from Parque São Jorge arrives as the reigning Copa do Brasil champion, after defeating Vasco, while the team from Rio comes in as the current Brazilian league champion.

The Central do Timão was present at the arrival, where around 900 Corinthians fans turned out in force to support the team delegation. At one point, some fans invaded the press area and reached the section reserved for the players' passage. To disperse the crowd, pepper spray was used. The club from Parque São Jorge has listed 30 players for the match against the red-and-black team.

The main novelty in the squad list is the presence of forward Kaio César, recently signed on loan from Al-Hilal, Saudi Arabia, until the end of the season. The player will wear shirt number 37 and has already been registered in the CBF's Daily Information Bulletin (BID), making him available for coach Dorival Júnior.

On the other hand, the Alvinegro has two absences: defender João Pedro Tchoca, returning from Italy after failing medical exams at Torino, and midfielder José Martínez, who remains in Venezuela awaiting the reissue of his passport to return to Brazil. Corinthians is seeking their second Supercopa title.

The first was won precisely against Flamengo, on January 27, 1991, in a 1-0 victory for Corinthians, with a goal by former midfielder Neto, at Morumbis. At the time, the Alvinegro was the reigning national champion and the team from Rio had just won the Copa do Brasil.
