Corinthians aim to protect Neo Química Arena record against Bahia in women’s semi-final second leg | OneFootball

Corinthians host Bahia on Monday at 21:30 in the second leg of the Campeonato Brasileiro Feminino semi-finals, holding the draw advantage after a 1-0 first-leg win and leaning on a formidable record at Neo Química Arena.

According to Meu Timao, around 6,200 tickets had been sold by Saturday morning, already surpassing this season’s paid attendance high of 5,701 set in the 3-1 win over Cruzeiro on seven September at Canindé in the quarter-finals.

Since their first match there eight years ago, Corinthians are unbeaten in 31 outings at the stadium, returning 93.5% of the points and an 80-18 goal differential. No visiting side has won.

This will be their third appearance at the ground this season. The previous two were in the group phase, a 2-2 draw with Fluminense on 20 February and a 4-0 win over América-MG on 23 March.

Hopes were raised early in the year by president Osmar Stabile that the women would feature more often at the Arena, echoing 2024 when eight games were staged, after only two in 2025. That increase has not materialised.

In 2026 most home fixtures have been played at Parque São Jorge, with Canindé covering periods when that venue was unavailable. In 2025 the team also used Pacaembu and José Liberatti in Osasco.
