On Thursday (29th), Corinthians began preparations for the Supercopa Rei final. The activities took place at the Dr. Joaquim Grava Training Center and marked the start of the preparation for the match against Flamengo, scheduled for next Sunday (1st) at 4 PM (Brasília time).

After their debut in the Brazilian Championship against Bahia in Santos, at Vila Belmiro, the alvinegro team returned during the night and stayed at the training center to optimize logistics and the technical staff's planning for the next day. Thus, the training program could start on Thursday morning (29th).

The group was divided into two. The athletes who played for more than 45 minutes in Wednesday's match performed regenerative activities inside the training center. Meanwhile, the other players went through activation in the gym before heading to the field.

On the field, coach Dorival Júnior led ball possession exercises with transitions, as well as work in a reduced space, focusing on the team's dynamics and intensity. The activity was part of the initial preparation for the decisive weekend match.

Corinthians will train again on Friday afternoon (30th), once more at the Dr. Joaquim Grava Training Center, continuing their preparation for the final. The current Copa do Brasil champion, Timão, will face Flamengo, the 2025 Brazilian Championship winner, at the Mané Garrincha Stadium in Brasília-DF.
