Corinthians discover venue for Women's Club World Cup semi-final | OneFootball

On the morning of this Friday (12), FIFA announced on its communication channels the host stadiums for the first edition of the 2026 Women's Club World Cup – Champions Cup –, which will take place between January 28 and February 1, 2026. Thus, Corinthians will make their debut in the competition against Gotham FC from the United States, at the Gtech Community Stadium, home of Brentford, in West London, England.

It is worth remembering that Corinthians earned their spot in the tournament by winning the 2025 Conmebol Women's Libertadores, after defeating Deportivo Cali-COL in a penalty shootout. Gotham FC, in turn, qualified for the competition as the Concacaf champion.

The other semifinal will be between Arsenal, from England, the current winner of the Women's Champions League, and the winner of Wuhan Jiangda, from China, and AS FAR, from Morocco. Both semifinal matches will take place in January. The final and the third-place playoff will be held at Emirates Stadium, which has already hosted several Champions League finals and is one of the largest stadiums in the world.

Arsenal's general director, Richard Garlick, celebrated the fact that the tournament will be held on English soil, in a statement released by FIFA: “We are very pleased to host the third-place match and the final at Arsenal Stadium, as we continue to be a reference and drive the growth of women's football alongside our fans.”

In 2026, in addition to the World Cup, the Brabas will compete in the Supercopa do Brasil, Copa do Brasil, Conmebol Libertadores, Campeonato Paulista, and Brasileirão. In the current season, the Alvinegro has already won the Brasileirão (for the sixth time) and the Libertadores (for the seventh time), finishing as runners-up in the Supercopa and being eliminated in the quarterfinals of the Copa do Brasil.

This Sunday (14), Corinthians will close out the season facing Palmeiras at Estádio do Canindé, in the second leg of the Women's Campeonato Paulista final, at 10 a.m. (Brasília time). If they want to take home the trophy, they will have to win by at least four goals to take the match to penalties, since they lost the first leg 5-1 at Arena Barueri. If they win by five goals, they will claim the title outright.
