Corinthians expect at least 45,000 for Rosario Central decider | OneFootball

Corinthians expect at least 45,000 inside Neo Química Arena on Thursday night as they host Rosario Central in the Libertadores last-16 second leg.

Kick-off is at 21:30. According to Meu Timao, the total could rise because unpaid reservations are returning to the Fiel Torcedor system and being released again.

The away allocation in the South Stand is sold out, with no further tickets available for visiting fans as of Wednesday.

Since the stadium reopened after the World Cup break, the South Stand has been reconfigured without seats. Once fully opened, capacity there is expected to rise from 7,406 to 9,083.

The arena’s biggest crowd of 2026 was 46,263 for the 0-0 draw with Palmeiras on 12 April in the Brasileiro. In São Paulo, city derbies are staged with a single set of supporters.

On the pitch, Corinthians are chasing a quarter-final place after a 0-0 draw in Argentina in the first leg. A win for either side takes them through, another draw means penalties.
