Besides the good start in the 2026 edition, the triumph reinforces Corinthians' positive history in debut matches of the tournament since the category's restructuring. In 2022, when the CBF (Brazilian Football Confederation) replaced the former Under-18 Women's Brasileirão with the Under-20, the club has participated in all editions of the competition.

Considering only the first games of each campaign, the Brabinhas' record is favorable. With this Sunday's result, Corinthians now has three wins, one draw, and one loss in tournament debuts.

The sequence began in 2022, when the alvinegro team defeated Juventude 3-0. The following year, the team drew 1-1 with Internacional. In 2024, the debut ended with a loss to São Paulo 5-0, but Corinthians managed to recover throughout the tournament and advanced to the semifinals of that edition.

Last season, the start was also positive. In 2025, the Brabinhas defeated Criciúma 5-1 in the first round of the championship.

In 2026, the team is led by coach Julia Passero, who took over the Under-20 team after winning the Under-17 Brasileirão title in 2025 with the club. This season's competition brings together 24 teams divided into six groups of four teams. In Group D, besides Corinthians and Tarumã, there are also Red Bull Bragantino and AD Taubaté. The top two teams advance to the knockout stage.

The Brabinhas' next match is on Wednesday (11), when Corinthians faces AD Taubaté in the second round of the tournament. The match will be held at Alfredo Schürig Stadium, the Fazendinha.
