Corinthians hit new mark in women’s winning run since 2016 | OneFootball

Qualification for the 2026 Brazilian Women’s Championship final added yet another impressive figure to the recent history of the Brabas. Since the women’s team was reactivated at Parque São Jorge in 2016, Corinthians have already played in 30 finals and are now preparing for their 31st, against São Paulo.

The new milestone was reached after the semifinal against Bahia. Timão won both matches 1-0, first at Arena Fonte Nova and then at Neo Química Arena, closing the knockout tie with a 2-0 aggregate score. Jhonson scored the goal that sealed qualification last Monday (21), in Itaquera.

The next final will be played over two Majestosos. The first takes place this Saturday (26), at 4:30 p.m., at Neo Química Arena. The second leg is scheduled for October 3, at the same time, at Morumbis.

More than 20 titles won in finals

The record built since 2016 shows that reaching the final has often ended with a title for Corinthians. Of the 30 finals already completed, the Brabas lifted the trophy on 22 occasions.

Those titles are spread across six competitions. There are seven Brazilian Championship titles, six Libertadores titles, four Paulista Championship titles, three Supercopa do Brasil titles, one Copa do Brasil title, and one Copa Paulista title.

During that period, Corinthians therefore won approximately 73% of the finals they played. The 2026 Brasileirão final will be the first opportunity to raise that total to 23 trophies.

In the national tournament, the consistency is even more significant. The team has qualified for its tenth consecutive Women’s Brasileirão final, having taken part in every final since 2017. There have been seven titles and two runner-up finishes in the nine finals already completed.

Brabas have missed very few finals since the reactivation

Their frequency in finals can also be seen in the occasions when Corinthians did not reach a title match. According to the survey, that happened only eight times since 2016: in the 2016 Brasileirão; the 2016, 2017 and 2022 Paulistas; the 2020 and 2022 Libertadores; and the 2025 and 2026 Copa do Brasil. In every other competition played during that span, Corinthians reached the final.

The first trophy after the return of the women’s team came in 2016, with the Copa do Brasil title. The following year, the club reached the Brasileirão and Libertadores finals, finishing as national runners-up and winning the continental tournament. From that point on, finals became part of virtually every Brabas season.

The 2026 season can still add to the numbers

The final against São Paulo will be the third played by Corinthians in 2026 alone. At the start of the season, the Brabas reached the Copa das Campeãs and Supercopa do Brasil finals, finishing as runners-up in both.

The calendar still offers opportunities for the team to increase its number of finals and titles this year. After the Brasileirão, Corinthians will play in the Women’s Libertadores between October 15 and 31, in Quito, Ecuador. After that, the Brabas will still have the Paulista Championship knockout stage, scheduled for after the continental competition.

Now, the 31st final since the reactivation once again puts São Paulo in the black-and-white club’s path. The rivals already decided the Brasileirão itself in 2024, when Corinthians won both Majestosos and lifted the trophy.

In 2026, the Brabas enter the final seeking their eighth Brazilian title, which would also represent the competition’s seventh straight triumph.
