In the first phase of this edition, they scored 42 times in 17 matches, which represents an average of 2.47 goals per game. In 2022, the year of their worst mark until then, they scored 33 goals in 15 games — an average of 2.2 per match.

In 2023, Corinthians had their best attacking first phase in the span covered. Altogether, they scored 53 goals in 15 matches (an average of 3.53 per game). In the knockout stage, they added another 13 goals in six matches to win the national title.

In 2024, Corinthians’ attack found the net 40 times in 15 games, representing an average of 2.66 goals per match. Despite a lower output compared to the previous year, they added another 11 goals in the knockout ties and won the title once again.

Finally, in the 2025 season, they found the net 46 times in 15 matches — an average of 3.06 per game. Just like the previous year, they scored 11 more goals in the knockout stage and won the national title.

It is worth noting that until last year, the Brazilian Women’s Championship had 16 teams and, consequently, each of them played 15 matches in the first phase. Starting in 2026, that number jumped to 18 participants, which increased each team’s number of matches to 17.

On-field commitments don’t stop

While the financial issues remain unresolved, the Brabas face an important week on the field. This Wednesday (26), at 6:30 p.m. (Brasília time), the team hosts Taubaté at Fazendinha for the seventh and final round of the first phase of the Paulista Women’s Championship.

Corinthians sit in fourth place in the state competition with ten points and are still chasing a direct spot in the semifinals. To achieve that goal, they need to win their match and rely on favorable results in the other fixtures of the round.

Later in the season, the team will also begin its quarterfinal matchup in the Brazilian Women’s Championship. The opponent will be Cruzeiro, with the first match in Belo Horizonte next Monday, the 31st, at 7:15 p.m., and the return leg in São Paulo on September 7, Brazil’s Independence Day holiday, at 5 p.m. There is still no decision on whether the match will be held at Estádio Alfredo Schürig, Fazendinha, or at Neo Química Arena.
