Corinthians take the field on Tuesday night (15) to face Bahia at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at Arena Fonte Nova, in the first leg of the 2026 Brazilian Women’s Championship semifinal. In the quarterfinals, the club from Parque São Jorge knocked out Cruzeiro by beating the Minas Gerais side 4-1 on aggregate.
The Corinthians coaching staff has just one absence for the match: midfielder Ana Vitória, who is already undergoing physiotherapy with the club’s professionals after suffering an abdominal injury in the final stretch of August. Given this, head coach Emily Lima selected the following lineup to start the match: Nicole; Gi Fernandes, Thaís Regina, Erika, Thais Ferreira and Tamires; Duda Sampaio, Vic Albuquerque and Gabi Zanotti; Belén Aquino and Jhonson.

After facing Bahia away from home in the first leg of the Brazilian Women’s Championship semifinal, Corinthians remain focused on the national competition. Next Monday (21), at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time), Corinthians will host the northeastern side at Neo Química Arena for the return leg of the decisive stage of the national tournament. Alvinegro are the tournament’s most successful club with seven titles – 2018, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025.
In the first stage of the Brazilian Women’s Championship, it is worth remembering, Corinthians had the second-best campaign with 38 points – 12 wins, two draws and three losses – 42 goals scored and 18 conceded. Bahia, meanwhile, finished sixth with 29 points and, in the quarterfinals, eliminated Palmeiras on penalties after drawing both matches 1-1.
