Corinthians near sell-out for Internacional tie after 2-0 first-leg loss | OneFootball

Corinthians host Internacional at Neo Química Arena on Thursday, 6 August, 20:00, seeking a Copa do Brasil quarter-final after losing 2-0. A big home crowd is expected.

According to Meu Timao, around 37,000 tickets were reserved by Wednesday morning. Sales opened Friday in phases, first for Fiel Torcedor members then the general public, and run until kick-off or while available.

About 700 tickets remain in Oeste Inferior Corner, Oeste Inferior Central and Oeste Superior. All other areas are sold out on the Fiel Torcedor platform. The club often re-lists unpaid reservations on the eve, which can free seats elsewhere.

Attendance is expected to top 40,000, including hospitality boxes and the Minha Cadeira plans. That mark has been passed in eight of 16 home games this season.

The stadium’s biggest crowd in 2026 was the 0-0 draw with Palmeiras on 12 April, when 46,263 attended. São Paulo derbies are single-fan games, increasing capacity as no South away end is needed.

Since the World Cup pause, the South sector has been reconfigured without seats. Once cleared, capacity there is expected to rise from 7,406 to 9,083.

Organised supporters have agreed a joint mobilisation across all sections for the 90 minutes, uniting Gaviões da Fiel, Camisa 12, Pavilhão Nove, Estopim da Fiel, Coringão Chopp and Fiel Macabra. They said they expect players to show fierce commitment.

Corinthians must win by two goals to take the tie to penalties, and victory by three or more would secure a place in the quarter-finals.
