Corinthians pass one million home tickets at Neo Química Arena despite 3-1 loss to Fluminense | OneFootball

Corinthians have sold more than one million tickets at Neo Química Arena in 2026, the mark arriving during Sunday's 3-1 defeat by Fluminense in round 28. The match drew 38,285 paying supporters.

That crowd lifted the season total to 1,001,514 attendances across 25 home dates in the first nine months. According to Gato Mestre, Corinthians are the second Brazilian club to reach the milestone in 2026, with Flamengo doing so about 21 days earlier.

The current average is 40,060 paying fans per game, generating R$ 73.809.145,60 in revenue. Reported stadium occupancy stands at 79,20 percent. Capacity is 50,582 after seats were removed in the South end, while the most used configuration has 48,905 places.

Corinthians have staged one home fixture away from Itaquera this season, facing Bahia at Vila Belmiro on 28 January under Dorival Júnior. That game drew 13,577 payers and yielded R$ 1.162.555,00. In 2025 the one million mark at the Arena came one match earlier, after 24 home games.

Sunday's attendance ended a run of crowds above 40,000 at the ground. The last sub-40,000 gate had been on 16 August, a 2-1 loss to Cruzeiro. Recent turnouts included 46,552 against Rosario Central, 47,099 versus Santos, 44,280 against Chapecoense and 47,026 for the Estudiantes tie in the Libertadores.

Corinthians now pause for just over two weeks due to the FIFA window. They resume on Wednesday seven October at Internacional, Beira-Rio, kick-off 19:30, in round 29 of the Brasileirão.
