Corinthians' penultimate session before Vitória in Women's Brasileirão | OneFootball

On the morning of this Friday (24), Corinthians’ women’s team held their penultimate training session before their next commitment of the 2026 season. This coming Sunday (26), the Alvinegro will host Vitória at Estádio do Canindé in the 13th round of the Brazilian Women’s Championship qualifying stage.

At the moment, Timão sit at the top of the overall standings with nine wins, one draw, and two losses — 31 goals scored and 13 conceded. As usual, in this morning’s session, the Brabas began the day with activation work in the training center gym. They then warmed up on the pitch, and finally head coach Emily Lima led drills focused on possession, line-breaking passes, and finishing.

Throughout the history of women’s football, Corinthians and Vitória have faced each other only twice, both at Fazendinha, in the 2019 and 2020 Brazilian Championships, winning by scores of 2-1 and 6-0, respectively. Since the women’s calendar resumed after the World Cup break, Timão have already taken the field twice.

Last Friday (17), they beat Ferroviária 1-0 at Parque São Jorge in the fourth round of the Paulista Women’s Championship, with a goal from forward Jhonson. Three days later, they met Ferrinha again, this time in the Copa do Brasil round of 16 in Araraquara, and were beaten 1-0, bowing out of the tournament with R$180,000 in prize money.

For the match against Vitória, the Brabas are expected to be without center-back Agustina, who returned to Corinthians at the start of the season and has yet to play due to a recurring strain associated with scar tissue in her left soleus muscle — she remains in physical rehabilitation with Alvinegro’s Health and Performance Department — as well as defensive midfielder Dayana Rodríguez, who is recovering from lower back pain. Meanwhile, left-back Tamires is expected to return after fulfilling commitments with Rede Globo during the World Cup.

Until the end of the season, Corinthians will still compete in the Brazilian Championship, the Paulista Championship, and the CONMEBOL Women’s Libertadores, which will be played in Ecuador from October 15 to 31. The Brabas are the most successful club in the international competition with six titles — 2017, 2019, 2021, 2023, 2024, and 2025.
