Corinthians returned to CT Joaquim Grava on Friday to begin preparations for the Brasileirão Feminino quarter-final first leg against Cruzeiro on Monday. The match is at Arena Independência, kick-off 19:15.

According to Meu Timao, the day opened with an indoor strength block before the squad moved outside for warm-ups. Head coach Emily Lima then led attacking and tactical work, followed by a video session focused on Cruzeiro.

The sides meet again in the competition’s knockout rounds after contesting last season’s final. The first leg finished 2-2, then As Brabas lifted the trophy with a 1-0 win at Neo Química Arena, sealed by Thaís Ferreira.

This season Cruzeiro have the recent edge, winning 3-2 in the first phase’s 11th round, the only meeting in 2026. Corinthians have two more training sessions scheduled this weekend before the tie.

Corinthians ended the regular stage second on 38 points, three behind São Paulo. Cruzeiro were seventh with 28, and the winners will face Palmeiras or Bahia in the semi-finals.
