Corinthians switch venue for Vitória clash in Women’s Brasileirão | OneFootball

Next Sunday (26), at 11 a.m. (Brasília time), Corinthians will face Vitória in a match valid for the 13th round of the 2026 Brazilian Women’s Championship qualifying stage. At the moment, Timão leads the national competition with 28 points — nine wins, one draw, and two losses — with 31 goals scored and 13 conceded.

The match, initially scheduled for Alfredo Schürig Stadium, Fazendinha, has been moved to Canindé, Portuguesa’s stadium. The change was made official by the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) last Tuesday after a request from Corinthians itself. Last Friday (17), in the 1-0 win over Ferroviária in the Paulista Championship, Fazendinha’s pitch, due to its condition, was criticized by players and members of the Brabas coaching staff.

In addition, according to the Meu Timão website, Corinthians needed authorization from the Fire Department in order to host the match against Ferroviária in the state championship at the end of last week. According to the report, the venue documents required by the CBF were not in compliance.

Corinthians will face the Northeastern side at Canindé backed by a positive record at the venue. Altogether, there have been 17 wins, one draw, and one loss in 19 matches at the stadium, with 58 goals scored and only seven conceded. It is worth remembering that the Brabas are coming off an elimination in the round of 16 of the Women’s Copa do Brasil after being beaten 1-0 by Ferroviária in Araraquara last Monday (20). Timão left the competition with R$180,000 in its coffers, while missing out, on the other hand, on just over R$1.5 million.

Until the end of the season, Corinthians will still have two other competitions in women’s football besides the Brazilian Championship: the Paulista Championship and the Conmebol Libertadores. In the state tournament, the Brabas sit in second place with seven points in four rounds. The international competition, meanwhile, will be held from October 15 to 31 in Ecuador. Alvinegro is the tournament’s most successful club in the category, with six titles — 2017, 2019, 2021, 2023, 2024 and 2025.
