Corinthians will decide the competition at home for having accumulated the highest number of points throughout the championship. Both matches, according to the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) calendar, are expected to take place during the week of September 7 and 14. The dates and times will be announced soon by the organization.

“It will be at Neo Química Arena. It's fundamental, this is my sixth final here, and in the finals where we didn't play the second leg at home, as the host, we lost. So, we didn't start the season well in the Brasileirão. We had a sequence of three games without a win that took us away from the lead, but within the group, at all times, the conversation was about recovering lost points and trying to close the gap to Cruzeiro, so that we could reach the knockout stage. And we knew that in the knockout stage we could indeed close the gap and regain that position,” he began.

Later, the coach commented on the team's recovery in the national competition, which allowed the Brabas to reach the final and have the chance to decide the title at Neo Química Arena: “It was a huge fight, a climb that we put ourselves through. If we had started the championship better, maybe we wouldn't have needed to chase so many points, but I'm very happy to have secured first place, which gives us the advantage of playing the second game, the decisive one, at home, in front of our fans. We know the party that Corinthians fans throw in finals like this, so there's a lot of anticipation for us to play this match at Neo Química,” he concluded.

Before taking the field for the final of the Brazilian Women's Championship, Corinthians will return to action this Thursday at 5:00 PM (Brasília time), to face RB Bragantino away, in a match for the eighth round of the Paulista Championship in the category. The match will take place at the Gabriel Marques da Silva Stadium, in Santana de Parnaíba.
