The information was first reported by the Meu Timão portal.

In Tuesday’s match in Cotia, midfielder Gabi Zanotti, who did not take the field, posted a photo watching the game from the stands at CT de Cotia.

It is worth noting that the following players were unavailable for the friendly: goalkeeper Lelê, center-back Thaís Ferreira, midfielders Dayana Rodríguez, as well as forwards Belén Aquino and Gisela Robledo. They were called up to represent Brazil, Venezuela, Uruguay, and Colombia in FIFA international window friendlies and the CONMEBOL Nations League, respectively.

Corinthians had already faced a youth national team in 2018, when, under Arthur Elias, they defeated Cameroon’s Under-17 team 5-1. On that occasion, the goals were scored by Gabi Zanotti, Ana Vitória, Diany, Millene, and Marcela.

The Brabas will only return to official action in the week of July 17, at Fazendinha, to face Ferroviária in the fourth round of the 2026 Paulista Women’s Championship qualifying stage. In the first three rounds, Timão earned four points.
