Made history: São Paulo announce Brazilian women's crowd record

The second leg of the Brazilian Women’s Championship final is making history even before the ball starts rolling. The derby between São Paulo and Corinthians, scheduled for Saturday afternoon (3) at Morumbi, has broken the attendance record for women’s club football matches in Brazil.

The Milestone and Historical Context

New Record: More than 44,530 tickets were sold in advance, with the number likely to rise until kickoff.
Previous Record: The record had belonged to Corinthians themselves since the 2024 final, when 44,529 fans watched the black-and-white side’s 2-0 win over São Paulo in Itaquera.

Home Fans Only: In compliance with a São Paulo Public Prosecutor’s Office (MP-SP) order in effect since 2016, Morumbi will host only São Paulo supporters.
Celebration in the Streets: The decisive-match atmosphere took over the area around the stadium hours before kickoff, with fans welcoming the squad’s arrival using drums and flags.

The Matchup Scenario

In the first leg played in Itaquera, São Paulo beat Corinthians 2-1. With the away win, the tricolor side only needs a draw to lift the trophy and end a national-title drought in the competition that has lasted since 1997.

After shutting down its women’s football department in 2000, São Paulo maintained occasional partnerships until relaunching the project on a permanent basis in 2019. Their best recent campaign had been the 2024 runner-up finish.
