By Fabio Luigi / Central do Timão Editorial Team

Corinthians faced Deportivo Cali last Saturday afternoon, October 18, at Francisco Sola Stadium in Buenos Aires, for the final of the Conmebol Libertadores Feminina, and won the tournament for the sixth time (2017, 2019, 2021, 2023, 2024, and 2025) by winning 6-5 on penalties after a goalless draw in regular time.

The victory was special for some of the Brabas players who had not yet won or even competed in the Women's Libertadores in their careers, such as defenders Letícia Teles and Thais Regina, right-back Gi Fernandes, and forwards Ariel Godoi, Ivana Fuso, and Ariel Godoi.

On the other hand, some players won the tournament for the first time with Corinthians but had already competed in the same competition for another club: defender Thais Ferreira (had played the Libertadores with Palmeiras), midfielder Dayana Rodríguez (played for Venezuelan teams), and attacking midfielder Letícia Monteiro (had played in the tournament with Internacional).

In an interview with the press upon the team's arrival in Brazil, forward Ivana Fuso – who was signed in the middle of this season – spoke about her first title with Corinthians and projected the Paulista Championship when asked about the Club World Cup, which will take place early next year.

“I have few words to say, it's a unique feeling, qualifying for the World Cup is something very special, it's also very unique. I'm very happy, having now won two titles, now with Corinthians. The focus is still on the Paulista, because we still have to win the Paulista. And that was my wish, to win three titles with Corinthians this year. And for next year, the focus will be on the World Cup, with other things, but really now the focus is entirely on the Paulista and also to see the things we did in the Libertadores to improve, to seek to be better on the field and that's it,” she began.

She then talked about the presence of the Corinthians fans in Argentina and a possible match against Arsenal, from England, in the Club World Cup. Alessia Russo, who was her teammate when she played at Manchester United, plays for the London team.

“It was very good to have some of our fans there because their fans, from the other teams, were also very loud there. So, it bothers you when you don't have your fans there, but the girls really stayed very calm, they didn't let it influence us, but even so, you could hear our fans because they shouted a lot and it was very cool. And in the end, celebrating with the fans is the best feeling.”

“Of course, I know Alessia Russo, who is there, a teammate of mine from Manchester United, not yet. I think they don't even know yet because we qualified. But soon she will know if I'm going to London. So I'm very excited about that. “Not yet, not yet. I think, as I said before. The focus is, first the Paulista and then other things come, and maybe still review Libertadores games, because we still have to improve many things, in my opinion. But we are on the right path, I think, we are doing well, but it can always be better, so I think that's what we are looking for, and then we will prepare for the World Cup”, she concluded.

The Brabas now received a week off after winning another title and will return to the field only on November 1st, at 11 am (Brasília time), to face São Paulo, at Fazendinha, in the Majestic classic for the 11th round of the Paulista Feminino, in which they are already qualified for the semifinals.
