Neo Química Arena could stage the 2027 Women’s World Cup opener, while Corinthians trim costs and talks emerge over André’s economic rights.

According to Meu Timao, the São Paulo venue would need to satisfy specific FIFA requirements for the curtain-raiser to be held there.

With the transfer window now closed, Corinthians recorded 11 departures and will save R$ 1.5 million on the wage bill.

The club’s former academy director revealed negotiations regarding midfielder André’s economic rights, described as an alternative to the initial demands from his representatives.

Any hosting role would hinge on those FIFA criteria being met. Further details were not provided.
