Neo Química Arena voted São Paulo’s most loved stadium in public poll | OneFootball

Neo Química Arena has been voted São Paulo’s most loved stadium in a public poll, collecting 26.4% and 4,400 votes ahead of Nubank Parque and Morumbis.

According to Meu Timao, the vote formed part of the "lazer" category in Veja’s "Os Mais Amados de São Paulo", with full results to appear in a special Vejinha edition.

Corinthians have called the ground home since 10 May 2014, when it opened with a celebratory game between club idols. The first official match followed on 18 May, a 1-0 defeat to Figueirense.

Since then, the team have posted a 66.7% points return at the venue, across 421 games with 242 wins, 117 draws and 62 losses. They have scored 663 goals and conceded 322 over 12 years.

The stadium has been central to seven trophies, including Brasileirão titles in 2015 and 2017, four Paulistas in 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2025, and the Copa do Brasil in 2025.

Average attendance stands at 31,871, with more than 13.4 million matchgoers since inauguration.

The arena also hosts decisive fixtures for the Brabas, Corinthians’ women’s team, unbeaten there with 28 wins and three draws, scoring 80 and conceding 18.

Corinthians return on Sunday at 16:00, hosting Santos in the Campeonato Brasileiro. They come off a 1-0 home win over Rosario Central of Argentina in the Libertadores, a result that secured a quarter-final place.
