Palmeiras and Corinthians face off for another Paulista women’s title | OneFootball

Palmeiras and Corinthians star in yet another chapter of the Paulista derby, this time with the Paulistão Feminino trophy on the line. Since 2021, this will be the fourth final between the teams. During this period, the São Paulo rivals have faced each other in the 2021 Brasileirão final, the 2023 Libertadores, and the State Championship itself in 2024.

“This first game of the final will be my 10th derby and the second will be my 11th. And I remember exactly how I felt in all of them—the victories, the defeats, the draws. Each one is memorable because it’s such a big game, a game you prepare for a lot. So, to experience this final again means I get to relive this moment, and maybe with a different story this time, right? I believe this final will be decided by small details,” said Lucas Piccinato, Corinthians’ coach since 2024, after Arthur Elias left for the Brazilian women’s national team.

Since 2020, the clubs have played 28 derbies, with 16 wins for Corinthians and six for Palmeiras. Their last encounter was in the 12th round of the Paulistão Feminino, on November 11, which ended in a goalless draw.

“A derby is always a derby. It’s the biggest classic in São Paulo. This is the second consecutive year of Palmeiras and Corinthians in the final, and that will certainly push other teams to have a more structured approach so we can have different finals each time. I always expect Palmeiras in the final, and instead of Corinthians, maybe we’ll start seeing other opponents, right?” joked Rosana Augusto, Palmeiras’ coach since October and already champion of the 2025 Copa Brasil.

Paulistão Feminino Schedule

The first leg between Palmeiras and Corinthians is scheduled for the 7th, at Arena Barueri, at 11 a.m. (Brasília time). The second leg will take place on the 14th, at 10 a.m., but the venue has not yet been decided.
