Portuguesa to host 2026 Paulistão matches at Canindé | OneFootball

Portuguesa will use the Canindé Stadium to host its games for the 2026 edition of the Campeonato Paulista. The decision was announced by football coordinator Marco Antônio this Thursday, during the presentation of coach Fábio Matias.

“Due to bureaucratic issues (involving the start of construction on the New Canindé) and because the Paulistão will start earlier, with fewer dates and likely only four home games in the first phase, we will play at Canindé. This has already been decided for the Campeonato Paulista,” he explained.

The measure was celebrated by the newly arrived Fábio Matias. “For the Paulistão, the ideal is to have a top-quality pitch, and Canindé is able to offer us a high-level field,” said the coach, who was introduced at the training center in Parque Ecológico.

Focus on the Paulistão

The Portuguesa squad will report on October 8th to begin their preparations for the 2026 Campeonato Paulista. With the changes to the calendar announced by the CBF, the state tournaments are expected to take place between January 11 and March 15.
