São Paulo banking on ‘cauldron’ effect with home matches at Canindé | OneFootball

São Paulo is expected to use Canindé more frequently throughout the season and is betting on the "cauldron" effect to strengthen its home advantage. The decision comes amid the unavailability of Morumbi, which will undergo a turf replacement after the concerts held at the stadium.

Easy access was one of the main points considered. Located in the capital, the stadium offers various public and private transportation options, which can boost fan attendance and create a more pressuring environment for opponents.

The tricolor management conducted a detailed evaluation before deciding on the new temporary home. The Brinco de Ouro da Princesa Stadium in Campinas was considered as an alternative, but Portuguesa's home had the advantage in criteria such as structural conditions, location, capacity, costs, and logistics for fans.

Financially, the choice also proved more viable than playing in the state's interior, balancing operational expenses and revenue potential.

To validate the decision, sports manager Rafinha and director Rui Costa conducted a technical visit to Canindé, checking the pitch, locker rooms, and other facilities.
