São Paulo continued its 'mini pre-season' sequence at the start of the year, beginning with activities at the CFA in Cotia (click to learn more), and opened Monday (5th) with the first training session of the day in the morning.

The Tricolor inaugurated the debut week in the Paulista Championship, where they will face Mirassol this Sunday (11th) at 8:30 PM (Brasília time), at the Municipal Stadium José Maria de Campos Maia, the Maião, for the opening round of the state championship.

The activities in Cotia started with muscle strengthening exercises on the field, led by the physical trainers.

Right after this work, the athletes continued with the adjustments of this pre-season and were divided into four teams for a confrontation training in a reduced space: while two teams faced off, the other two performed intermittent running with physical preparation.

Some players still recovering physically after injuries in 2025, midfielder Luan and forwards André Silva and Ryan advanced in their recovery processes.

André Silva had images released already working with the ball, still without contact with his teammates. The latest information from the club indicated that he and his two teammates were only running on the field with individualized work.

2ND HALF OF ACTIVITIES

With tactical work and set-piece practice in the afternoon, the Tricolor concluded another day of pre-season focusing on the Paulistão debut.

After the warm-up, to complement the activities developed in the morning, coach Hernán Crespo and his technical staff made adjustments to the team.

This Tuesday (6th), the Tricolor squad will conduct the last training session at São Paulo's youth academy before resuming preparation at the Barra Funda training center next Wednesday (7th).
