Uberlândia will have the backing of a roaring stadium this Sunday (13) to confirm its 2-0 advantage over ASA and win the 2026 Série D title. The venue for the match, Parque do Sabiá, will welcome more than 38,000 fans for the second leg of the final, a crowd the Minas Gerais side has not seen at home for a long time.

In the title-deciding clash, scheduled to kick off at 5 p.m. (Brasília time), the Green Hurricane is in a strong position to lift the trophy in the 18th edition of the competition. Goals by João (own goal) and Jhonatan Lima in the first leg brought the team closer to glory. With a two-goal lead, Uberlândia will be champion with either a draw or even a one-goal defeat.

This year, the Minas Gerais club showed its quality from the group stage, where it qualified as the leader of Group A11. In the second round, it beat Rio Branco-ES 4-2 on aggregate (2-0 in Vitória and 2-2 in Uberlândia). The scenario was similar in the third round against Serra Branca-PB: a 1-0 win in Campina Grande and a 2-2 draw at home.

In the round of 16, the result of the first match secured a place in the quarterfinals. At Parque do Sabiá, Uberlândia beat Portuguesa-SP 2-0, and although the São Paulo side won 1-0 in São Paulo, it was eliminated. Then Uberlândia knocked out CSA with two victories: 1-0 in Uberlândia and 2-0 in Maceió.

To reach the final, Uberlândia got past the traditional ABC. At home, it won 1-0 and then held on for a goalless draw in Natal.
