Vingadoras learn their Copa São Paulo Feminina Under-20 group | OneFootball

The Vingadoras already know their opponents in the first stage of the 2026 São Paulo Women’s Junior Football Cup. Back in the competition after two seasons away, Atlético is in Group B, alongside Corinthians, RB Bragantino, and Ação-MT.

The competition will be held between November 24 and December 12, in São Paulo. Nicolau Alayon Stadium will host Galo’s first matches in the tournament.

This will be the fourth edition of the São Paulo Women’s Junior Football Cup, a competition organized by the Paulista Football Federation (FPF). The federation’s resolution sets the tournament period and states that possible date changes may occur according to the interests of the broadcast rights holders and security criteria.

Preparation time

For the U-20 head coach, Leandro Formigoni, the longer preparation period leading up to the Copinha will be important for the team’s development. The coach highlights that the players have been adapting well to the playing model and that the squad has also received reinforcements.

Formigoni also emphasizes the work being done to strengthen Atlético’s identity within the team, with traits such as fight and competitiveness. Facing a group he considers balanced, the coach expects a team prepared to fight for qualification.

Competition criteria

According to the FPF resolution, players born in 2006, 2007, 2008, and 2009 will be eligible to play, in addition to up to four players born in 2010 and 2011 per match. The players must be previously registered by the club, with their registration published in the CBF BID by October 28, 2026.

Each club may list up to 30 players for the competition, with registration scheduled until November 4. The resolution also states that there will be no replacement of registered players.

The FPF states that venue changes and the designation of match locations may be made by the Competitions Department, according to technical or safety criteria. The resolution itself also notes that the document sets the competition criteria, but does not in itself constitute the right to participate, with clubs remaining subject to official communication from the Federation.
