Women’s Copinha: fixtures, squads and Corinthians’ top talents | OneFootball

This Thursday, Corinthians will make its debut in the third edition of the Women’s Copinha. The team's first match, as they seek their first title in the competition, will be against Criciúma, at 4:00 PM (Brasília time), at Ceret, in the Eastern Zone of São Paulo.

Corinthians’ Group

The draw, held at the beginning of October, placed Timão in Group A of the tournament, named “Pau-Brasil.” The group also includes Criciúma, Aliança-GO, and Flamengo, the 2023 champion.

In the first stage of the Copinha, the teams in each group play against each other in a single round-robin. The top team from each group, along with the three best third-placed teams, advance to the quarterfinals.

Players to Watch

Among the main highlights for Corinthians are midfielder Manu Olivan and right-back Rafa Rocha. Both have even been used in matches for the senior team.

History

Corinthians’ history in the Women’s Copinha is not among the most positive. In 2023, the team then led by Thaissan Passos didn’t even manage to reach the knockout stage. Last year, the Brabinhas, coached by Bia Vaz, were eliminated by Santos in the quarterfinals.
