Women’s Copinha to be shown on TV Gazeta, check the details | OneFootball

The third edition of the Copa São Paulo de Futebol Feminino will be broadcast by TV Gazeta. The announcement was made by the Paulista Football Federation (FPF) at an event held on Tuesday night at the Mercado Livre Arena Pacaembu, in São Paulo.

TV Gazeta will broadcast a total of 10 games of the competition. The women's Copinha will start on the upcoming December 3rd (Wednesday). The grand final, in turn, is scheduled for December 20th (Saturday), at the Mercado Livre Arena Pacaembu.

“It is a huge joy. It was a great surprise, a mid-year gift for São Paulo football and for women's football. We are discussing other projects to walk together in São Paulo football. We are very happy, it's very good news. An honor and a pride,” said Reinaldo Carneiro Bastos, president of the FPF, about the agreement with TV Gazeta.

“It is important to put a foot back in sports. We were born with the DNA of sports and we still have this DNA. We cannot forget it. We forgot a little about returning to our origins, returning to innovation, looking where no one is looking. While everyone is fighting over who gets the best piece of the men's football pie, we are looking at who is coming, which is our mission. We have this flexibility, we can. We are bringing this so that it is just the beginning of a great journey,” said Juliana Algañaraz, general superintendent of TV Gazeta.

The broadcaster continues to reclaim its space in football game broadcasts. Last Sunday, Gazeta broadcast live the first game of the Copa Paulista final, between Primavera and XV de Piracicaba. The big decision, at the Estádio Barão de Serra Negra, will be shown this Saturday, with pre-game starting at 5 PM (Brasília time).

Behind the Scenes

Juliana Algañaraz also shared behind-the-scenes details of how the TV Gazeta negotiations with the FPF and the federation president, Reinaldo Carneiro Bastos, took place. Both the negotiations for broadcasting the Copa Paulista finals and the women's Copinha were concluded smoothly, according to the general superintendent of the broadcaster.

“Reinaldo [Carneiro Bastos, president of the FPF] is truly an incredible professional. The negotiations were very smooth. When you negotiate with professionals, the game is for grown-ups and things go very easily, super well. Our new relationship with the federation, it's not that it didn't exist in the past, but it's a new moment with the Federation. It has been very pleasant, incredible. We understand that it will be very long-lasting and very fruitful,” stated Juliana.

Next Steps

The focus of TV Gazeta, at the moment, will be on women's football broadcasts. The evolution of this market has been notable in recent years, with the sport consolidating in Brazilian territory. The 2027 Women's World Cup will be held in Brazil, and the broadcaster intends to be a protagonist in the tournament's coverage.

“Our focus is on women's football for now because it is a great opportunity. When I see a Netflix buying the Women's World Cup to broadcast live, it tells me that someone is really looking. The women's football market is very large, it's very important. We know the strength that the United States has in setting trends and making things relevant. And in Brazil [women's football] also continues to grow. Five years ago, the games were empty, the players needed a lot of strength, they didn't have sponsors. Not that they still don't need people behind them believing in them. I think television is a super important window for you to promote things and we have this mission,” concluded Juliana Algañaraz.
