On the afternoon of this Saturday (3rd), Corinthians makes its debut in the 2026 São Paulo Junior Football Cup facing Trindade, from Goiás, at Zezinho Magalhães Stadium, in Jaú. The match will take place at 2:45 PM (Brasília time). The Timãozinho, the biggest champion of the Copinha with 11 titles – the last one being in 2024, is in Group 8 with two other opponents: Luverdense (Mato Grosso) and XV de Jaú.
In the last edition of the Copinha, the Sons of Terrão, then led by Orlando Ribeiro, finished as runners-up after losing to São Paulo 3-2, in a comeback, at Pacaembu. Moreover, the Alvinegro seeks to overcome the skepticism generated after the tournament final, as they had a disappointing campaign in the Brasileirão Sub-20 and were eliminated in the round of 16 of the Paulista Championship of the category. Now, under the command of William Batista, the Sub-20 aims to regain good form and prominence.
