Corinthians pick starters to face América-MEX in Teal Rising Cup 2026 | OneFootball

On Sunday evening, at 5 p.m. (Brasília time), Corinthians will face América-MEX at KCPC Stadium in the United States in the 2026 Teal Rising Cup third-place match. In the semifinal, held last Thursday night (9), the Brabas were beaten 2-1 by the Kansas City Current. This is Alvinegro’s second appearance in the competition, as the team finished as runner-up in 2025.

It is worth remembering that, for the match, the club from Parque São Jorge will be without goalkeeper Lelê, defenders Gi Fernandes and Thais Ferreira, midfielders Ana Vitória, Dayana Rodríguez and Duda Sampaio, as well as forwards Belén Aquino and Gisela Robledo – all away with their national teams during the FIFA international window: Brazil, Uruguay, Venezuela, Uruguay and Colombia.

Center-backs Agustina Barroso and Thaís Regina, as well as midfielder Juliana Passari, did not travel to the United States due to physical issues. Young forward Jhonson was not called up for the tournament by Emily Lima’s technical decision.

As a result, the Brabas are expected to start with: Rillary; Ivana Fuso, Duda Mineira, Letícia Teles and Tamires; Paola García, Andressa Alves and Letícia Monteiro; Jaqueline, Rhaizza and Gabi Zanotti. The bench options are: Nicole, Rafa Rocha, Erika, Juliete, Manu Olivan, Carol Nogueira, Vic Albuquerque and Ariel Godoi.

After taking part in the competition held in the United States, the club from Parque São Jorge will turn its attention back to the Brazilian Championship in the women’s game. Next Monday, the 20th, the Brabas will face Juventude at Homero Soldatelli Stadium at 9 p.m. in the seventh round of the first phase of the national tournament. They currently lead the competition with 13 points — four wins, one draw and one loss — with 17 goals scored and seven conceded.
