Normally, the teams that compete in the Taça Brasil are those that won their respective state championships in the previous season. In the tournament, the club from Parque São Jorge fielded mostly players from its Under-16 team, along with some of the key players from the Under-18 squad, who are in their first year in the category.

Throughout the Taça Brasil, Corinthians posted a 100% record. In the group stage, they beat Limoeiro from Ceará 3-0, AJJR Futsal from the Federal District 7-2, and also thrashed Goiorê from Paraná 5-1. In the semifinal, they comfortably defeated Craque 10 from Paraíba, winning 7-2. In the final, they beat Jaraguá 1-0.

Timão’s standout player in the competition was winger Arthur Azevedo who, in addition to scoring the goal in the final, found the net six other times and finished the tournament as the top scorer. It is worth remembering that, in 2023, Alvinegro had already won the Taça Brasil by beating Vasco da Gama 4-3 in a penalty shootout in the final.
