Neo Química Arena at 12: Corinthians’ titles and the Brabas’ unbeaten run | OneFootball

Neo Química Arena marks 12 years as Corinthians’ home, a stadium that has yielded five men’s trophies and an unbeaten Brabas record.

Meu Timao reports that it opened on 10 May 2014 with a gala match of more than 100 former players, then officially debuted on 18 May in a 1-0 loss to Figueirense. Initially Arena Corinthians, it was renamed on 1 September 2020 as the club sold naming rights on its 110th anniversary.

The men’s team have played 412 games there, winning 236, drawing 116 and losing 60. Goals stand at 651 for and 315 against, averaging 2.34 per game.

Corinthians sealed the 2015 Brasileiro with a 6-1 against São Paulo, then won the 2017 Brasileiro 3-1 against Fluminense. They took the 2017 Paulista after a 1-1 with Ponte Preta to win 4-1 on aggregate, the 2019 Paulistão by beating São Paulo 2-1, and the 2025 Paulista after a 0-0 with Palmeiras to win 1-0 on aggregate, ending a six-year drought.

The Brabas are unbeaten in 31 games, with 28 wins and three draws. They have scored 80 and conceded 18, averaging more than three per game, and have won all 11 finals there, including five Brasileiros, three Supercopas and three Paulistas.

The arena staged the 2014 World Cup opener and six matches, including Netherlands v Argentina in the semi-final with a record 63,267 crowd. It hosted Olympic football in 2016, NFL games in 2024 and 2025, and has been chosen as a 2027 Women’s World Cup venue.
