Corinthians look to end bad run v Joinville in the National Futsal League | OneFootball

At the start of the evening this Saturday (28), at 6:30 p.m. (Brasília time), Corinthians will face Joinville at the Cau Hansen Convention Center, in Santa Catarina, in the opening round of the 2026 National Futsal League (LNF). Two-time champions of the tournament (2016 and 2022), the club from Parque São Jorge reached the final last year, but ended up as runners-up after losing to Jaraguá.

In tonight’s match, the club from Parque São Jorge will look to beat its rival for the first time in four seasons in the national competition. Corinthians’ last win over the team from Santa Catarina came on September 30, 2022. On that occasion, playing at Wlamir Marques Gymnasium, in the first leg of the tournament quarterfinals, at Parque São Jorge, Corinthians won 4-3, with goals from Kauã, Allan (twice), and Deives. As mentioned, Timão went on to win the title at the end of the championship that time.

Since then, the teams have faced each other four times in the competition, with three wins for the Santa Catarina side and one draw. In the second leg of the quarterfinals, on October 15, 2022, the two teams drew 1-1 and Corinthians advanced to the semifinals. In 2023, during the qualifying stage, Joinville went to Parque São Jorge and won 3-2, at Parque São Jorge.

On August 8, 2024, the two teams faced each other again and once more Joinville, in Santa Catarina, beat Alvinegro by a score of 3-2. Last year, also in the first stage of the national tournament, the team from the South region went to Parque São Jorge and once again won 3-2, extending its positive streak over Timão.

In addition to the LNF, Corinthians and Joinville also faced each other in the semifinals of the 2025 Supercopa Gramado, and this time Alvinegro won 4-3, with goals scored by Igor Carioca (twice), Deives, and Caio Barros.
