Palmeiras v Ferroviária: CBF picks home side for cup final | OneFootball

The city of Araraquara (SP) will be the stage for the final of the 11th edition of the Women’s Copa do Brasil. Ferroviária and Palmeiras will face each other on November 19 at the Fonte Luminosa stadium, in a single match that will determine the champion of the competition. The venue was decided by a draw held this Thursday at the headquarters of the CBF.

The final brings together two teams at different moments in national women’s football. Ferroviária, known as the Guerreiras Grenás (Maroon Warriors), is seeking its second championship in the tournament and is reaching its third final in the history of the competition. Meanwhile, Palmeiras is playing in the Women’s Copa do Brasil final for the first time and is aiming to break a drought in the competition, as the club has yet to win the title.

If the match ends in a draw in regular time, the winner will be decided by penalties.

Prize Money and Journey

By reaching the final, the teams have secured R$ 100,000 for qualifying. In addition, the champion will take home R$ 1 million, while the runner-up will receive R$ 500,000. Since Ferroviária and Palmeiras entered directly into the third phase due to their participation in the top tier of the Brasileirão, they have already accumulated R$ 320,000 over the course of the campaign — amounts added to previous prizes.

Competition Returns After Nine Years

The Women’s Copa do Brasil was held uninterruptedly between 2007 and 2016. After nine seasons away from the national calendar, it returned to action in 2025, once again involving clubs from all regions of the country. In the ten editions already completed, Santos and São José-SP are the most successful champions, with two titles each.

Palmeiras reaches the final in search of a historic first trophy, while Ferroviária aims to write another chapter in its strong history in Brazilian women’s football. The city of Araraquara promises a packed house to support the Guerreiras Grenás, but Verdão wants to surprise and win its first title.
