The Brazilian team secured their direct spot in the semifinal due to their continental victory. On the other side of the bracket, Arsenal, the UEFA Champions League winner, awaits the definition of their opponent. The tournament, organized by FIFA, will bring together six champions from different confederations in a streamlined format to crown the best women's football club in the world.

Path to the Final

Before the decisive phase in England, the tournament includes a qualifying stage in Morocco. Wuhan Jiangda from China, who already eliminated Auckland United from New Zealand, will compete with AS FAR, the 2025 African champion, for the spot to face Arsenal in the other semifinal. The Chinese victory over the New Zealanders was by a score of 1-0.

Focus on the State Championship

Before the Club World Cup, Corinthians will have a tough mission to seek the title of the Women's Paulistão. This Sunday, Timão will try to overturn the defeat suffered in the first leg against Palmeiras by 5 to 1.

“We started losing the Supercup, looking for a turnaround in the season and came out with two important titles, the Brazilian and Libertadores. Now, the expectation is that we can play a better game in the return leg and try what many people think is impossible, which is to win this Paulista title,” said Corinthians coach Lucas Piccinato.
