MIAMI – Reigning Concacaf W Champions Cup winners Gotham FC kick off its participation in the inaugural FIFA Women’s Champions Cup against CONMEBOL’s Copa Libertadores Femenina champions SC Corinthians in the Semifinals on Wednesday at Brentford Stadium in Brentford, England. 

This meeting will be the first Semifinal in FIFA Women’s Champions Cup history and mark the first time the women’s club champions of Concacaf and CONMEBOL face off.  

Gotham FC will take to the international stage once more after crowning itself as the inaugural Concacaf Women’s Champions Cup winners in the 2024/25 edition.  

The U.S. club is also coming off its second NWSL championship conquest during the 2025 season, earning its second league title, and is among the final four teams remaining in the 2025/26 Concacaf W Champions Cup.

The Bats count on plenty of players with international experience, with U.S. women’s national team standouts Rose Lavelle, Emily Sonnett and Jaedyn Shaw among their ranks. Spanish international Esther González will also take the field looking to find the back of the net and add another piece of silverware for Gotham FC.

SC Corinthians won the Copa Libertadores Femenina for the sixth time in its history. One of the key players for the Brazilian side will be goalkeeper Nicole Ramos, who was decisive in the penalty shootout for the team to win its third Libertadores consecutive title. Brazilian legend Tamires, who has represented her club and country in many international tournaments, also adds experience to the Corinthians backline.
