Double Objective: Title and Spot in the Club World Championship

Besides the ambition to win the South American championship for the fifth time, Osasco aims for a spot in the 2026 Club World Championship. Qualification for the tournament is guaranteed for the top two finishers in the continental championship hosted in Peru. Reaching the final, scheduled for Sunday, represents half of the path outlined by the technical committee led by coach Luizomar.

“The South American is a very important competition, not only for the hegemony among South American countries but also for the spot in the World Championship. We had the opportunity to play the biggest championship on the planet last year in São Paulo, and we secured third place. And we want more. For that, we will go all out in pursuit of the spot in the final and, hopefully, the highest place on the podium,” declared libero and captain Camila Brait.

Victorious History and Path in the 2026 Edition

Osasco already carries in its history four South American Championship titles, won in 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2012. In the 2026 edition, under the command of Luizomar, the team is in Group B.

After the debut against Olympic, Osasco returns to the court on Thursday at 9:30 PM to face Boston College from Chile. The expectation is that the team will advance to the semifinals on Saturday, with the grand final taking place on Sunday.

Competition Format and Brazilian Participation

The South American Women's Club Championship brings together a total of nine teams, distributed in three groups. According to the regulations, the first-place teams from each group, along with the best overall second-place team, secure spots in the semifinals.

Brazil has two representatives in the competition: Osasco São Cristóvão Saúde and Sesi Bauru.
