MorumBIS Hosts the Decisive Majestoso with Record Attendance Aspiration
The second leg of the national championship final brings the classic rivalry to the MorumBIS stadium in São Paulo. According to reporting from thefootball.com.br, ticket sales for the match surpassed 30,000 days before kickoff. Meanwhile, uol.com.br noted that São Paulo is actively targeting the all-time club women’s football attendance record in Brazil, a benchmark previously set at 44,529 spectators during the 2024 tournament finals.
The stadium gates open ahead of the 16:30 Brasília time start. The fixture represents the culmination of a domestic calendar governed by the Confederação Brasileira de Futebol (CBF). The winner of the two-legged tie collects a R$ 2 million prize purse, while the runner-up receives R$ 1 million.
Tactical Advantage and Roster Adjustments for Tricolor and Timão
São Paulo enters the Saturday clash with positive momentum after securing a 2–1 comeback victory in the opening leg at the Neo Química Arena on September 26. Isa Guimarães sealed the win in the second half, handing Corinthians its first-ever defeat at its home arena in women’s competition.
For the return leg, São Paulo head coach Thiago Viana is expected to maintain his tactical base, relying on a defensive unit anchored by experienced central defender Tayla and counter-attacking speed from forwards like Isa Guimarães. On the visiting side, Corinthians coach Emily Lima welcomes back central defender Thaís Regina from suspension, though fellow defender Érika remains sidelined due to left knee discomfort. Corinthians arrives boasting the competition’s most productive attack with 43 goals, but must overcome a first-leg deficit without key midfielder Gabi Zanotti operating under ideal conditions; Zanotti publicly acknowledged that delayed salary payments created friction within the squad during the buildup to the finals.
