On Tuesday afternoon, 2nd, Corinthians announced the venue for the grand final of the Brazilian Women's Championship, which will be played on the 14th under the management of the Brabas. The club has chosen the Neo Química Arena for the match, which will decide the national championship title for this season. This will be the first time this season that the team will play in Itaquera.
The lack of women's team matches at Corinthians' main stadium has been drawing the attention of fans and enthusiasts of the sport. Since 2022, the club had been working to have the Brabas at the Neo Química Arena from the start of the season - in the last three years, the team's debut in Itaquera took place in February, always in matches for the Brazilian Supercup.

In addition, the total number of team games at the stadium has also been increasing: in 2021, only two women's games were played in Itaquera, a total that grew to six in 2022, dropped to five in 2023, and reached a record level of eight in 2024, including not only knockout matches but also three matches from the first phase of the Brasileirão.
In 2025, however, even though it has already hosted 15 matches, Corinthians has never played at the Neo Química Arena. In the Brazilian Supercup, the team played the semifinal at the 1º de Maio Stadium, in São Bernardo do Campo. In other tournaments, the team alternated the use of Parque São Jorge with places like José Liberatti Stadium, in Osasco, Mercado Livre Arena Pacaembu, and Canindé, mainly to circumvent the ban on night games at Fazendinha, imposed in May by FPF and still unresolved.
By December, Corinthians will have at least four more home matches - three for the first phase of the Paulista Championship and one for the Brazilian Cup. If they advance to the final of both tournaments and, in the second, are drawn as hosts in all subsequent phases, the Brabas can add at most five more home games, totaling nine. It is therefore unlikely that the number of Brabas games in Itaquera this season will approach the number reached last year.
