With the support of their fans, Palmeiras faces Corinthians in the Women's Supercup final at 4:00 PM (Brasília time) this Saturday (7th), at Arena Barueri, in the city of Barueri (SP). In the classic known as the Derby Paulista, the Alviverde will be seeking their first title in the tournament that officially opens the Brazilian women's football calendar.

Hosting the match after being selected by draw, the Palestrinas are in pre-season. Amid a series of training sessions, physical evaluations, and preparations, they played two friendly matches, against São Paulo and Red Bull Bragantino, and will have their first official commitment of the year in a trophy-deciding duel. Corinthians, meanwhile, participated in the Women's Champions Cup in England between the end of January and the beginning of February.

Under the leadership of coach Rosana Augusto, the Alviverde secured a spot in the 2026 Women's Supercup, the first in the new format adopted by the CBF, after winning the 2025 Women's Copa do Brasil. In their campaign, they eliminated Avaí Kindermann, América-MG, Sport, São Paulo, and in the final, Ferroviária.

Among the highlights of Palmeiras' strong squad is forward Bia Zaneratto, known as the Empress. She returned to the club this season and is the second top scorer in the history of the women's team, with 55 goals in 83 matches, behind only Amanda Gutierres, who has 74 goals in 103 games.
