Corinthians celebrates its 116th anniversary on September 1.
There is no match scheduled on the birthday itself, but women’s soccer, basketball, futsal, youth, and men’s soccer fixtures take place before and after it.
The key to understanding this week is which team plays when and in which competition, rather than the anniversary itself.
3-line summary
1. Corinthians celebrates its 116th anniversary on September 1
2. There is no match scheduled on the birthday itself
3. The schedules for the various sports must be viewed separately
September 1 is the birthday, and it is scheduled as a match-free day
aniversário do corinthians, observed in the Brazilian search market, is a Portuguese search term referring to Corinthians’ founding anniversary. Here, Corinthians means Brazil’s sports club SC Corinthians Paulista. The fact that the observed search market is Brazil alone does not allow us to conclude that all of the matches below were held in Brazil. However, some match venues are specified in the schedule article.
According to Meu Timão’s report, Corinthians celebrates its 116th anniversary on September 1, and no official on-field fixture was scheduled for that day. This does not mean that every sport is taking the week off for the birthday. Rather, the competition schedules for each team are spread from the previous day through the following weekend, making the anniversary appear to function as a reference point linking several teams’ fixture lists.
If a Corinthians fan expected a men’s soccer match on the birthday itself, the schedule needs to be checked again. The men’s team is listed to face Chapecoense on September 6, while the women’s soccer and basketball teams play important matches earlier. It is difficult to treat the anniversary’s significance and the match results as the same event.
The women’s soccer team opens the quarterfinals against Cruzeiro
On August 31, Corinthians’ women’s soccer team, Brabas, is scheduled to play the first leg of the Brazilian women’s soccer league quarterfinals against Cruzeiro. The match time is 19:15, and the venue is Arena Independência in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais. The fact that the knockout stage begins the day before the founding anniversary is the clearest feature of this week.
An earlier Meu Timão article reported that Brabas had reached the women’s soccer league quarterfinals and would face Cruzeiro. At that time, the first leg was scheduled to be played at Cruzeiro’s home venue, but the article explained that the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) had not yet announced the details. The subsequent weekly schedule article included the date, time, and venue. Therefore, it is appropriate to read the quarterfinal matchup and first-leg schedule separately.
Corinthians’ women’s youth team, Bravinhas Under-17, also plays São José on September 6. The venue is Corinthians’ Fazendinha, and the competition was introduced as the São Paulo State Women’s Under-17 League. Even within “women’s soccer,” the senior team’s quarterfinal and the youth team’s regular-season fixture have different characteristics.
Basketball faces Pinheiros in the quarterfinals, and futsal is also on the schedule
The basketball team is scheduled to play Pinheiros in the first leg of the São Paulo State Basketball Tournament quarterfinals on September 3. The reported time is 19:30, and the venue is Esporte Clube Pinheiros’ Ginásio Henrique Villaboim. Then, on September 6, Corinthians hosts Pinheiros at the Wlamir Marques Gymnasium, and the article reported that this match could also conclude the quarterfinal series.
On September 4, the futsal team is scheduled to play Ferroviária Pinda in a São Paulo State Futsal Tournament match. On the same day, the men’s Under-20 soccer team prepares to face São Bento. Although they are grouped under one team name, basketball’s quarterfinal series, futsal’s state-tournament match, and Under-20 soccer’s age-group league are different competitions.
The men’s soccer team is scheduled to face Chapecoense after 3 consecutive losses
The senior men’s soccer team is scheduled to face Chapecoense at 19:30 on September 6. The venue is listed as Neo Química Arena. Meu Timão reported that Corinthians would enter the match with the task of bouncing back after 3 consecutive losses in the Brazilian national league. Chapecoense was introduced at the time as the bottom team in the league.
An earlier weekly article reported that Corinthians was 10th in the league ahead of its match against Santos and needed to recover after 2 consecutive losses. That information reflects the situation at the time of that article. What can be confirmed from the 116th-anniversary weekly article is that the match against Chapecoense was scheduled and that the report mentioned 3 consecutive losses. The result of this match or subsequent changes in the standings cannot be determined from the schedule provided.
This founding anniversary is best understood not simply as a one-day event, but as a week in which decisive matches and league games across several sports coincide. However, the match-free schedule on the birthday itself is clear. To follow Corinthians’ 116th anniversary, it is advisable to look beyond a single match and consider Brabas’ quarterfinal, the basketball quarterfinals, and the weekend men’s soccer schedule separately.
