Current season

Sport Club Corinthians Paulista, commonly known as Corinthians, is a professional women's association football club based in São Paulo, Brazil. Founded in 1997, the team is affiliated with Federação Paulista de Futebol and play their home games at Estádio Parque São Jorge. The team colors, reflected in their logo and uniform, are white and black. They play in the top tier of women's football in Brazil, the Campeonato Brasileiro de Futebol Feminino, and in the Campeonato Paulista de Futebol Feminino, the first division of the traditional in-state competition.

History

First spell

In 1994 Corinthians co-opted a promotional futsal team of teenaged models run by the Flash Book modeling agency and featuring a 15-year-old Milene Domingues to be their club women's team.

The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) successfully encouraged Corinthians and its other leading clubs to form female teams after the national women's team's performance exceeded expectations at the 1996 Olympics. After an unassuming 11 years, Corinthians' women's team was scrapped ahead of the 2009 season. The unhappy players were threatening to sue the management, as the only player with a legitimate contract was Cristiane Rozeira, whose salary had been paid by a local hospital.

Corinthians/Audax era

In 2015 Corinthians decided to return to women's football and agreed a partnership with Grêmio Osasco Audax Esporte Clube, whose women's section had debuted in the 2015 Campeonato Paulista. The collaboration was confirmed in early 2016. A draft in February 2016 assigned Brazil women's national football team players Letícia and Rafinha to the combined Corinthians Audax team, who went on to win the 2016 Copa do Brasil de Futebol Feminino.

Corinthians Audax won the 2017 Copa Libertadores Femenina by beating Colo-Colo of Chile on a penalty shootout. Shortly thereafter Corinthians announced that they were withdrawing from the agreement with Audax and would enter the Campeonato Brasileiro de Futebol Feminino themselves. A change in CONMEBOL rules meant that from 2019 clubs wishing to participate in continental competitions had to run their own women's teams.

Second spell: the formation of a dynasty

The sole Corinthians team created a dynasty: extended their total of Copa Libertadores Femenina to five (2017, 2019, 2021, 2023, 2024), won six national championships in eight finals (2018, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024), four Campeonato Paulista (2019, 2020, 2021, 2023) and three Supercopa do Brasil Feminina (the inaugural in 2022 and the 2023 and 2024 editions).
