Why Corinthians and Flamengo met

The Supercopa brings together the league champion and national cup winner. Flamengo came in as the 2025 league champion and Corinthians as the Copa do Brasil winner. The CBF said it planned to split the venue between the two supporter groups equally. Corinthians won 2-0. Source 2 Source 3

Attendance and commercial terms are separate measures

The CBF reports spectators in the historical series and describes the 2026 venue arrangements in a separate announcement. The series lacks ticket yields and realised gate receipts. It can establish relative match turnout across editions. Source 1 Source 2
