Corinthians Squad and Club Profile

Corinthians

Founded in São Paulo in 1910, Corinthians is one of Brazil’s most recognisable football institutions, defined by black-and-white identity, a broad popular following and a strong connection with the city’s eastern zone. The club’s home is Neo Química Arena in Itaquera, a modern landmark that hosted the opening match of the 2014 FIFA World Cup. Its story combines working-class origins, ambitious sporting growth and a distinctive social tradition that continues to shape the Corinthians name.

Last Corinthians Coachs

Dorival Júnior is recorded as Corinthians’ current head coach, with his appointment beginning on 1 April 2025. The coaching timeline also records Orlando Ribeiro for that same date, with his appointment ending on the day it began. Earlier records place R. Díaz in charge from July 2024 until April 2025, following António Oliveira’s February-to-July 2024 spell. Raphael Laruccia appears in a one-day July 2024 appointment. The coaching history therefore shows a period of change before Dorival Júnior’s ongoing appointment.

Transfers Synthesis

Taken together, the recent movement pattern points to a squad cycle built around temporary arrangements and player returns, with free-agent recruitment also prominent. On the incoming side, the recorded activity includes returns from loan, loans from Brazilian and overseas clubs, and free-agent arrivals such as J. Lingard, Z. Labyad and Gabriel Paulista. Departures show the other side of that cycle: Kaio César returned to Al-Hilal Saudi FC, while several players moved temporarily to new clubs, and others left through transfers or free agency. Some movements are closely linked, including loan returns followed by a new destination, which illustrates how player registration can change quickly across successive windows. The names and dates indicate activity from January through June 2026 alongside earlier 2025 movements. This recent list is a selected movement picture rather than a complete account of every change, so it does not establish overall volume, spending or net balance.

Leagues Corinthians has participated in

Corinthians’ recorded competition footprint spans Brazil’s Serie A, the Paulista A1 and the Copa do Brasil, alongside the CONMEBOL Libertadores and CONMEBOL Sudamericana. Serie A has the longest recorded run, from 2010 through 2025. Copa do Brasil is recorded from 2016 to 2025, while Paulista A1 appears from 2020 to 2025. The Libertadores record runs from 2020 to 2025, and the Sudamericana record from 2019 to 2025. These competitions define the club’s recent domestic and continental footprint, with participation records reaching 2025 rather than confirming results, titles or a specific 2026 campaign.

More about Corinthians

Sport Club Corinthians Paulista, commonly known as Corinthians, was founded in São Paulo in 1910 and remains one of Brazil’s defining football institutions. Its black-and-white identity is closely associated with a broad popular following and with the eastern side of the city, where Neo Química Arena stands in Itaquera. The stadium, also known historically as Arena Corinthians and popularly as Itaquerão, hosted the opening match of the 2014 FIFA World Cup.

The club’s origins are linked to railway workers who took inspiration from the English amateur touring side Corinthian F.C. That beginning helped shape a powerful working-class identity, later expressed through the enduring idea of Corinthians as The People’s Team. The club’s history is also connected to Democracia Corintiana, the influential social and sporting movement of the early 1980s. These traditions give Corinthians an importance that extends beyond match results, linking football, civic identity and supporter culture.

Corinthians operates as a traditional social-athletic and recreational club, with governance rooted in a democratic presidential and associational model. Member voting rights and the role of members are central to that structure, distinguishing the institution from a purely commercial football operation. Its culture is reinforced by the Fiel Torcida, whose passionate support is a defining part of the match-day environment.

On the field, the club’s recorded ecosystem includes Brazil’s Serie A and Paulista A1, the Copa do Brasil, and the CONMEBOL Libertadores and Sudamericana. Its badge combines a shield carrying the São Paulo state flag with an anchor and two oars, reflecting early sporting links beyond football. Traditional kits use a white home shirt with black shorts and white socks, while black-and-white striping is associated with away designs. Together, the venue, governance, symbols and supporter culture form a distinctive Corinthians profile within Brazilian football.
