What we will do in this experience
The Paulista Derby between Palmeiras and Corinthians is widely regarded as one of the biggest and most intense rivalries in South American football. Dating back to 1917, this historic fixture has become a symbol of São Paulo’s football culture, bringing together two of Brazil’s most successful clubs in a match defined by passion, tradition, and unforgettable atmospheres.
Unlike many rivalries played at neutral venues, the Paulista Derby is hosted at each club’s home stadium. When Corinthians are the home team, the match takes place at the Neo Química Arena, one of Brazil’s most modern football venues. When Palmeiras host the derby, the game is played at Allianz Parque, their iconic home and one of the country’s premier stadiums. Whichever venue hosts the match, you’ll experience one of the most electric atmospheres Brazilian football has to offer.
Your football weekend also includes a second live match featuring either São Paulo FC or Santos FC, depending on the official fixture calendar, giving you the opportunity to experience another iconic club and another unique supporter culture.
