A historic showdown awaits at the Emirates Stadium this Sunday as Corinthians and Arsenal face off in the inaugural Women’s Club World Cup final. The clash brings together the reigning Copa Libertadores Femenina champions and the Women’s Champions League winners in a battle for global supremacy.
The Road to the Final
Corinthians (The Brabas): The Brazilian giants secured their place in the final after a gritty 1-0 victory over NWSL side Gotham FC. A clinical goal from veteran Gabi Zanotti was enough to see them through, despite intense defensive pressure in the second half. This marks only their second competitive match of 2026, adding a challenge of match fitness for the South Americans.
Arsenal (The Gunners): Playing on home soil, Arsenal cruised through their semi-final with a dominant 6-0 thrashing of Morocco’s AS FAR. Manager Jonas Eidevall was able to rotate his squad, keeping key players fresh for the final. Being in the middle of the English domestic season, the Gunners hold a significant advantage in terms of rhythm and form.
