History
First spell
In 1994, Corinthians co-opted a promotional futsal team of teenaged models, captained by a 15-year-old Milene Domingues.[2]
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.[3] 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.[4]
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[5] to the combined Corinthians Audax team, who went on to win the 2016 Copa do Brasil de Futebol Feminino.[6]
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.[7]
Second spell: the formation of a dynasty
The sole Corinthians team created a dynasty: extended their total of Copa Libertadores Femenina to six (2017, 2019, 2021, 2023, 2024 and 2025), won seven national championships in eight finals (2018, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025), four Campeonato Paulista (2019, 2020, 2021, 2023) and three Supercopa do Brasil Feminina (the inaugural in 2022 and the 2023 and 2024 editions).
