Corinthians to face intense schedule after World Cup return

Corinthians is preparing for a demanding schedule as the club returns to action following the World Cup break. The team, led by coach Dorival Junior, will play a friendly match against Cascavel on July 12 to regain match fitness before the official season resumes.

Currently sitting in 10th place in the Brasileirão with 24 points, the squad faces a grueling run of fixtures across three different competitions: the domestic league, the Copa do Brasil, and the Copa Libertadores.

In the Copa do Brasil, Corinthians is set to face Internacional in the Round of 16. On the international stage, they will square off against Rosario Central in the next phase of the Copa Libertadores after successfully topping their group in the initial stage.

Starting July 23, the club begins a sequence of high-stakes matches against opponents including Remo, Bahia, and Athletico-PR in the league, while balancing the pressure of their cup knockout ties.
