- By Fabio Luigi / Central do Timão Editorial
Corinthians hosted Wimpro Guarulhos, during the night of last Tuesday (30), at Ginásio Wlamir Marques, in a duel valid for the seventh match of the first phase of the 2026 Paulista Futsal Championship, and beat the opponent, without any fear, by the score of 5 x 1. Timão's goals were scored by Vinicius Paiva, Rick, Maicon, Fellype Bancatelli and Fabinho. With the positive result, Alvinegro reached the mark of 19 points, in second place - six wins and a draw, 25 goals scored and five conceded.
Off the court, the duel was attended by football manager Júlio César and executive Marcelo Paz. The latter was even presented by the futsal technical coordinator, Lorenzo Fontana, and Ricardo Sena, director of the land sports department, with a Corinthians Futsal shirt. In the post on social media, the club highlights the integration process between the modalities - check it out in full at the end of the article.

Marcelo Paz received a shirt with the number 11, in reference to the number he wore when he played in the futsal youth categories. It is worth remembering that, since the 25th, the Corinthians professional men's squad has resumed training at CT Dr. Joaquim Grava in order to continue the resumption of the calendar, which will have the second round of the Brazilian Championship, in addition to the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil and Conmebol Libertadores, where the opponents will be Internacional and Rosário Central-ARG, respectively.
After accumulating five finals in 2025, with two titles (Taça São Paulo and Torneo Internacional Mucho Más, in Spain) and three runners-up (Supercopa Gramado, Campeonato Paulista and Liga Nacional de Futsal), Corinthians is experiencing an unstable season in futsal. Despite the good campaign in the state, Timão is looking to get out of the bottom of the LNF table and was recently eliminated from the LNF Cup after being beaten 4 x 1 by São Lourenço.
This year, the futsal team underwent a considerable reformulation, due to the cost cuts in the department, generated by the club's serious financial crisis - with a debt of almost R$3 billion and has been using, for the most part, athletes from the club's youth categories - corresponding to almost half of the squad.
After beating Wimpro Guarulhos without difficulty, in the state championship, Corinthians resumes its focus on the National Futsal League. On July 4th, at 7:30 pm (Brasília time), Timão will face Umuarama, in Paraná, in the 11th round of the tournament. At the moment, Alvinegro occupies 12th place - out of 16 teams with eight points.

At yesterday's match, we received a visit from Marcelo Paz, executive director of football, and Júlio César, football manager, who closely followed another Corinthians Futsal commitment for the Campeonato Paulista, strengthening the integration between futsal and the Club's football.
On the occasion, Lorenzo Fontana and Ricardo Sena, representing futsal and Land Sports, presented Marcelo Paz with an official sport shirt, in a gesture that reinforces integration between departments and values the history of the sport within the Club.
The gift refers to the beginning of his career in the sport, when he played in the futsal youth categories wearing the number 11 shirt, celebrating this memory and reinforcing the partnership between the two modalities.
