São Paulo Needs Morumbi and Dorival Júnior

São Paulo is counting on the help of Morumbi and Dorival Júnior to move forward in the Copa Sul-Americana. After a narrow loss of 1 to 0 to Boca Juniors at the Bombonera, the Tricolor needs to win at home to take the tie to the penalty shootout. Or, who knows, if they can build a two-goal advantage, move on directly in the competition.

Dorival’s Record

The fans’ hope is centered on the coach’s track record at our stadium, which has been a true ally since he arrived at the club. Let’s take a look at the numbers:

• In 14 matches under Dorival, there were:
  • 4 wins
  • 5 draws
  • 5 losses

And the best part? All of these victories happened at Morumbi!

A New Lease on Life in Brasileirão

Recently, São Paulo has been breathing better in the Brasileirão, especially after a tough stretch in which it went ten games without a win. Now, it already has three straight home wins, against teams such as Boston River, Remo, Red Bull Bragantino, and Atlético-MG. Morumbi has become an important asset, especially considering that the team had reached a point three points above the relegation zone.

Impressive Numbers

When we look at the season, Morumbi’s stats are even more impressive. Since the Hernán Crespo era, São Paulo have played 16 home matches in 2026 and achieved:

• 11 wins
• 3 draws
• 2 losses

That gives them a win rate of 75%, the best since 2015!

Away Games

However, this result could have been even better! São Paulo had to play four times away from home due to the packed schedule of concerts at Morumbi. Stadiums like Canindé, Brinco de Ouro, and Nabi Abi Chedid hosted the team throughout the year, all because of the large number of shows that took place.

Expectations for the Next Match

Dorival made it clear that he wants to see Morumbi packed: “I hope we can have Morumbi fully taken over again and that we can put on a great performance, repaying our fans’ trust” – the coach said after the defeat in Argentina.

And that’s exactly what’s at stake! São Paulo and Boca Juniors face off at Morumbi, on Tuesday at 21h30 (Brasília time). It’s time for the fans to do their part and fill the stadium, so together they can help the team secure this victory! Let’s go all out, Tricolor!
