Starting this Thursday, the 7th of September finally to celebrate the Independence of Brazil without surprises or fascist speeches, the decision of the 11th Brazilian Women’s Football Championship.
At Fonte Luminosa, with capacity for 20 thousand fans and with one of the most beautiful stadium names in the country, taco for taco with the Golden Earring of the Princess, from Guarani de Campinas, Ferroviária and Corinthians will face each other at 4:20 pm.
Corinthian Brabas in search of the fifth championship and the fourth in a row, in their ninth participation in the tournament.
As Guerreiras Grenás in the fight for the third title in the 11th participation.
The return game is scheduled for Sunday (10), in Itaquera, at 4 pm.
The teams repeat the 2019 finals, when Ferroviária overturned the overwhelming favoritism of their rivals by drawing at home 1-1 and at Parque São Jorge 0-0 and winning from the penalty spot 4-2.
In the classification phase, the alvinegras had finished with 14 victories and only one defeat, in the very first place, 42 points, against 23 of the opponents, in seventh place.
So, Corinthians won the four games in the quarterfinals and semifinals and Ferroviária won one, lost another and drew both in the semifinals, always going ahead in the tiebreaker at the final mark.
This season, the balance is incomparably greater: Corinthians was once again first in the first phase, with 37 points, but only three ahead of Ferroviária, in third place.
Tamires and company won the final four games again and goalkeeper Luciana, 35, by taking two penalties, guaranteed the classification of the Araraqua team in the semifinals, after two victories in the quarterfinals and one victory and one defeat in the semifinals against São Paulo , frustrating the Majestic decision.
If women’s football is one of the few activities that are successful at the São Paulo club, Ferroviária’s success is also the result of work well done and with much more difficulty.
Ferroviária prevented the clash of giants, as Sesi Araraquara also frustrated Sampaio Corrêa’s fourth championship in the Women’s Basketball League by winning the final playoff 3-2, 74-62 in the fifth game, on the last day of August.
Something happens at Morada do Sol for such success in football and basketball for women — and the explanation lies in the mayor of the city, sociologist Edinho Silva, in his fourth term for the Workers’ Party.
Irony of fate, he did not want to change the city hall for the post of Minister of Sports and would not be a victim of the frying made by the Lula government when negotiating the position of Ana Moser, without a party, to hand over to the Progressive Party, which is progressive only in name cynical, by André Fufuca, in the country of the ready joke, although, in this case, without any humor.
Once again, sport is used as currency for unacceptable bargains and the dream of implementing a true Sports Policy, with capital P and E, will be left behind in Greek calends.
We will continue without looking at the democratization of access to sports, without thinking about physical activity as a factor in public health and education, producing talents through spontaneous generation, as has always happened.
Because never ever in this country has any president treated the sport as the sport deserves.
The mayor of Araraquara, on the contrary, treats.
And it’s not gossip. Not Fufuca.
