In their first Women’s Libertadores, Verdão has had an impressive campaign, with 100% success so far (with 15 goals scored and only two conceded).
And a possible conquest of the continental competition would be the icing on the cake of the resumption of women’s football in Palmeiras, which began in 2019. Since then, the São Paulo team won the Copa Paulista twice (2019 and 2021) and was runner-up in the Brazilian (2021). ).
“We know the importance of competition. We have to do our best. We worked hard and prepared well. Now, we’re in the final and we’re going to do our best to win.”

On the other side of the field will be another unpublished finalist, Boca Juniors. The Gladiadoras, nickname by which the players of the Argentine team are known, reach the decision with a campaign of two draws and three victories, one of them 2-1 over the defending champion Corinthians in the quarterfinals.
The Argentine team’s main weapon in the decision is forward Yamila Rodríguez, top scorer of the last edition of the Copa América women’s soccer with six goals. In Libertadores, Boca’s number 11 is one of the top scorers of the Gladiators in the competition, with three goals.

Brazilian hegemony
If Palmeiras wins, Brazil will expand its hegemony in the women’s Libertadores, which is 10 titles. The most winning teams in the competition are Brazilian: Corinthians (2017, 2019 and 2021) and São José (2011, 2013 and 2014). Santos (2009 and 2010) and Ferroviária (2015 and 2020) have two each. On the other hand, Argentina seeks its first conquest in the women’s Libertadores.
