Key details
On April 13, 2026, Sport Club Corinthians Paulista inaugurated a dedicated High-Performance Academy for terrestrial sports at their Parque São Jorge complex. This new facility caters to professional and youth teams in basketball, futsal, boxing, volleyball, and handball, centralizing physical training to reduce athlete travel and boost daily performance efficiency.
Previously, physical training took place offsite, but the new academy, located near the Wlamir Marques gym changing rooms, brings all activities under one roof. The club fully financed the project and equipped the gym with RedFit machinery, enhancing training quality. This logistical advance addresses prior issues of shared space demand and travel times.
Corinthians' basketball team, a consistent playoff contender since the 2018/2019 season with multiple quarterfinal appearances, and the futsal team, which excelled last year by competing in five finals and winning key titles such as the Taça São Paulo and the Torneo Mucho Más in Spain, stand to benefit significantly from the upgraded infrastructure.
The inauguration underscores Corinthians’ strategic investment in terrestrial sports, providing a professional environment that fosters athlete development and supports the club's ambitions for continued success across its sports programs.
