the local sports scene
São Paulo is the largest football city in the Americas, with four major clubs inside the metropolitan area and derbies that are among the most intense anywhere in the world.
The local sports scene
The scene
Corinthians are the club of the working city, with a support base built in the industrial districts and a stadium at Itaquera built for the 2014 World Cup. Palmeiras carry the Italian immigrant history of the city and have been the dominant Brazilian side of recent years at Allianz Parque. São Paulo FC at the Morumbi hold three Libertadores titles. Santos, along the coast, remain the club of Pelé and Neymar.
Rivalries that matter
The Derby Paulista between Corinthians and Palmeiras is one of the most hostile fixtures in world football. The Choque-Rei between São Paulo and Palmeiras and the Majestoso between Corinthians and São Paulo complete a set of derbies no other city can match for density.
Where to watch
Bar culture in São Paulo is inseparable from football — the botecos in Vila Madalena and Pinheiros fill hours before kick-off, and the neighbourhood bars around Itaquera and Barra Funda belong to their clubs entirely.
