Palmeiras

Palmeiras has won the Copa Libertadores three times, in 1999, 2020, and 2021. The back-to-back titles in 2020 and 2021 were achieved under Portuguese manager Abel Ferreira, making Palmeiras one of the few Brazilian clubs to win consecutive Libertadores titles. The 1999 title was won under the management of Luiz Felipe Scolari.

The rivalry between Palmeiras and Corinthians, known as the 'Paulista Derby' (Derby Paulista), is one of the most intense and historic football rivalries in Brazil. It originated in the early 20th century when Palmeiras was founded as Palestra Italia by Italian immigrants in 1914, creating a class and ethnic divide with Corinthians. The derby regularly draws over 40,000 fans and has produced some of the most memorable matches in Brazilian football history.

Palmeiras plays its home matches at Allianz Parque (formerly Arena Palestra Italia), a modern stadium in the Pacaembu neighborhood of São Paulo with a capacity of approximately 43,000. The stadium was inaugurated in 2014 and replaced the older Palestra Italia stadium. Allianz Parque features a transparent roof and modern amenities, making it one of the most technologically advanced stadiums in Brazil.

Palmeiras reached the FIFA Club World Cup final in 2021 after winning the 2021 Copa Libertadores, but lost 2-1 to Chelsea FC in the final after extra time. Palmeiras also participated in the 2020 Club World Cup (held in February 2021) following their 2020 Libertadores title but were eliminated in the semifinals. The club has never won the tournament in its current format.
