Estádio Alfredo Schürig (Parque São Jorge)
São Paulo, Brazil
Formerly: Fazendinha
Corinthians built the Fazendinha on a farm they bought outright in 1926 rather than renting a ground, which explains the address on Rua São Jorge and the working name that stuck long after the club adopted the formal one. Alfredo Schürig, one of the buyers alongside club president Ernesto Cassano and Wladimir de Toledo Piza, supplied the ironwork for the stands himself, and the ground carries his name in return; he later served as club president from 1930 to 1933. It opened on 22 July 1928 with a 2-2 friendly against América from Rio de Janeiro.
Its biggest day on the pitch had nothing to do with Corinthians' own fixtures: Brazil played matches here during the 1963 Pan American Games, including a 10-0 win over the United States, and Real Madrid came through for a friendly in 1965. Attendance for a Corinthians–Santos league match in November 1962 remains the reference point for how full the old bowl once got, well above what the ground holds today.
By the 1980s capacity had fallen below 14,000, part of why the club eventually built a new home elsewhere, and the Fazendinha was expanded in 1993 to reach its current scale. It no longer hosts Corinthians' first team, which moved on to the Neo Química Arena with its hybrid pitch, but the natural grass here has kept it in use for lower-tier and women's football — the women's state and national finals were played on it in 2018.
