The Majestoso is the only Brazilian derby that has taken place in finals at state, interstate, national and international level competitions alike; individually, it is the only Brazilian derby to have taken place at Recopa Sudamericana (in 2013). It is also the state-rivalry with most supporters involved in Brazil, as Corinthians and São Paulo have the second and third largest fanbases of Brazil, respectively. Alongside Santos and Palmeiras, Corinthians and São Paulo are two of São Paulo's four major football teams.

Stadiums

edit
  • In the beginning, Corinthians played its games at Estádio Alfredo Schürig, and São Paulo at Estádio da Floresta, and later at the Pacaembu, which eventually became home of the clássico. From the 1970s on, the Morumbi became the new home for the derby, at the request of Tricolor Paulista.
  • Since the opening of Corinthians' new stadium, Arena Corinthians, the team has played its home games there.
