Uberlândia will have the backing of a buzzing stadium this Sunday (13) to confirm its 2-0 advantage over ASA and win the 2026 Série D title. The venue for the match, Parque do Sabiá, will welcome more than 38,000 fans for the second leg of the final, a crowd not seen at the Minas Gerais club’s home for a long time.
In the title-deciding clash, scheduled to kick off at 5 p.m. (Brasília time), the Green Hurricane is in a strong position to lift the trophy in the competition’s 18th edition. Goals by João (own goal) and Jhonatan Lima in the first leg brought the team closer to glory. With a two-goal lead, Uberlândia will be crowned champion with either a draw or a defeat by just one goal.
This year, the Minas Gerais side showed its quality from the group stage, when it advanced as the leader of Group A11. In the second round, it beat Rio Branco-ES 4-2 on aggregate (2-0 in Vitória and 2-2 in Uberlândia). The scenario was similar in the third round against Serra Branca-PB: a 1-0 win in Campina Grande and a 2-2 draw at home.

In the round of 16, the result of the first match secured a place in the quarterfinals. At Parque do Sabiá, it defeated Portuguesa-SP 2-0, and despite a 1-0 win in São Paulo, the São Paulo side was eliminated. Next, it knocked out CSA with two victories: 1-0 in Uberlândia and 2-0 in Maceió.
To reach the final, Uberlândia got past the traditional ABC. At home, it won 1-0 and, in Natal, held on for a goalless draw.
