Uberlândia captured the 2026 Série D championship on Sunday with an impressive showing at home, as approximately 36,500 spectators filled Parque do Sabiá to witness the decisive second leg of the final. The home side’s victory was secured through a combination of results across both matches, with Uberlândia prevailing 2-0 in the opening encounter before settling for a 1-1 draw in front of their enthusiastic supporters.
The attendance figure continues a tradition of strong fan turnout at Série D championship deciders. Previous finals have consistently drawn crowds exceeding 40,000 supporters, with the 2025 final seeing 45,500 fans at Arena de Pernambuco in São Lourenço da Mata, and the 2019 final attracting comparable numbers at Arena da Amazônia in Manaus. These figures demonstrate the growing appeal of the fourth-tier competition and the passionate support it generates across Brazil.
Parque do Sabiá, located in Uberlândia, holds significant historical importance in Brazilian football. The venue, which opened in 1982 with Brazil’s 7-0 victory over Ireland, has hosted multiple matches involving the national team over its four decades of operation, establishing itself as a premier football destination in the interior of Minas Gerais.
