Information About

Copa Do Brasil





FORMAT

The tournament is played in two-legged knockout stages. In the first two rounds the away team automatically goes through to the next round if they beat the home team by 2 goals or more in the first leg.

The Away Goals Rule is used in the Copa do Brasil, which is a unique feature when compared to other South America n competitions. For example, the Libertadores Cup did not adopt this rule until 2005 .

The Copa do Brasil is an opportunity for teams from smaller states to play against the big teams and episodes of giant-killing have happened throughout the competition history.

The Copa do Brasil winner automatically qualifies for the next year's Libertadores Cup, which has in the past prevented a team from winning the Copa do Brasil twice in a row.
