[Supercopa do Brasil](/source/Supercopa_do_Brasil) }} The '''Copa do Brasil''' ({{IPA|pt-BR|ˈkɔ.pɐ du bɾaˈziw}}, {{langx|en|Brazil Cup}}) is a knockout [football](/source/association_football) competition played by 126 clubs, representing all [26 Brazilian states](/source/States_of_Brazil) and the [Federal District](/source/Federal_District_(Brazil)). It is the Brazilian domestic cup and it is the Brazilian equivalent of the [FA Cup](/source/FA_Cup), [Taça de Portugal](/source/Ta%C3%A7a_de_Portugal), [Copa del Rey](/source/Copa_del_Rey), [Scottish Cup](/source/Scottish_Cup) and [Copa Argentina](/source/Copa_Argentina), even though it has much more prestige and is considered almost as important as the [Campeonato Brasileiro](/source/Campeonato_Brasileiro_S%C3%A9rie_A), as the prize money is higher than the ''Brasileirão'''s.{{Cite web |date=2023-09-25 |title=Por que a premiação da Copa do Brasil é maior que a do Brasileiro? |url=https://www.uol.com.br/esporte/futebol/ultimas-noticias/2023/09/25/por-que-a-copa-do-brasil-paga-mais-que-o-brasileirao.htm |access-date=2024-03-27 |website=UOL |language=pt-br}} The winner of the cup automatically qualifies for the following edition of the [Copa Libertadores](/source/Copa_Libertadores), the most prestigious continental football tournament contested by top clubs in [South America](/source/South_America), organized by [CONMEBOL](/source/CONMEBOL). Initially, the Copa do Brasil was contested by 32 clubs. The field increased to 40 in 1996, increased to 69 by the year of 2000, and stabilized at 64 after 2001, until 2012. Clubs from all [26 Brazilian states](/source/States_of_Brazil) and the [Federal District](/source/Federal_District_(Brazil)) participate. From 2001 to 2012, the Copa do Brasil was played in the first half of the year and in those seasons, due to busy [scheduling](/source/Campeonato_Brasileiro_tournament_scheduling), teams playing in the Copa Libertadores did not participate in the Copa do Brasil during the same year. Thus, the Copa do Brasil champion never defended their title in the next edition, since they would be qualified for the Copa Libertadores that year. From 2013 to 2015, 87 clubs participate in the cup and the teams that compete in the Copa Libertadores join the Copa do Brasil directly in the Round of 16. Also, the best 8 from the previous year's [Campeonato Brasileiro Série A](/source/Campeonato_Brasileiro_S%C3%A9rie_A) eliminated up to the third round qualify for [Copa Sudamericana](/source/Copa_Sudamericana). Since the [2023 edition](/source/2023_Copa_do_Brasil), the tournament has been sponsored by Betano and is thus known as the '''Copa Betano do Brasil'''.{{Cite web |last=Esporte |first=Redação Máquina do |date=2022-12-06 |title=Copa do Brasil oficializa Betano como dona do title sponsor da competição a partir de 2023 - Futebol |url=https://maquinadoesporte.com.br/futebol/copa-do-brasil-faz-anuncio-de-que-betano-tera-title-sponsor-da-competicao-a-partir-de-2023/ |access-date=2023-02-08 |website=Máquina do Esporte}} [Cruzeiro](/source/Cruzeiro_Esporte_Clube) is the most successful club, having won the competition six times, followed by [Flamengo](/source/Clube_de_Regatas_do_Flamengo) and [Grêmio](/source/Gr%C3%AAmio_Foot-Ball_Porto_Alegrense) with 5 titles, [Corinthians](/source/SC_Corinthians_Paulista) and [Palmeiras](/source/Sociedade_Esportiva_Palmeiras) with 4, and [Atlético Mineiro](/source/Clube_Atl%C3%A9tico_Mineiro) with 2. Another 11 clubs have won one edition of the competition, resulting in a total of 17 champions. The state with the highest number of titles is [São Paulo](/source/S%C3%A3o_Paulo_(state)), with 11. Only two states have champions from more than one city: São Paulo ([Jundiaí](/source/Jundia%C3%AD), [Santo André](/source/Santo_Andr%C3%A9%2C_S%C3%A3o_Paulo), [Santos](/source/Santos%2C_S%C3%A3o_Paulo) and [São Paulo](/source/S%C3%A3o_Paulo)) and Rio Grande do Sul ([Caxias do Sul](/source/Caxias_do_Sul) and [Porto Alegre](/source/Porto_Alegre)). [Rio de Janeiro](/source/Rio_de_Janeiro) (Flamengo, [Fluminense](/source/Fluminense_FC) and [Vasco da Gama](/source/CR_Vasco_da_Gama)) and [São Paulo](/source/S%C3%A3o_Paulo) (Palmeiras, Corinthians and [São Paulo](/source/S%C3%A3o_Paulo_FC)) are the only cities with more than two champion clubs. ==Format== The competition is a [single elimination](/source/single_elimination) [knockout tournament](/source/knockout_tournament) featuring [two-legged tie](/source/two-legged_tie)s (in the third round onwards). In the first two rounds, the winner is known after a single leg. The first round is played in the lowest ranked club's stadium, with the away club having a [draw](/source/draw_(sports)) advantage to qualify. Since the tournament's creation in 1989, the winner qualifies for the next year's [Copa Libertadores de América](/source/Copa_Libertadores). ===Clubs=== {| class="wikitable" style="text-align: center;

appease the state soccer federations with fewer large and traditional clubs on the national stage, whose representatives would hardly have the opportunity to face big clubs during the year. This concern arose after a decrease in the number of participants in the 1987 Campeonato Brasileiro, when 13 of the biggest clubs in Brazil broke away to form the [Copa União (Union Cup)](/source/Copa_Uni%C3%A3o) in response to the [CBF](/source/Brazilian_Football_Confederation)'s financial difficulties. The creation of this competition was designed to promote the state championships in states with weaker teams, as a compensation for the reduction in the number of teams in the [Campeonato Brasileiro Série A](/source/Campeonato_Brasileiro_S%C3%A9rie_A) and the [Campeonato Brasileiro Série B](/source/Campeonato_Brasileiro_S%C3%A9rie_B). The Copa do Brasil is of high importance for the medium and small clubs in these regions who now, at least theoretically, have a path to qualify for the Copa Libertadores. The first edition of the Copa do Brasil took place in 1989. The first goal in the cup's history was scored by [Alcindo Sartori](/source/Alcindo_Sartori) in a 2–0 victory by [Flamengo](/source/Clube_de_Regatas_do_Flamengo) over [Paysandu](/source/Paysandu_Sport_Club). [Gremio](/source/Gr%C3%AAmio_Foot-Ball_Porto_Alegrense) were the first champion, qualifying to compete in the 1990 Copa Libertadores. From 1989 to 1993, the champion of that year took home the trophy. In 1994 it was determined that the club that won the Copa do Brasil three times would have final possession of the cup. This happened in 2001 with [Grêmio](/source/Gr%C3%AAmio_Foot-Ball_Porto_Alegrense) (after winning in 1994, 1997 and 2001). Thus, for the [2002 Copa do Brasil](/source/2002_Copa_do_Brasil) a new trophy was contested, which remained until 2007 with no club earning its final possession. By winning the [2003 Copa do Brasil](/source/2003_Copa_do_Brasil) and the [2003 Campeonato Brasileiro](/source/2003_Campeonato_Brasileiro_S%C3%A9rie_A), [Cruzeiro](/source/Cruzeiro_Esporte_Clube) won both the domestic cup and domestic league in the same year, a feat that was matched only once in Brazilian football by [Atlético Mineiro](/source/Atl%C3%A9tico_Mineiro) in 2021. Atlético has also won the 2021 [Campeonato Mineiro](/source/Campeonato_Mineiro), their state championship, as Cruzeiro did in 2003, completing the domestic treble (State league, national league and cup). In 2008, a new trophy was instituted for the Copa do Brasil. In that same year [Sport Recife](/source/Sport_Club_do_Recife) became the first and so far only club from outside the Southeast Region or the South Region to win the competition. The North Region and Center-West regions have had no representative win the cup so far. [Grêmio](/source/Gr%C3%AAmio_Foot-Ball_Porto_Alegrense)'s victory over [Atletico Mineiro](/source/Clube_Atl%C3%A9tico_Mineiro) in the first leg of the [2016 Copa do Brasil](/source/2016_Copa_do_Brasil) final was the first time ever that a visiting club won the first leg of the Copa do Brasil final, in the 28 editions of the competition. The number of participating teams has varied during the competition's history, based on the number of teams that qualify through their state federation's league tournament. From 1989 to 1994, 32 teams participated. That number was increased in 1995 to 36 teams, in 1996 to 40 teams, and in 1997 to 45 teams. 42 teams participated in 1998, 65 in 1999 and 69 in 2000. From 2001 to 2012, the format was consolidated to 64 teams, without teams that participated in the Copa Libertadores that year due to conflict of dates. In 2013, CBF presented a new cup trophy to replace the trophy in dispute since 2008. The champion gets permanent possession of the trophy and an identical trophy will be produced for the following year. Also in 2013, the tournament format was expanded again to 87 teams, which remained through 2014 and 2015. Under the new format, teams participating in Copa Libertadores again competed in the Copa do Brasil, entering the tournament directly into the Round of 16. In 2016 the number of participants was increased to 86, in 2017 to 91 and in 2021 to 92. == Sponsorship == {| class="wikitable" !Years !Official sponsor !Name |- !2009–2012 |[Kia
