CBF brings forward Corinthians’ Copa do Brasil quarter-final second leg | OneFootball

At the end of Monday night, August 25, the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) published on its official website the change of date for the second match of the Copa do Brasil quarterfinals between Corinthians and Athletico-PR, at Neo Química Arena. Initially scheduled for August 11 at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), the match was brought forward to the day before at the same time.

According to the national entity, the reason for the change in date was due to the subsequent release of the Conmebol South American quarterfinals schedule. Of the teams present in the national knockout tournament, Atlético-MG and Fluminense are competing in the international competition.

"In compliance with article 40, § 1 and §2 of the REC, the dates stipulated in this IMT were changed due to the date disclosed by Conmebol regarding the quarterfinals of the 2025 Conmebol Sudamericana, requiring an adjustment of dates to comply with the minimum regulatory interval of 66 hours. Applicant: DCO/CBF (see IMT 15CBR of 25.08.25)", says the entity.

In light of this, the presence of goalkeeper Hugo Souza, from Corinthians, in the match becomes uncertain. Called up to the Brazilian National Team, the Corinthian goalkeeper will represent the Yellow-and-Green one day before in a match against Bolivia, away from home, in the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers.

In this edition of the Copa do Brasil, the CBF had already changed the date of the Derby return match, initially scheduled for August 14, Thursday, to August 13. In October 2024, the entity granted a request from Flamengo and brought forward the return match of the Rio de Janeiro team against Corinthians, in the semifinals of the competition, in Itaquera, which generated revolt in the Parque São Jorge club.
