Matchups are valid for the fifth round of the Copa do Brasil

The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) announced this Wednesday (01) the dates and kickoff times for the matches between Flamengo and Vitória in the fifth round of the Copa do Brasil.

WHEN WILL THE MATCHES BE?

WHERE TO WATCH FLAMENGO VS VITÓRIA IN THE COPA DO BRASIL?

In addition to the dates and times, the Brazilian Football Confederation also announced the broadcasts for the matchups. Both games will be shown on SporTV and Premiere. It is important to note that Globo, which also has the rights to broadcast the Copa do Brasil, chose not to air matches from the fifth round, giving the tournament coverage only from the round of 16 onward.

WHY FLAMENGO VS VITÓRIA?

On March 23, the CBF held the Copa do Brasil draw. Flamengo, part of Pot 1, could have faced teams from any division in the country. However, a Série A team ended up in the path of the tournament’s five-time champion.

Under the CBF’s new regulations for the Copa do Brasil, Série A teams only enter in the fifth round. Therefore, Flamengo and Vitória will make their debut in the current edition. Teams from Série B, C and D, and even those without a division, played in the first four rounds of the national knockout competition.

WHAT WILL FLAMENGO’S MIDWEEK SCHEDULE LOOK LIKE IN APRIL AND MAY?

In short, Flamengo will experience plenty of excitement in the coming midweeks. Aside from the matches against Vitória in April and May, the Rubro-Negro will also have commitments in the Copa Libertadores. There will be three matches in the fourth month of the year and another three in May.

That said, the only exception will be this Thursday (02), when Flamengo plays in the Brasileirão. The ball starts rolling at 9:30 PM (Brasília time) against Bragantino in Bragança Paulista. Coluna do Fla, therefore, will follow the match and bring all the information on the ninth-round clash.
