Corinthians draw Internacional in Copa do Brasil last 16 | OneFootball

Corinthians will face Internacional in the Copa do Brasil last 16 after Tuesday's draw in Rio de Janeiro.

The draw took place at CBF headquarters. According to Meu Timao, the first leg is set for one or two August at Beira-Rio, with the return on five or six August at Neo Química Arena after a further CBF draw decided the order.

Corinthians could have drawn any of the other 15 qualifiers, 14 from the top flight and two from Série B. The last 16 ties are: Internacional v Corinthians, Mirassol v Grêmio, Palmeiras v Fortaleza, Atlético Mineiro v Juventude, Chapecoense v Cruzeiro, Vasco da Gama v Fluminense, Athletico Paranaense v Vitória, Santos v Remo.

The clubs have met in three Copa do Brasil knockouts. Internacional advanced in 1992 and 2017, while Corinthians won the 2009 final against them at Beira-Rio.

By reaching the last 16, Corinthians have secured R$ five million in prize money, R$ two million for the fifth round plus R$ three million for this stage. A quarter-final berth would bring a further R$ four million.

As holders, Corinthians opened this campaign with two 1-0 wins over Barra of Santa Catarina. Jesse Lingard scored in the first leg in Florianópolis, and Yuri Alberto netted in São Paulo in the return. They are chasing a fifth crown after lifting a fourth against Vasco da Gama in December 2025 at the Maracanã.
