Mirassol secure historic spot in the 2026 Copa Libertadores | OneFootball

Mirassol secured a spot in the Copa Libertadores for the first time in its history this Thursday. With Corinthians’ 3-1 victory over São Paulo in the classic match, the team from the interior of São Paulo cannot be caught by any team outside the Brasileirão’s G7 and will make its debut in the competition in 2026.

Last night, Mirassol managed a draw against Santos and reached 60 points. With a 14-point lead over Tricolor Paulista, who are in eighth place, and four rounds left in the Brazilian Championship (12 points still up for grabs), they secured their spot, even if it’s not a direct entry into the group stage of the continental competition.

Mirassol is currently in fourth place and is six points behind Fluminense – the first team outside the direct qualification zone for the Libertadores. Therefore, the Leão Caipira is looking to get back to winning ways to stay in the G5 and make their campaign even more surprising.

This Monday, they host Ceará for the 35th round of the Brasileirão. The match kicks off at 7:00 p.m. (Brasília time), at the José Maria de Campos Maia stadium, in Mirassol.
