Vasco secure their place in Série A for 2026 | OneFootball

The combination of results from the 37th round of the Brasileirão brought relief to Vasco. Even without taking the field this Wednesday, the Rio de Janeiro club confirmed its stay in the 2026 Série A thanks to the defeats of Internacional and Vitória. With the setbacks of direct competitors, the São Januário team is mathematically free from any risk of relegation.

Vasco reaches the final stretch of the championship with 45 points, occupying the 12th position, a spot that also leaves them close to securing a place in the Copa Sudamericana. Therefore, the last round will be under less pressure, serving only to confirm the club's place among those qualified for the continental tournament.

The analysis by commentator Ricardo Mansur during the round highlighted that Vasco's best moments in recent matches occurred when the team “pressed the ball out,” a behavior that helped the team score in previous weeks.

With Santos and Fortaleza winning in the round, Vasco depended on a setback from Internacional and a winner in the duel between Bragantino and Vitória — a scenario that materialized and ensured their stay without the need for a final drama.

Now, the team turns its attention to the last round match against Atlético-MG, on Sunday, at 4 PM (Brasília time), at the Arena MRV.
