Brasília tipped to host 2026 Copa do Brasil final | OneFootball

First Single Final of the Copa do Brasil Takes Place in 2026

The Mané Garrincha Stadium in Brasília emerges as the main candidate to host the first single-match final of the Copa do Brasil in 2026. The CBF has not yet made a decision or set a deadline, but it considers the federal capital a priority in its planning.

Additionally, part of the CBF leadership advocates for Mané Garrincha to become the ‘permanent home’ of the knockout competition's final, an idea gaining traction behind the scenes. The information comes from GE.

WHY DO THE OFFICIALS BELIEVE MANÉ GARRINCHA IS IDEAL?

For the entity's officials, the Mané Garrincha Stadium has the ideal characteristics for a national final. This is because it does not favor specific clubs, offers a high standard of infrastructure, and has the capacity to host a large audience.

Similarly, they highlight Brasília as a strategic point in the country, with a good supply of flights. The extensive hotel network also helps accommodate fans from various regions.

SINGLE FINAL OF THE COPA DO BRASIL?

In October, the CBF announced that the Copa do Brasil will have more teams and will be contested in a single final, with guaranteed participation of the 20 Serie A teams. According to the entity, the competition starts on February 18 and ends on December 6, concluding the national football calendar, as the Brasileirão will end on December 2.
