The date, time, and venue, however, will be announced in the coming weeks. Unlike the men’s edition, the Women’s Copa do Brasil is decided in a single-leg match, with no return fixture. Only from the quarterfinals onward does the tournament switch to knockout ties.

Is the Copa do Brasil important for Flamengo?

The competition is being treated as a priority by the Girls from Gávea. That is because winning it would be unprecedented for the club’s women’s football team. Last year, Fla were eliminated in the round of 16 by São Paulo, who won 1-0.

Is Instituto 3B a first-time opponent?

If winning the Copa do Brasil would be something new, facing Instituto 3B is not. That is because the teams met in the 2025 Women’s Brasileirão. On that occasion, the Girls from Gávea thrashed the team from Amazonas 5-1 in the third round.

How did the Girls from Gávea reach the round of 16?

The Most Beloved began their cup journey in the third round against Liga Sanjoanense. On that occasion, Cristiane and Flávia Mota scored the goals in the Rubro-Negro side’s 2-0 win. As a result, the Girls from Gávea dominated at Ytacoatiara Stadium (Arena Colorada).

How is Flamengo doing this season?

In addition to the Copa do Brasil, the women’s team is competing in the Brasileirão of the category. Mengão is in fourth place with 22 points and is currently in a quarterfinal qualification spot in the competition, which has 18 teams, two fewer than the men’s version.

In the Women’s Copa Rio, Fla finished in second place after a loss to Fluminense. Despite finishing as runners-up, the Girls from Gávea used the state competition to thrash Heips 7-0 in the third round.

Across all competitions, there have been nine wins, five draws, and three defeats in 17 matches. As a result, they have scored 32 goals and conceded 18. Celso Silva’s side even put together a three-match unbeaten run.

What is Flamengo Women’s next match?

Flamengo face Grêmio in the 13th round of the Brasileirão on June 24. Kickoff is at 7:00 p.m. (Brasília time) at Gávea. Therefore, Coluna do Fla will bring the match result through the website and social media.
