The Copa do Brasil has already begun, but for Flamengo, it will start from the fifth round. The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) has announced the date and time of the draw for the stage that will include Mengão. It will take place next Monday (23rd), starting at 2:00 PM (Brasília time).
The 20 teams from Série A of the Brasileirão will only debut in the Copa do Brasil in the fifth round. The fourth stage is currently underway this week and will determine 12 teams, totaling 32. With these, the 16 matchups for the national knockout stage will be drawn.
Volta Redonda vs Barra (Thursday, 19th) Sport 1×3 Athletic (Athletic qualified for the fifth round) Nova Iguaçu 0x1 Fortaleza (Fortaleza qualified for the fifth round) Jacuipense vs Novorizontino (Wednesday, 18th) São Bernardo 0x0 Ceará (Ceará qualified on penalties for the fifth round) Vila Nova vs Confiança (Wednesday, 18th) Atlético-GO vs Ponte Preta (Wednesday, 18th) Maringá vs Goiás (Thursday, 19th) Juventude vs Águia de Marabá (Thursday, 19th) Londrina 0x1 Operário-PR (Operário qualified for the fifth round) CRB vs Figueirense (Wednesday, 18th) Portuguesa 2×3 Paysandu (Paysandu qualified for the fifth round)
Therefore, Flamengo could face any of the twelve teams qualified for the fifth round or four other Série A teams from the Brasileirão, who will also be in pot 2 of the draw that will take place next Monday (23rd). Therefore, to win their sixth Copa do Brasil title, the Most Beloved will have to overcome five opponents.
Flamengo is the second biggest winner of the Copa do Brasil, with five trophies, behind only six-time winners Cruzeiro. The Rubro-Negro lifted the trophy in 1990, 2006, 2013, 2022, and 2024. Last year, the club treated the competition as a ‘third priority’ and was eliminated in the round of 16, on penalties, by Atlético-MG.
In addition to the fifth round draw of the Copa do Brasil, Flamengo fans will also find out the club’s opponents in the Libertadores da América. The group stage draw will take place this Thursday (19th), in Luque, Paraguay, where Conmebol’s headquarters are located.
