Copa do Brasil draw: Flamengo’s possible opponents and pot allocations | OneFootball

CBF Draws the Groups for the Copa do Brasil This Monday (23)

Flamengo will make its debut in the Copa do Brasil starting from the fifth phase. Their opponent will be determined this Monday (23), when the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) will hold the draw. O Mais Querido is in pot 1 and could face teams from the first division or even from Série D.

The ceremony will take place starting at 2 p.m. (Brasília time), at the CBF headquarters in Rio de Janeiro. In addition to Flamengo, the other 19 Série A clubs will also debut in the fifth phase. The remaining teams have advanced from the earlier stages of the national competition.

WHAT ARE THE POTS FOR THE 2026 COPA DO BRASIL?

Therefore, Flamengo may face Série A teams such as Vitória, Coritiba, Mirassol, Chapecoense, and Remo, but could also be drawn against Jacuipense, which is from Série D of the Brasileirão. An opponent that would draw attention on Mengo’s path would be Confiança-SE, which is managed by Rodolfo Landim, former president of O Mais Querido.

WHEN WILL FLAMENGO’S MATCHES IN THE COPA DO BRASIL TAKE PLACE?

The first leg of the fifth phase of the Copa do Brasil will take place on April 22 or 23. The return leg will be scheduled for May 13 or 14. It’s worth noting that the other midweeks of these two months will be occupied by the six rounds of the Libertadores da América.

Thus, Flamengo will receive R$ 2 million for playing in the fifth phase of the Copa do Brasil. If they advance, they will earn a prize of R$ 3 million. If they progress, the Rubro-Negro will only return to the field in the round of 16 after the World Cup, on August 1 or 2 and 5 or 6.
