Copa Sul-Sudeste: semi-finals start this Wednesday | OneFootball

The first edition of the South-Southeast Cup is nearing its end, with the semifinalists facing off this Wednesday in the first leg, both at 7 p.m.: Volta Redonda vs. Avaí, at Raulino de Oliveira, and Novorizontino vs. Chapecoense, at Jorge Ismael de Biasi.

The other two matches, which will determine the pair that will contest the title, will be held on Wednesday the 27th, at Ressacada and Arena Condá.

The South-Southeast Cup is in its first edition and is part of the restructuring of the national calendar. One of its goals is to give more opportunities to clubs that stand out in the state championships of the two regions and do not have a full schedule throughout the year.

In this edition, 12 clubs from Série A, B, C, and D of the Brazilian Championship were included:

Chapecoense (A), América-MG (B), Avaí (B), Juventude (B), Novorizontino (B), Operário-PR (B), São Bernardo (B), Caxias (C), Volta Redonda (C), Cianorte (D), Sampaio Corrêa-RJ (D), and Tombense (D).
