The historical reparation to the Tricolor gaúcho will be made by Samir Xaud, president of the CBF, this Wednesday (29).

The 1990 edition was the first in the tournament's history. It brought together the 1989 Brazilian champion, Vasco, against the gaúcho club, winner of the first edition of the Copa do Brasil.

There were no dates for the two scheduled matches at the time. The solution was to use the games between them in the group stage of that year's Libertadores.

Grêmio won at Olímpico by 2 x 0 and drew without goals at São Januário on April 18. Winning the trophy that was never seen.

The CBF recreated the trophy that the Tricolor will receive based on the one given to Corinthians, the winner of the 1991 edition.

In August of this year, the entity had already made the same move by recreating the 1985 Brazilian champion medals for the Coritiba players, who were not awarded at the time.

The 1990 and 1991 editions were the only ones held until the CBF recreated the tournament in 2019.

Flamengo (2020, 2021, and 2025), Atlético-MG (2022), Palmeiras (2023), and São Paulo (2024) have been the champions since then, always in a single match.

The competition was renamed Supercopa Rei in 2024, as a tribute to Pelé.
