Portuguesa secure spot in national competition for 2027 | OneFootball

With the victory over Ponte Preta last Saturday, Portuguesa secured a spot in the 2027 Brasileirão Série D, in case they do not achieve promotion in the upcoming seasons.

The 2-0 triumph at Canindé ensured the necessary points so that their direct rivals can no longer surpass Lusa, who now have 12 points. Thus, the club once again guarantees its presence in national competitions and could return to a streak of participations in the Brazilian Championship, something that hasn’t happened for three years.

“Our first goal was to have a safe Paulistão, and we achieved that with two rounds to spare. Now we have the possibility to think beyond that, but always keeping our focus game by game,” said coach Fabio Matias.

Portuguesa’s Situation

Second in the group, Lusa has 12 points, behind only Novorizontino, who has four more. However, Lusa has played one more match than some teams and could still be overtaken this round.

Next Match

Portuguesa faces Mirassol next Sunday, at Estádio José Maria de Campos Maia, at 8:30 p.m. (Brasília time).
