Vasco reach Copa do Brasil semi-finals and bank R$ nine million | OneFootball

Vasco have reached the Copa do Brasil semi-finals after eliminating Vitória, a run that also guarantees R$ nine million in prize money. Pedro Emanuel’s side won the first leg 1-0 at São Januário and confirmed progress at Barradão.

According to Globo.com, the campaign has generated R$ 18 million so far. That total includes progress past Paysandu in the fifth round and Fluminense in the last 16, plus the quarter-final prize.

Vasco now face Palmeiras in a two-legged semi-final, with the winner advancing to the final.

Copa do Brasil prize money by round is R$ two million for the fifth round, R$ three million for the last 16, R$ four million for the quarter-finals and R$ nine million for the semi-finals. The champions receive R$ 78 million.

This is Vasco’s first semi-final since 2025, when they reached the final and finished runners-up. A title would take total earnings to R$ 96 million, based on the competition’s projected payouts.
