This Monday (23), the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) held the draw for the fifth round of the Copa do Brasil. As a result, it was decided that Flamengo will face Vitória in search of a place in the round of 16. It is worth noting that this will not be the first time the two red-and-black teams have met in the tournament.
1998 – Vitória advanced to the round of 16
2003 – Flamengo advanced to the quarterfinals
2004 – Flamengo advanced to the semifinals
That is because Flamengo and Vitória have already faced each other in three editions of the Copa do Brasil, playing six matches. Meanwhile, the Most Beloved has five wins and only one loss. In other words, Mengão hopes to improve its record even further against the team from Bahia.
The first leg of the fifth round of the Copa do Brasil will take place on April 22 or 23, with Flamengo as the home team. The return leg will be played on May 13 or 14, at Barradão, Vitória’s stadium. During the other midweeks of those two months, the Copa Libertadores will fill the schedule with six matchdays.
In the 2026 season, the CBF will invest around R$ 500 million for the participating clubs. In addition, the Copa do Brasil champion can earn up to R$ 99.25 million. After all, the team will receive R$ 78 million just for winning the national title.
