Under-15 Copa do Brasil decides 16 next-round spots this weekend | OneFootball

Making its debut on the CBF calendar, the Under-15 Copa do Brasil will have a decisive round this weekend, with 16 teams securing qualification for the next stage. The 32 clubs are divided into eight groups of four teams each. So far, only Ceará, Flamengo, and Grêmio have guaranteed their spots.

There will be two matches on Saturday and 14 on Sunday (10). The 16 teams that advance in the competition will be split into eight groups of two, which will mark the start of the knockout stage, played in single-leg matches.

Ceará, Flamengo, Paysandu, and Grêmio, in that order, are the clubs with the best campaigns, with a 100% record.

Paysandu is still not mathematically qualified, as it can still be overtaken by São Paulo-AP and Luminense-MA, currently second and third in Group A5, respectively. But to lose its spot, it would have to suffer a heavy home defeat to Luminense on Sunday, while also needing São Paulo-AP to beat Batalhão-TO by a wide margin in the group’s other match.
