Matches will be played only in December

However, the fans will have to hold their excitement. The CBF has determined that the semi-finals of the Copa do Brasil will be played only in December, after the end of the Brasileirão. The dates reserved for the first and second leg matches are the 10th and 14th of December.

The long break will give the teams plenty of time to focus on the other competition and prepare for the decision.

What is not yet defined is the order of the home fields. The CBF will hold a new draw, on a date to be announced, to determine which of the clubs will have the advantage of deciding the spot at home, in the match on December 14th.
