CBF confirms venue for Palmeiras vs Jacuipense second leg | OneFootball

The CBF (Brazilian Football Confederation) confirmed this Monday (13) that the second leg between Jacuipense and Palmeiras, valid for the fifth round of the Copa do Brasil, will be played at Estádio do Café, in Londrina (PR). The club from Bahia sold its home-field rights and will play outside its state in the decisive match.

The match will take place on May 13 (Wednesday) at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time), valid for the fifth round of the competition, and will be the second game of the knockout series. The first leg, with Palmeiras as the home side, will be at Allianz Parque on April 23 (Thursday) at 7:30 p.m. (Brasília time).

According to information published by ESPN, Jacuipense will receive R$ 1.5 million for selling the home-field rights. With the deal, the team gives up ticket revenue, but will not have logistics costs for staging the match.

The club, based in Riachão do Jacuípe (BA), cannot use Estádio Eliel Martins, known as Valfredão, which is undergoing renovation work. In 2026, the team has been hosting its matches at Pituaçu Stadium, in Salvador.

In addition to the structural issue, Valfredão also does not meet the requirements of the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF), as it has a capacity of around five thousand fans, while the governing body requires a minimum of ten thousand seats for this type of competition.
