Palmeiras face Jacuipense in the fifth round of the Copa do Brasil. Verdão are chasing their fifth title in the national competition.
The CBF confirmed this Wednesday (01) the dates and kickoff times for the clashes between Verdão and the Bahia-based side.
Although there has been no confirmation from the CBF, the second leg between Jacuipense and Palmeiras will be played at Estádio do Café in Londrina, Paraná. The Bahia club negotiated the hosting rights and will play the decisive match outside its home state.
The club, based in Riachão do Jacuípe, Bahia, cannot use Estádio Eliel Martins, known as Valfredão, as it 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 holds around five thousand fans, while the governing body requires a minimum of ten thousand seats for this type of competition.
