Jacuipense settle on venue for Palmeiras clash in Copa do Brasil | OneFootball

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, Paraná. The Bahia-based club negotiated the hosting rights and will play outside its home state in this decisive matchup.

According to information published by ESPN, Jacuipense will receive R$1.5 million for selling the hosting rights. With the agreement, the team gives up ticket revenue but will not have to cover logistical costs for staging the match.

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

In addition to the structural issue, Valfredão also does not meet the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) requirements, 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.

The date of the match has not yet been set. The first and second legs of the fifth round of the Copa do Brasil are scheduled to take place in the weeks of April 22 and May 13.
