The draw conducted by the CBF on Wednesday afternoon determined the home teams for the semifinals of the Copa do Brasil. Vasco will be the home team in the first match against Fluminense, while Cruzeiro will host Corinthians in the other bracket. The return matches will take place with Corinthians and Fluminense as the home teams.
Despite the CBF's decision, the venue for the classic is not yet guaranteed. Vasco depends on the approval of public authorities to play at São Januário. The football director Admar Lopes stated that the club will respect the authorities' decision but emphasized the desire to play at home.

“We will talk with the public authorities and see what they decide. Every Vasco fan prefers to play at São Januário, and we are no exception,” stated the director.
Fernando Diniz's team wants to use the home advantage to gain an edge before the decision at Maracanã. “For me, it doesn't matter whether we play the first match away or at home. Both games are tough, both teams have equal chances,” highlighted the Vasco coach.
The matches will take place on December 10 and 14, after the last round of the Brasileirão, scheduled for the 7th of the same month.
