How much did Vasco earn in Copa do Brasil 2026 prize money? | OneFootball

Vasco secured a prize of R$ 3 million by confirming its place in the round of 16 of the 2026 Copa do Brasil. The Rio club moved on in the national competition after drawing 2-2 with Paysandu at São Januário, taking advantage of the two-goal lead built in the first leg. With that result, the total amount received by the club in the current edition of the tournament has reached R$ 5 million.

The CBF regulations provide for payments for each knockout round played, and Vasco began its campaign directly in the fifth round of the competition. For participating in that previous stage, the club had already pocketed R$ 2 million. Now, as one of the 16 best teams in the competition, the board awaits the definition of its next opponent through an official draw organized by the top governing body of Brazilian football.

The round-of-16 matchups are only expected to take place in August, respecting the break in the calendar for the World Cup. This interval will be crucial for Vasco to reorganize its squad and recover injured players for the decisive challenges of the second half of the year. The accumulated prize money will help keep financial commitments up to date and invest in the structure of the professional football department.

If they manage to advance to the quarterfinals, the Gigante da Colina could secure another R$ 4 million in bonuses. The road to the title is lucrative, with the champion of this edition able to earn a record prize of R$ 78 million just for winning the final. The focus of the management led by Pedrinho is to take the club as far as possible to maximize revenue from the tournament.
