São Paulo v Juventude set: dates and where to watch Copa do Brasil ties | OneFootball

CBF has detailed the matchups for the 5th round of the Copa do Brasil, thus setting the dates, kickoff times, and broadcast information for the two clashes between São Paulo and Juventude, which will determine one team advancing to the round of 16 of the national tournament.

From this stage onward, the tournament will include the 20 Série A clubs. The first matches of this round will be played on April 21. From the fifth round to the semifinals, the teams will face each other over two legs. If the aggregate score is tied, the qualifier will be decided by penalties.

Tricolor will play the first leg against the team from Rio Grande do Sul on 4/21 (Tuesday), at 7:15 p.m. (Brasília time), at Morumbi. The second leg will take place on 5/13 (Wednesday), at Alfredo Jaconi Stadium, in Caxias do Sul (RS), at 7 p.m.

Both matches will be broadcast live and exclusively on SporTV and Premiere, the latter through a subscription service.

This will be the third time in the last 11 years of the competition that Tricolor will face Juventude from Rio Grande do Sul. The most recent meeting came in 2022, when São Paulo eliminated Juventude with a 2-2 draw in the South and a 2-0 win at Morumbi to advance to the round of 16. The team was knocked out in the semifinals of the cup that year.

With the change in the competition format, Série A teams now have fewer dates in the Copa do Brasil, slightly easing the schedule for the country’s top clubs. Other new features include a single-match final to decide the champion at the end of the year, as well as Copa Libertadores spots for the 1st- and 2nd-place finishers for next year’s tournament.

With three players on loan to Juventude—the goalkeeper Jandrei, left-back Patryck, both starters, as well as Senegalese defensive midfielder Iba Ly—the rival will have to pay a contractual fine of R$ 1 million for each of them, in each match, if it wants to use them against Tricolor.
