Grêmio to be honoured by CBF with the 1990 Supercopa do Brasil trophy | OneFootball

The CBF (Brazilian Football Confederation) will officially recognize a historic title for Grêmio. This Wednesday, the president of the entity, Samir Xaud, will be at the Grêmio Arena to present the tricolor president, Alberto Guerra, with the trophy for the 1990 Supercopa do Brasil.

As the 1989 Copa do Brasil champion, Grêmio faced Vasco da Gama — the winner of that year's Brazilian Championship — in the first edition of the Supercopa do Brasil.

Due to a lack of dates in the calendar, the CBF and the clubs decided that the matches between the two teams in the group stage of the 1990 Libertadores would also determine the national tournament champion. On that occasion, Grêmio and Vasco were in the same group of the continental competition, and the Tricolor came out on top.

The trophy that will be delivered now is an exact replica of what was awarded to Corinthians in the following edition, in 1991 — the same time when the CBF crest still displayed only three stars, alluding to the world titles of the Brazilian National Team.

The entity had already taken a similar action in August when it presented former players of Coritiba with medals for the 1985 Brazilian Championship title.
