The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) has scheduled the upcoming draw for the round of 16 matchups in the Brazil Cup.
The event is slated for this coming Thursday at 2 PM Brasília time, and it will take place in the CBF auditorium. Fans can tune in to the draw live via the CBF’s YouTube channel.
This announcement comes after several teams qualified over the weekend, completing the list of 16 clubs for the draw.
Athletico-PR advanced past Ypiranga-RS, Juventude defeated Internacional, and Grêmio won against Operário-PR.
Severe rainstorms in the southern region of the country initially postponed these matches, part of the third phase of the tournament.
Officials have scheduled the next round of matches in the Brazil Cup for between July 31 and August 7.
Notably, the draw will not segregate teams into different pots, meaning any matchup, including state derbies, is possible.
The process for determining home field advantage will remain unchanged from previous rounds.
The following clubs have secured their spots in the round of 16 draw:
- Northeast: Bahia (Bahia), CRB (Alagoas)
- Southeast: São Paulo, Palmeiras, Red Bull Bragantino, Corinthians (São Paulo), Vasco, Flamengo, Fluminense, and Botafogo (Rio de Janeiro); Atlético-MG (Minas Gerais)
- Central-West: Goiás and Atlético-GO (Goiás);
- South: Juventude and Grêmio (Rio Grande do Sul), Athletico-PR (Paraná).
