About Brazil Cup
The Brazil Cup is a knockout football tournament consisting of 92 teams representing all 26 states and federal districts of Brazil. It is a domestic cup competition in Brazil, equivalent to the Brazilian FA Cup, Portuguese Cup, Copa del Rey, Scottish Cup, and Argentine Cup, although its reputation is much higher and it is considered almost as important as the Brazilian league because the prize money is higher than that of the Brazilian league. The Brazilian Cup is an opportunity for teams from small states to compete against big teams. The cup champion automatically qualifies for the next edition of the Copa Libertadores, the most prestigious intercontinental football tournament organized by top clubs in South America by the South American Football Confederation.
