The Copa do Brasil is the main direct elimination tournament in the country. It was created in 1989 with the intention of calming the protests of the state federations that claimed that their teams had very few opportunities to face the largest in the nation. His concern arose after the decline in the number of entries in the 1987 Brazilian Championship due to the economic problems of the CBF . It seeks to promote the clubs in the North, Northeast and Central West of Brazil that now have the opportunity to reach the Copa Libertadores through this competition.

The participating teams face each other in two-legged qualifiers. The first rounds are decided on a single match. The tournament uses the rule of the double value of the goals in the opposite field in the event of a tie in the overall result, something that is unusual in South America. In case the two clubs are from the same city, this rule does not apply. The winner qualifies for the Copa Libertadores .

In each Copa do Brasil 91 teams compete. The places are distributed according to the following order: the 70 best of the state championships, the first six of the Brazilian Serie A , the winner of the Northwest Cup and Green Cup , the top ten in the CBF ranking who have not yet obtained a place and two of the most recent champions of the Copa Libertadores or Copa Sudamericana , the seventh in the country's highest category or the first in the second division .

More than 15 teams are part of the record of the Copa do Brasil and two have more than five winches: Cruzeiro and Grêmio . At the state level, Sao Paulo clubs are the greatest dominators in their history with more than nine wins.

Grêmio was the first to win the championship trophy in 1989. The Porto Alegre team left the Ibiraçu, the Mixed, and the Bahia and Flamengo to reach the final. In the title tie, they defeated Sport Recife thanks to a 2-1 victory in the second leg.

The 2020 edition was not exempt from having to stop due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The competition stopped from March 15 to August 26 of that year. The final ended up being played more than a year after the start of the first round. Palmeiras became champions that year after defeating Grêmio in the final with an aggregate score of 3-0.
