Copa do Brasil Feminino final draw

Flamengo and Internacional have secured their Copa do Brasil women's final home slots, but the path to that point has involved some friction. globo investigated the CBF's push to hold the opening match at MARACANÃ and found the idea was to place Flamengo in its main stadium while a FIFA date was on the calendar, keeping the major venues free and making the tournament more visible. What Flamengo cited for choosing Luso-Brasileiro instead was "works" at the Maracanã. Stadium representatives told GE the pitch was only undergoing routine maintenance, so that explanation does not fully align. Timing made it worse: home advantage was drawn two days before kickoff, leaving almost no room to promote the event or finalize logistics. Mounting an operation like that in that window was not going to happen. On the other side, Beira-Rio hosts the second leg, Internacional's main stadium, and the club set up operations to ensure the venue was free even with shows booked the night before. 📸 Luciana Vermell/CBF
