Wikipedia - Copa Verde
The Copa Verde (English: Green Cup) is an annual regional knockout football competition in Brazil that started in 2014, and played by 24 teams from the North and Central-West regions, plus Espírito Santo (Espírito Santo state was included because they competed in the old Copa Centro Oeste).
Initially, the champion of the tournament gained a place in the next year's Copa Sudamericana. With the changes implemented by CONMEBOL in 2016 causes a competition no longer qualify in Copa Sudamericana from edition. The champion will now have a spot in the third round of the Copa do Brasil of the following year. The cup is organized by the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF), with two-legged playoff games played from between the 24 participating teams.
History
The tournament was created with the purpose of making a version of the Copa do Nordeste for the Northern Region of Brazil, hence the name Verde, meaning green, is an allusion to the Amazon Rainforest. The competition was expanded to include clubs from the Central-West Region and from Espírito Santo state (as the state competed in the defunct Copa Centro-Oeste). The competition was officially announced in September by the competitions director of the Brazilian Football Confederation.
From 2026 onwards, the Copa Verde will be played in a supercup format between the winners of the Copa Centro-Oeste and the Copa Norte.
The tournament features a knockout format, with teams from various states competing for the coveted title. Clubs from the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A, Série B, and lower divisions are eligible to participate, creating a diverse and competitive field. The Copa Verde not only highlights regional talent but also promotes the growth of football in less-represented areas of the country.
Matches are held in various venues across the participating states, fostering local pride and community support. The tournament culminates in a thrilling final, where the champion earns a spot in the prestigious Copa do Brasil, providing an additional incentive for teams to strive for victory.
With its vibrant atmosphere, passionate fan base, and the promise of unexpected outcomes, the Brazil Copa Verde has quickly become a beloved fixture in the Brazilian football calendar, celebrating the rich diversity and talent of the nation’s footballing landscape.
