The 2015 Copa do Brasil (officially the 2015 Copa Sadia do Brasil for sponsorship reasons) [3] was the 27th edition of the Copa do Brasil football competition. The competition was contested by 87 teams, which qualified either by participating in their respective state championships (71), by the CBF Rankings (10), by qualifying for the 2015 Copa Libertadores (5) or having the best 2014 Série A record (excluding those qualified for 2015 Copa Libertadores). The latter 6 clubs entered the competition in the 4th stage. The best six teams of the 2014 Brazilian Championship eliminated until the third round qualified for the 2015 Copa Sudamericana.

Contents

The competition was won by Palmeiras, which earned their third title by defeating fellow São Paulo club Santos in a penalty shootout.

Format

The competition was a single elimination knockout tournament featuring two-legged ties. In the first two rounds, if the away team won the first match by two or more goals, it progressed straight to the next round avoiding the second leg. The away goals rule was also used in the Copa do Brasil, but not for the finals. [4] The winner qualifies for the 2016 Copa Libertadores.

  1. 2015 Copa do Nordeste:
    • As champions of the 2015 Copa do Nordeste, Ceará were qualified for 2015 Copa Sudamericana. They qualified also for 2015 Copa do Brasil round of 16 losing their Copa Sudamericana berth. For this reason, Bahia qualified for the 2015 Copa Sudamericana as 2015 Copa do Nordeste best team (runners-up) eliminated before round of 16. [7]

Pot 2 was composed of the other teams that qualified through the third round. Each pot was divided into 4 pairs according to the CBF ranking.
