The Copa do Brasil de Futebol Feminino (English: Brazilian Women's Football Cup) is a Brazilian Women's football competition organized by the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF).

Contents

It was designed as an equivalent to the men's Copa do Brasil, with the first edition being played in 2007. [1] [2] Abolished in 2017, [3] CBF announced the return of the competition on 17 January 2025, with 64 teams from the three national divisions. [4]

History

The competition was announced after FIFA president Sepp Blatter requested the creation of a professional women's football league in Brazil. [5] Since Brazil had no national league until 2013, the winner of the 2008 to 2013 cups qualified for the Copa Libertadores Femenina.

CBF canceled the competition in 2017 to make the Campeonato Brasileiro de Futebol Feminino more balanced and attractive, [3] but announced its return on 17 January 2025. [4]

Format

In 2007, the competition was contested by 32 teams, and was played from 30 October to 9 December of the same year. Copa do Brasil de Futebol Feminino's first stage was similar to the men's competition, thus being a knockout competition, played over two legs between clubs of the same region, and disputed in three rounds, but in the second stage the eight qualified clubs were divided in two groups of four teams each, playing against each other once, and held in a host city. The two best placed teams of each group qualified to the semifinals. The semifinal winners played the final while the losers played the third-place playoff. [6] CBF determined that to be eligible to play in the competition it was necessary to be a minimum of 14 years old and a maximum of 34 years old, and half of the players of each club had to be aged between 14 and 18 years old. [7]

In the past format, the competition was contested between the state champions, with states best-ranked in the CBF ranking receiving multiple entries, totalling 32 teams. For the 2025 edition, the competition will be contested by 64 teams: 16 from the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A1, 16 from the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A2, and 32 from the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A3. [4]

Referees

The Brazilian Football Confederation created a separated women's referee staff for the competition, not connected to the men's referee staff. [8]
