About Copa Sul-Sudeste

History, Format, Organization, Media Coverage

The Copa Sul-Sudeste is a regional competition created in parallel with the return of the Copa Norte and Copa Centro-Oeste, aimed at teams from the South and Southeast regions of Brazil (excluding the state of Espírito Santo which for technical leveling reasons will compete in the Copa Centro-Oeste) that are not classified for CONMEBOL competitions (Copa Libertadores and Copa Sudamericana). The objective of the competition is to allocate a spot directly to the third stage of the Copa do Brasil, a competition that has been expanded to 126 clubs.
