The 2012 Copa do Brasil (officially the Copa Kia do Brasil 2012 for sponsorship reasons) was the 24th edition of the Copa do Brasil. It began on March 7 and ended on July 11. The competition was contested by 64 teams, either qualified through their respective state championships (54) or by the CBF Rankings (10). Clubs that qualify for the 2012 Copa Libertadores (like the current champion, Vasco da Gama) did not take part because of scheduling conflicts.

The cup winner qualifies for the 2013 Copa Libertadores.

Format

[edit]

The competition is a single elimination knockout tournament featuring two-legged ties. In the first two rounds, if the away team wins the first match by 2 or more goals, it progresses straight to the next round avoiding the second leg. The away goals rule is also used in the Copa do Brasil. The winner qualifies for the 2013 Copa Libertadores, which prevents a team from winning the Copa do Brasil twice in a row.

Qualified teams

[edit]

Qualified by state championships and other competitions

[edit]

54 spots in the tournament are destinated to all the 27 State federations to indicate either one, two or three clubs, depending on their status in CBF State ranking.[1] Criteria may vary, but usually state federations indicate clubs with best records in the state championships or other special competitions organized by such institutions.

Teams in italics may qualify for the Copa Libertadores.
