2024 Supercopa do Brasil

The Supercopa do Brasil (English: Brazil's Super Cup), also known as Supercopa Rei (English: King Super Cup), is a Brazilian association football trophy organized by the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF). It is contested between the champions of the Campeonato Brasileiro and the winners of the Copa do Brasil. If the same club wins Campeonato Brasileiro and Copa do Brasil, their opponent will be the Campeonato Brasileiro runner-up.[1]

The Brazilian Football Confederation announced in 2013 a new edition of the competition was expected to be played in 2015.[2] The revival would only take place in 2020. In honor of O Rei Pelé, who died in 2022, the Supercopa do Brasil was renamed the Supercopa Rei on 31 January 2024.[3]

Unofficial competitions

[edit]

1992

[edit]

An unofficial competition was played in 1992, between the champions of the Série A and of the Série B, as both championships were played in the first six months of the year. The game was played on 12 August between Flamengo (champion of the Série A) and Paraná (champion of the Série B). The game ended in a 2–2 draw, and in the penalty shootout, Flamengo beat the opponent 4–3. While RSSSF[4] regards the competition as some form of Supercopa do Brasil, although officially not regards as Supercopa do Brasil, in Brazil the competition was popularly known as Taça Brahma dos Campeões. Differently from the 1990 and 1991 editions, which were official CBF competitions,[5][6] the 1992 edition[7] was a friendly cup.[8]

2018

[edit]

In 2018, Corinthians, champion of 2017 Campeonato Brasileiro Série A and Cruzeiro, champion of 2017 Copa do Brasil, played two friendly matches during the period corresponding to the 2018 FIFA World Cup to determine the unofficial Super Cup winner. The first game, played at Mineirão on July 4 ended with a 2–0 win for Corinthians,[9] while the return game, played on July 11 at the Arena Corinthians, ended in a 2–2 draw.[10] Two years later, the competition officially returned.
