With each edition, the Copa do Brasil reinforces its position as the most democratic and unpredictable competition on the national calendar. In 2025, the rule was maintained - and with even more stunning surprises: CSA and Retrô, both from Série C, advanced to the quarterfinals by eliminating, away from home, none other than Grêmio and Fortaleza, two of the strongest teams in Série A. Alongside CRB, which knocked out Santos, the Alagoans achieved an unprecedented feat: for the first time, two clubs from the state of Alagoas are in the quarterfinals. A milestone that rewrites the history of northeastern football. While some faced tough challenges, others had smoother paths. Atlético-MG, for example, passed through Tocantinópolis, Manaus, and Maringá. Vasco eliminated União Rondonópolis, Nova Iguaçu, and Operário-PR. Meanwhile, Retrô faced and overcame Jequié, Atlético-GO, and the powerful Fortaleza, with this last victory being one of the biggest upsets in recent years. The absence of big teams in the quarterfinal draw, which will be held on a date yet to be defined by the CBF, opens the door for state derbies and more surprises. After all, as the competition has shown so far, there are no favorites. Each phase increases the prize. The teams that advanced to the quarterfinals received R$ 3,638,250. Those who advance to the semifinals will receive an additional R$ 4,740,750. For clubs with lower investment, these values represent rare financial breathing room - and another reason to fight on an equal footing with the giants.
