Brazil Cup was created to appease the discontent of federations of states with less tradition in national football, whose representatives would hardly have the opportunity to face a "big club" during the year, after the decrease of the number of participants of the Brazilian Soccer Championship of 1987, with the creation of the Union Cup, a competition that brought together only major football clubs in Brazil.
The creation of this competition was aimed at valuing most of the state championships in the North, Northeast and Central West regions, which were no longer representative in the Brazilian Championship and have grown again in importance for the medium and small clubs of these regions because they have Again chances to come, at least theoretically, to the Copa Libertadores of America.
Between 1973 and 1986, the Brasileirão always counted on the presence of at least one representative of each federation (usually the champion of the previous year)
The first edition of the Brazil Cup took place in 1989 and the first goal of its history was scored by Alcindo Sartori [6], in the victory by Flamengo 2-0 over Paysandu. Grêmio was its first champion, qualifying for that reason to dispute the Liberators of America of 1990.
On March 4, 1991, at the 1991 Brazil Cup, the biggest rout in the history of the competition took place at the Independência Stadium in Belo Horizonte, when Atletico Mineiro scored 11-0 at Caiçara. The score of the stadium only had space to register a number per club, so it stopped counting when game was still 9 to 0.
In the 1993 Brazil Soccer Cup, when there was still no "round-robin" rule, Internacional won by 6-0 (April 2) and 9-1 (April 6) from Ji-Paraná in Rondônia , Adding 15 to 1, the largest sum of results of the Brazil Cup.
From 1989 to 1993 Brazil Cup the champion of each year was left with the trophy. From 1994 the club that won the Copa do Brasil three times would have final possession of the cup. This was in 2001 with Grêmio.
Thus, in 2002 Brazil Cup was put in dispute a new trophy, which remained until 2007, even without any club gaining its final possession.
By winning the 2003 Brazilian Cup and the Brazilian Championship in 2003, Cruzeiro achieved the unbeaten record of becoming Brazilian champion and the Brazilian Cup in the same year, a feat that remains unprecedented and also won the Campeonato Mineiro in 2003, Another novelty.
By scoring the goal that won the 2007 Copa do Brasil title for Fluminense, his fourth title in this competition, Roger Machado, who had already won three Grêmio Cups for Brazil, became the record player in the World Cup Brazil.
From 2008, the Brazilian Cup instituted a new cup, and in that same year Sport became the first, and so far single club from outside the Southeast Region and the South Region to win the competition. The North Region was the only one that had no representative in the end so far.
As in previous years, CBF commissioned the artist Holoassy Lins de Albuquerque to create a trophy sculpture, following the tendency of the confederation to present the winning clubs of the largest Brazilian championships with sculptures created exclusively for events by Brazilian artists instead To use standardized trophies.
In 2010, Santos set a new record of goals in a single edition of the Brazilian Cup: 39 goals in all.
The number of participating teams varied a lot in their history, always classified by the result of the competitions of the state federations. From 1989 to 1994, 32 teams participated. This number was increased in 1995 to 36 teams, in 1996 to 40 teams, and in 1997 to 45 teams. In 1998, 42 teams participated. In 1999 there were 65 teams. And in 2000 there were 69 participants.
From 2001 to 2012 the format was consolidated with 64 teams participating, without the participation of the teams that participated in the Libertadores of America that same year, due to the conflict of dates.
In 2013, CBF presented a new cup model. More robust, she has replaced the trophy in dispute since 2008. The champion gets the definitive possession of the current trophy and for the next year a new and identical cup will be produced. In 2013, the format was again expanded, reaching 87 teams, a number that was maintained in 2014 and 2015. With the new format, the teams participating in the Libertadores of America returned to compete in the Brazilian Cup, entering the national tournament directly in the Round of 16. From 2016 this number was 86 participants and from 2017 will be disputed by 91 participants.
