2024 Supercopa do Brasil

The Supercopa Rei (also known as Supercopa do Brasil - English: Brazil's 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]
