The suggestion came from the president of the CBF, Ednaldo Rodrigues , and, if approved, could further intensify the already tight national football calendar. The maximum Brazilian football entity has already confirmed a change for the 2025 edition, but without direct impact on the club's agenda. With the new rule defined, the teams with the best place in the CBF ranking lost the benefit of the draw as a classification criterion in the early stages. Now, in case of equality on the scoreboard, the vacancy will be decided on penalties, making the competition more disputed from the beginning. href = "https://www.sofascore.com/en/time/futebol/flamengo/5981" target = "_ blank"> Flamengo , has a guaranteed presence in the third phase of the tournament. In addition to the red-black, 11 other teams come directly at this stage, including Botafogo, Palmeiras, Fortaleza, Internacional, Sao Paulo, Corinthians, Bahia, Cruzeiro, Santos, Paysandu and CRB. The competition program provides for the third phase round games to take place in late April, while the return matches are scheduled for the second half of May. The duels will be defined by draw held by CBF, which will organize the switching according to the team ranking. The 16 best -ranked CBF teams will be in pot 1, while the others will integrate the pot 2. As current champion, Mengão should be one of the key heads in the first pot. This phase of the tournament marks the entry of the teams that compete for Libertadores and national competition champions, raising the level of the dispute. This would require adjustments in club planning, especially those who compete for more than one tournament simultaneously. Change can directly affect teams that have shorter casts, as increased game load may require a larger carrier of players. On the other hand, the new format can also make confrontations tight and more balanced, avoiding early eliminations in just one game. Possible reformulation in the early stages can change tournament dynamics and increase the level of competitiveness. CRF, as one of the favorites, is aware of the CBF movements and awaits the official definition of phases format Initials.
