Football tournament season
The 2013 Copa do Brasil (officially the 2013 Copa Perdigão do Brasil for sponsorship reasons)[1] was the 25th edition of the Copa do Brasil. It began on February 27 and ended on November 27. The competition was contested by 87 teams, either qualified through participating in their respective state championships (71), by the CBF Rankings (10) or those qualified for 2013 Copa Libertadores (6). Clubs that qualify for the 2013 Copa Libertadores entered the competition in the Round of 16. The best 8 teams of 2012 Campeonato Brasileiro eliminated up to the third round qualifies for 2013 Copa Sudamericana which was contested in the second half of 2013.[2]
Format
The competition is a single elimination knockout tournament featuring two-legged ties. In the first two rounds, if the away team wins the first match by 2 or more goals, it progresses straight to the next round avoiding the second leg. The away goals rule is also used in the Copa do Brasil. The winner qualifies for the 2014 Copa Libertadores.[2]
