Part 2/8:
The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) has made adjustments to the Copa do Brasil regulations concerning player registrations. Historically, when a large team faced a smaller team in early rounds, if the match ended in a draw, the larger team would qualify without needing a penalty shootout. Under the new rules, this will no longer be the case. Consequently, larger teams are now required to take these initial games seriously and field their best players to ensure progression.
