Part 2/8:
The year 2024 was marked by unexpected successes for Vasco, especially considering the tumultuous backdrop of financial strain and management difficulties. Despite the financial collapse of the club's Sports Association—where a promised investment of 270 million simply failed to materialize—Vasco managed to keep competitive within the league. The club witnessed a return to form in various competitions, achieving a semifinal finish in the Copa do Brasil after a 13-year absence. Moreover, finishing in 10th place in the Brazilian Championship with 50 points secured them a spot in the Sul-Americana for the first time in five seasons, which constitutes a noteworthy improvement.
