Grêmio x Falcon: how the teams arrive
In search of their first Copinha title, Grêmio is in Group 2, which also includes Falcon-SE, Galvez-AC and Votuporanguense-SP. Only the top two in the group advance to the next stage, which will be played on an eliminatory system, in a single game.
This is Tricolor Gaúcho’s 39th participation in the tournament. The most notable campaigns took place in 1991 and 2020, when the club reached the decision and finished runner-up to Portuguesa-SP and Internacional, respectively.
Falcon, in turn, competes in the Copinha for the fourth time. The team from Sergipe secured a place after winning the Sergipe Under-20 Championship, beating Sergipe in the final and reaching the third state championship in the category.
