Overview
- Qualification became mathematical after Corinthians beat São Paulo 3–1, leaving Mirassol unreachable by teams outside the G7.
- Mirassol sits fourth on 60 points with a 14-point cushion over the first club outside the G7, with entry potentially beginning in the preliminary phases rather than the group stage.
- The club must establish a women's team and address venue rules, including a 20,000-seat minimum to host knockout ties and the 140 km international-airport radius.
- Estádio José Maria de Campos Maia holds about 15,000, which is sufficient for group games but below the knockout-stage threshold and could force use of another city under current regulations.
- A multi-year rebuild powered the rise: a R$15 million training-center overhaul, roughly R$8 million in stadium upgrades, growing sponsorships near R$15 million annually, and an unbeaten home record with the league's third-best attack led by Reinaldo's 12 goals.
