Overview
- Atlético‑MG faces Lanús in the Copa Sul‑Americana final at 17:00 (Brasília) in Assunção’s Defensores del Chaco, with TV coverage on SBT and ESPN and streaming on Disney+.
- Whoever wins the final qualifies directly for the 2026 Libertadores group stage, which would secure Atlético‑MG’s continental place without relying on its remaining league fixtures.
- Round 35 begins with Botafogo vs Grêmio at 19:30, followed by Flamengo vs Bragantino and Palmeiras vs Fluminense at 21:30, as Flamengo leads the table with 71 points to Palmeiras’ 69.
- Botafogo sits fifth with 55 points and can effectively cement Libertadores participation with a win, while Bahia’s G‑5 chances fell sharply after losing 3–2 to Fortaleza, according to updated projections.
- Mirassol has clinched its first Libertadores berth but still must meet CONMEBOL Club Manual requirements, including forming a women’s team and upgrading or relocating from its current stadium setup; Atlético‑MG’s league match with Fortaleza was postponed to Nov. 30 due to the final.
