Paysandu and Capitão Poço prepare for 2027 season openers

Paysandu is set to debut in the 2027 Campeonato Paraense against Capitão Poço at the Mangueirão stadium in Belém. The match will also serve as the Supercopa Grão-Pará final. Paysandu President Márcio Tuma noted that the move to Mangueirão is due to ongoing renovations at the Curuzu stadium. The club is prioritizing a state championship defense, the Supercopa title, and promotion to a higher national division.

Capitão Poço will host its historic Copa do Brasil debut at the Diogão stadium in Bragança. Club President Bené Garrafão confirmed the venue change because the Rufinão stadium in Capitão Poço does not meet the minimum 2,000-spectator capacity required by the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF). The Diogão stadium, which holds approximately 6,000 people, fulfills these regulatory requirements.
