Santos and Remo set for Copa do Brasil clash in August 2026

Brazilian clubs Santos and Remo will meet in the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil, with the first leg scheduled for August 1‑2, 2026 in Santos and the return leg for August 5‑6. The draw, made by the Brazilian Football Confederation, pits the two sides after a 16‑year gap since their last official encounter in 2010, when Santos won 4‑0 at the Mangueirão stadium.

Remo, recently promoted back to Série A, is looking to avenge that defeat and revive a historic rivalry, while Santos, coached by Dorival Júnior and featuring prominent players such as Neymar, aims to secure a place in the quarter‑finals and the R$ 4 million prize for the winner.
