Vasco da Gama’s women’s cup tie moved to Volta Redonda as club battles court‑ordered intervention

The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) approved Vasco da Gama’s request to relocate its Copa do Brasil Feminina round‑of‑16 match against São Paulo to the Estádio Raulino de Oliveira in Volta Redonda. The single‑leg fixture will be played on 21 July at 21:45 BRT, with the winner advancing to the quarter‑finals.

On 9 July 2026, the two appeals filed by Vasco concerning the judicial intervention in its football‑company structure (SAF) were transferred to the 20th Chamber of Private Law of the Rio de Janeiro State Court. The transfer temporarily halted the club’s request for an urgent suspensive effect, leaving the intervention ordered by Judge Simone Chevrand in place and appointing lawyer Athos de Andrade Figueira Neves as the new interventor. Vasco argues that the dispute with 777 Carioca should be decided in the FGV Arbitration Chamber, cites lack of contradicory in the unilateral removal of president Pedrinho, and points to operational disarray caused by the intervention.
