About the Match
The match is set for February 20th, and the CBF is already planning a public showcase and is on the verge of moving the game out of Brazil.
According to Itatiaia radio, the CBF attempted to bring the match to the United States, specifically Orlando, where there is a huge Brazilian community. According to the Minas Gerais board, both clubs rejected the offer and instead chose to hold the match on national land to make logistics easier.
The game is expected to be held in the Mané Garrincha in Brasilia, as it has been in recent years, however, no formal announcement has been made. The payout, which has yet to be determined, is expected to be R$5 million ($870,000) for the winning team and R$2 million ($350,000) for the runner-up.
