Palmeiras, fresh off a Campeonato Paulista win, is bracing for a challenging season with Libertadores, Copa do Brasil, and Campeonato Brasileiro on their plate.

He pinpointed six teams – Internacional, Flamengo, Botafogo, Atlético-MG, and potentially a surprise team like last year’s Red Bull Bragantino – as main competitors.
“We’re not the favorites,” Ferreira stated emphatically. “But rest assured, we’ll fiercely defend our title.” This clarity in focus signals Palmeiras’ readiness to tackle the Brasileirão, starting with their opening match against Vitória this Sunday at 6:30 PM, Brasília time.
Ferreira’s words echo a battle cry of Palmeiras’ commitment to fight for supremacy in Brazilian football.
