Botafogo will participate in the first final of the SAF era and Taka Rio will gain importance for future goals.
Even though the Taça Rio is a kind of “consolation prize” (teams that finish between 5th and 8th in Carioca), the competition title will gain importance for Botafogo, as it is a valuable place in the Copa do Brasil 2024, one of the tournaments most awarded in the country. Despite the lower weight, Alvinegro will play its first final under the auspices of the SAF. Announced in March last year to lead the team, Luís Castro has not yet played in any final for Glorioso. The coach declared in December last year that one of his main objectives at the club was to lift trophies. + Eliminated from Globo, Cléber Machado ends Record: preview of the sports press game in 2023
