Botafogo has won the US Open under the command of Nilton Santos for the last four years and is looking to do something new this year.
Botafogo would participate in an international competition in Nilton Santos four years later. The club's last game at the stadium was in 2019, when Athleticanos beat Alvinegros 1-0, with a goal from Vinícius, in the round of 16 of the South American Championship. Glorioso was going through a turbulent period at the time, but this time they are coming with confidence. Luis Castro's team has gone eight games without losing and can add their fourth consecutive victory, something they have not achieved so far this season. + Rogério Ceni leaves São Paulo: see 25 free Brazilian coaches in the football market
