The FC Series is an extension of the Florida Cup, a competition in which Sao Paulo played twice, in 2017 and 2019, and which it won the last time. In addition to Tricolor and Cruzeiro, Atlético-MG is also confirmed in the competition.
The Libertadores can accelerate Sao Paulo’s pre-season
However, one factor could accelerate Sao Paulo’s pre-season. This is because the Tricolore is still fighting for a place in the next edition of the Libertadores. If they finish in the top four of the Brazilian championship, they will directly enter the group stage. However, if they finish fifth or sixth, they will still compete in two qualifying rounds. These games will occur sooner, causing the Sovereign’s schedule to change.
