During the interruption of Brazilian football to keep the world cup of the Fifa club, between June 15 and July 13, Cruzeiro will participate in Vitória Cup, a friendly tournament that will take place in Cariacica, Espírito Santo. The competition will be characterized by four teams: Cruzeiriro, Sports Railway, Estudiantes and Defense Y Justicia.
The tournament will be held between 2 and 6 July, with matches distributed between Kleber Andrade and Araripe Stadis engineer. As released by the organization, tickets range from R $ 75 (half a ticket), R $ 90 (solidarity, with 1 kg of food) and R $ 150 (complete). The sales points will be announced on the official social networks of the competition. According to Vinicius Domingues, general manager of sport, prices can be reduced in case of support by public institutions.

The clashes have been defined to avoid duels among the clubs in the same country. Therefore, the cruise and sport will not face each other. The debut of the team of Minas Gerais will be against Defensy Y Justicia, Thursday (3 July), at 20h (Brasilia Time), at the Kleber Andrade stadium. Subsequently, Sunday (6 July), at 16h (Brasilia time), the opponent will be Estudiantes, again to Kleber Andrade.
While it will be the first time that Cruzeiriro will measure forces with Defensa Y Justicia, the meeting with Estudiantes brings a story of continental rivalry. Overall, the teams have already faced eight opportunities, with four wins of the Brazilian team, three Argentines and a draw. The most surprising clash took place in the 2009 Copa Libertadores final. At the time, after a 0-0 draw in Argentina, the Argentine team won 2-1 in Mineirão and obtained the title.
In addition to serving as a preparation for the rest of the season, participation in Vitória Cup represents an opportunity for Cruzeiro to observe the performance of his cast during the break in official competitions. The Movement of Espírito Santo also allows greater contact with fans of the region, which usually do not have frequent access to club games.
Finally, the competition presents itself as a rhythmic maintenance alternative for athletes and a possibility of technical observation by the Commission. The presence of foreign opponents contributes to the diversity of the styles addressed, which in the end could be precious in the return to the national calendar.
