A decisão de 1989 colocou frente a frente Grêmio e Sport, com o título ficando para o Grêmio. Abaixo estão os elencos reais daquela edição — 16 clube(s) e 306 jogadores levantados um a um, com o nível de cada jogador justificado para aquela temporada específica e a fonte da informação.
Este levantamento existe porque o Copaverso — um simulador gratuito onde você reescreve as finais — só usa dados reais. Um jogador de 1989 não recebe aqui o nível do auge da carreira dele: recebe o nível que tinha naquele ano, que é o que faz cada edição parecer diferente da seguinte. Onde não foi possível confirmar a presença de um jogador, ele fica de fora, e a lacuna é declarada na nota de cobertura do clube.
Mazaropi (GK, 70): first-choice and only keeper used across the whole campaign (played both legs of every tie including the final), captained the 1983 Libertadores-winning squad — by 1989 a respected veteran rather than peak-level, but still commanding the No.1 shirt of an invincible title run.

Gérson (FW, 78): the tournament's outright top scorer with 7 goals for Atlético in the 1989 Copa do Brasil (11 gols overall per the competition summary) — clearly the standout attacking piece of the campaign. Source: galodigital.com.br (Artilheiros do Galo table) + Transfermarkt (age 22, Centre-Forward that season).
Robertinho (FW, 72): 2nd-highest scorer for the club in this Cup run with 2 goals; experienced 27yo forward. Source: galodigital.com.br scorers table + Transfermarkt.
Éder (FW, 70): veteran left winger (30yo that season); likely the same player logged in the scorers list as "Éder Aleixo" (1 goal) — role/name match is plausible but not 100% certain, OVR kept moderate to reflect that uncertainty rather than overstating it. Source: Transfermarkt (age/position) + galodigital.com.br scorers table (tentative name match).
Mauricinho (FW, 68): scored in the campaign per the club's scorer list (1 goal), used as a right-winger that season. Source: galodigital.com.br + Transfermarkt.
Marquinhos (MF, 68): attacking midfielder, scored 1 goal in the campaign per the club's scorer list. Source: galodigital.com.br + Transfermarkt.
Wallace Mineiro (MF, 64): scored 1 goal in the campaign per the club's scorer list (matches "Wallace" in that table); 19yo squad midfielder that season. Source: galodigital.com.br + Transfermarkt.
Aílton (FW, 65): scored 1 goal in the campaign per the club's scorer list ("Aílton Delfino"); 19yo young forward. Source: galodigital.com.br + Transfermarkt.
Paulo Sérgio (DF, 74): 18yo centre-back, already regarded as one of Brazilian football's best young defensive prospects that year (would go on to win the Bola de Prata as a revelation) — a standout even though no Cup-specific stat line was found. Source: Transfermarkt (age/position) + general 1989-season coverage confirming his breakout status.
Batista (DF, 66), Flávio Marcos (DF, 64), Paulo Roberto (DF, 63), Carlão (DF, 62), Luís Cláudio (DF, 58): regular squad defenders per the Transfermarkt 1989 roster; no individual Cup match data found, so OVR is a conservative estimate from age/role within a quarterfinalist squad, not invented statistics. Source: Transfermarkt.
Eder Lopes (MF, 63), Moacir (MF, 52), Altivo (MF, 54): midfield squad players per the Transfermarkt roster (17–22yo); no individual Cup data found — conservative role-based OVR. Source: Transfermarkt.
Jason (FW, 62), Saulo Freitas (FW, 58): squad forwards per the Transfermarkt roster with no individual Cup scoring data found — conservative role-based OVR. Source: Transfermarkt.
Rômulo (GK, 66), Mauricio (GK, 64): the two goalkeepers listed for the 1989 squad; no specific match-by-match starter confirmation found, kept close in rating since neither could be confirmed as clearly first-choice. Source: Transfermarkt.
Bahia
Squad list (names, positions, ages) from Transfermarkt's historical squad page for the club's 1989 season: www.transfermarkt.us/esporte-clube-bahia/kader/verein/10010/sa… (26 players listed with position/age; no market values exist that far back). Competition context: Bahia reached the quarterfinals of the inaugural 1989 Copa do Brasil, eliminated by eventual champions Grêmio (lost both legs, 0-2 away / 0-1 home, no goals scored in the tie) — per search results citing atarde.com.br and ecbahia.com historical coverage of the club's Copa do Brasil quarterfinal record against Grêmio. No individual player stat line (goals/assists) for Bahia's 1989 Cup run could be found in any source checked, so no player is credited with campaign-specific heroics here.

Tarantini (DF, 64), Wagner Basílio (DF, 65), Newmar (DF, 63), Claudir (DF, 62), Paulo Róbson (DF, 63): regular-age (26-30) squad defenders: OVR estimated from age/role for a mid-table (5th-place) Brasileirão side that reached the Cup's quarterfinal without conceding many — no individual match data found. Source: Transfermarkt.
João Marcelo (DF, 58), Mailson (DF, 54): younger squad defenders (21 and 19yo) — conservative rating reflecting inexperience, no stats found. Source: Transfermarkt.
Osmar (MF, 68), Bobô (MF, 66), Zé Carlos (MF, 64): the three attacking midfielders (25/26/22yo) on the roster, rated as the more advanced/creative players of the middle third. Source: Transfermarkt (role only — no individual stats found).
Paulo Rodrigues (MF, 65): 27yo defensive midfielder, senior presence in the double-pivot. Source: Transfermarkt.
Adnaildo (MF, 48), Gil Baiano (MF, 46): very young squad midfielders (17 and 16yo that season) — low rating reflecting inexperience, not a judgment on talent, since no match involvement was confirmed. Source: Transfermarkt.
Marquinhos (FW, 68): 25yo second striker, rated as the most advanced attacking threat on the list given the "Second Striker" role tag. Source: Transfermarkt.
Sandro (FW, 64), Luís Fernando Flores (FW, 63), Ronaldo Silva (FW, 62), Silva (FW, 61): centre-forwards/strikers in the 23-25yo range — no individual scoring data found for the 1989 Cup, conservative role-based rating consistent with a team that failed to score across the QF tie.

Charles (FW, 56): 19yo young forward, lowest-rated attacker reflecting inexperience. Source: Transfermarkt.
Blumenau
Blumenau (Santa Catarina) played its only-ever Copa do Brasil campaign in 1989, qualifying as 1988 Campeonato Catarinense runner-up, and was eliminated in the second phase by Flamengo. No Transfermarkt historical squad page exists for this club (too small/short-lived to be indexed with a full season roster), so the squad below is reconstructed entirely from match reports and a period team photo caption — deliberately smaller than the 18-26 target because that is the true extent of what could be verified. Starting XI, second leg vs Flamengo at the Maracanã (29/07/1989, lost, eliminated on aggregate) — via WebSearch summary of ogol.com.br / playmakerstats.com match record (id 652575) and clickriomafra.com.br retrospective: "Blumenau: Leandro, Alaércio, Silva, Gassem, Sidney; Derval, Serginho (Itamar); Osmair, Mirandinha, Cesar Paulista, Cide (Veneza)."

Zé Antonio (MF, 48), Márcio (MF, 46): squad players named in the team photo caption but not in the confirmed Maracanã starting XI — kept as lower-rated reserves; position for Márcio is uncertain (no confirmed match involvement), assigned MF as the most conservative guess consistent with the source not disputing it.

Squad list (names, positions, ages) from Transfermarkt's historical squad page for the club's 1989 season: www.transfermarkt.us/ec-cruzeiro-belo-horizonte/kader/verein/6… (21 players listed with position/age; no market values exist that far back). One listed entry, "Luiz Gustavo, Striker, age 15," was excluded as implausible for a first-team Cup squad that year (almost certainly a data-entry artifact for a youth player) — per the "never fabricate / don't pad with names you can't rate" rule, he is left out rather than rated. Competition context: Cruzeiro debuted in the first Copa do Brasil (1989) as 1988 Campeonato Mineiro runner-up (Atlético-MG were state champions and the other Minas entrant), under new coach Ênio Andrade (hired ten days before the tournament). Cruzeiro was eliminated in the round of 16. Source: search summary citing lance.com.br / cruzeiropedia.org coverage of the club's 1989 Cup run — the exact round-of-16 opponent is left unstated here because search sources gave conflicting details on it; only the confirmed elimination stage is used for calibration, not a disputed opponent name.

Squad list (names, positions, ages) from Transfermarkt's historical squad page for the club's 1989 season: www.transfermarkt.us/flamengo-rio-de-janeiro/kader/verein/614/… (32 players listed with position/age; no market values exist that far back). 25 of the 32 are used here — a representative first-team squad prioritizing players confirmed in actual 1989 Cup match lineups plus established senior starters, trimming the most peripheral teenage fringe names (Malhado, Piá Carioca, Paulo Cruz, Marquinhos, Sérgio Araújo, Nando, and a second "Zé Carlos" defender entry that duplicates the goalkeeper's name and could not be disambiguated) rather than inventing ratings for names with zero supporting context. Confirmed match involvement (round of 16 vs Blumenau, both legs; quarterfinal vs Corinthians) via WebSearch summaries of match reports (ogol.com.br id 652575, meutimao.com.br): Flamengo's XI at the Maracanã included "Cantarele" (GK — matches the roster's starting keeper "Zé Carlos" by role), Leandro, Márcio Rossini, Rogério, Leonardo (defense), Marquinhos/Marcelinho, Aílton, Zico (midfield), Alcindo, Bujica, Zinho (forward). Goals across the Blumenau tie: Zico, Nando, Alcindo (leg 1); Bujica (2) and Zinho (leg 2). Flamengo then eliminated Corinthians in the quarterfinal on away goals (2-0 away, 2-4 loss at home, 4-4 aggregate) before being eliminated themselves later in the tournament (Grêmio were the eventual 1989 champions).

Marcelinho Carioca (MF, 52), Júnior Baiano (DF, 52): 16-17yo squad members who would both go on to long professional careers (Marcelinho Carioca: journeyman Brazilian league star; Júnior Baiano: 1998 World Cup squad) — rated low here to reflect their true 1989 fringe status, not their later peak. Source: Transfermarkt.
Rogério Lourenço (DF, 46): 16yo, confirmed as part of the Blumenau leg-2 starting defense despite being the youngest player on the sheet — rated very conservatively given his age and thin documented career. Source: Transfermarkt + match lineup.
Goiás
Squad list (names, positions, ages) from Transfermarkt's historical squad page for the club's 1989 season: www.transfermarkt.us/goias-ec/kader/verein/3197/saison_id/1988 (21 players listed with position/age; no market values exist that far back). Competition context: Goiás (a Série B side that season, per the Transfermarkt header) had a standout run in the inaugural 1989 Copa do Brasil, beating Atlético-MG in the quarterfinal (won 3-0 away, lost 0-2 home, 3-2 aggregate — cross-checked against Atlético-MG's own campaign log on galodigital.com.br) before being eliminated by Sport Recife in the semifinal.

Túlio Maravilha (FW, 74): 18yo centre-forward on the 1989 roster — later became one of the most prolific goalscorers in Brazilian football history. Rated as a clear standout prospect already showing at this age, without overstating his (much later) peak level. Source: Transfermarkt (age/role) + widely documented later career as justification for treating him as the roster's most talented name.
Eduardo Heuser (GK, 66): 24yo, only keeper listed, presumed starter for a side that went on a deep Cup run. Source: Transfermarkt.
Gomes (DF, 65): 31yo centre-back, most experienced defender on the list. Source: Transfermarkt.
Ronaldo Castro (DF, 63), Walter (DF, 62), Walaci Carioca (DF, 61), Jorge Batata (DF, 60): regular-age (24-26yo) defenders — a side that reached the semifinal needed a solid back line; conservative role-based rating, no individual match data found. Source: Transfermarkt.
Squad list (names, positions, ages) from Transfermarkt's historical squad page for the club's 1988/89 season: www.transfermarkt.us/guarani-futebol-clube-sp-/kader/verein/17… (21 players listed with position/age; no market values exist that far back). No individual-match data for Guarani's specific 1989 Copa do Brasil run could be found in the sources checked (only unrelated, much more recent Guarani Copa do Brasil coverage turned up in search), so OVR here is derived from age/role and each player's real, documented standing in Brazilian football of that era where known — never from invented Cup statistics.

João Leite (GK, 76): 32yo, a genuinely well-known Brazilian goalkeeper of the 1980s who represented the Brazilian national team (best known for his Atlético-MG career) — rated as the clear standout on this roster given his real, documented pedigree, independent of any specific 1989 Guarani Cup stat. Source: Transfermarkt (age/role) + general recognition as a period Brazilian international goalkeeper.
Zenon (MF, 74): 33yo, a recognized former Grêmio and Brazil national-team midfielder from the early-1980s golden Grêmio generation, by 1989 a veteran squad player at Guarani. Source: Transfermarkt (age/role) + general recognition as a period Brazilian international.
Cristóvão Borges (MF, 64): 28yo central midfielder who later became a well-known Brazilian head coach — rated as a solid, experienced player. Source: Transfermarkt.
Vagner Mancini (MF, 60): 21yo defensive midfielder who also later became a prominent Brazilian coach — rated as a promising young player at this stage of his career, not yet a standout. Source: Transfermarkt.
Washington (FW, 62), Formiga (FW, 60), Tato (FW, 58): the three forwards (23-27yo), no individual stats found — conservative role-based rating. Source: Transfermarkt.

Internacional
Squad list (names, positions, ages) from Transfermarkt's historical squad page for the club's 1989 season: www.transfermarkt.us/sc-internacional/kader/verein/6600/saison… (33 players listed with position/age; no market values exist that far back). 21 of the 33 are used here — a representative first-team squad trimming the youngest/most peripheral fringe names (Júlio César, 16yo; Paulo Afonso, 19yo; Dacroce, 19yo; and several attacking-line duplicates: Ado, Mauricio, Nilson, Luís Fernando Flores, Nélson Bertollazzi, Marcelo Vita, João Carlos, César Silva) rather than inventing ratings for names with no supporting context. No individual-match data for Internacional's specific 1989 Copa do Brasil run could be found in the sources checked, so OVR is derived from age/role and each player's real, independently documented standing where applicable — never from invented Cup statistics.

Cláudio Taffarel (GK, 78): 21yo, would go on to become Brazil's World Cup-winning goalkeeper (1994) and one of the most capped Brazilian players ever — already Internacional's goalkeeper at this age, the clear standout of this roster. Source: Transfermarkt (age/role) + widely documented later career.
Óscar Aguirregaray (DF, 72): 28yo Uruguayan centre-back, a foreign international-caliber veteran on the roster. Source: Transfermarkt.
Diego Aguirre (FW, 68): 22yo Uruguayan forward who went on to a long playing and (later) coaching career recognized in South American football — rated above the pure squad-filler baseline for that reason. Source: Transfermarkt (age/role) + general recognition of his later career.
Edu Lima (FW, 60), Edmundo (FW, 60), Roberto Carlos (FW, 58): forwards in their early-to-mid 20s. IMPORTANT: these two are NOT the later-famous Edmundo "O Animal" (b. 1971) or Roberto Carlos the left-back (b. 1973) — both of those players were teenagers in 1989, while this roster's Edmundo (25) and Roberto Carlos (22) are different, contemporaneous Internacional squad players who happen to share the same common Brazilian names. Rated conservatively as ordinary squad forwards, explicitly not benefiting from the famous namesakes' reputations. Source: Transfermarkt (age/role, cross-checked against the famous players' known birth years).
Mixto
Mixto Esporte Clube (Cuiabá-MT) took part in the inaugural Copa do Brasil in 1989. Two full match lineups from that campaign were used to build this squad — no player here is unverified. Primary sources (match sheets with starting XIs):
Nikita (GK, 55): started both matches in goal; conceded 5 against Grêmio but was the undisputed No. 1 of the campaign. Source: futibola (both match sheets).
Wágner (DF, 53): started both matches in defence. Source: futibola (both).
Panzarielo (DF, 53): started both matches at centre-back. Source: futibola (both).
Donizete (DF, 52): started both matches in defence. Source: futibola (both).
Elias (DF, 52): started both matches as full-back ("lateral" in the Pinheiros sheet). Source: futibola (both).
Dago (MF, 54): started both matches in midfield; regular in the engine room. Source: futibola (both).
Genildo (MF, 53): started both matches in midfield. Source: futibola (both).
Rui (MF, 52): started both matches in midfield. Source: futibola (both).
Franz (MF, 52): started both matches, listed as attack vs Pinheiros and in a supporting role vs Grêmio. Source: futibola (both).
Silvinho (MF, 48): listed only as a substitute vs Pinheiros — bench player, hence the lowest rating in the squad. Source: futibola (Pinheiros match sheet).
Benevan (FW, 56): started both matches as the side's main forward in the 2–1 win over Pinheiros; the squad's highest rating as the leading attacker. Source: futibola (both).
Niltinho (FW, 53): started the Pinheiros match in attack. Source: futibola (Pinheiros match sheet).
Náutico
Squad list (names, positions, ages) from Transfermarkt's historical squad page for the club's 1989 season: www.transfermarkt.us/nautico/kader/verein/2646/saison_id/1988 (21 players listed with position/age; no market values exist that far back). Competition context: Náutico-PE faced Atlético-MG in the round of 16, drawing 1-1 away before losing 0-3 at home (per Atlético-MG's own campaign log on galodigital.com.br, cross-referenced from the earlier Atlético-MG batch), eliminated 4-1 on aggregate. No individual Náutico player stat line was found for the tie.

Tiradentes
Tiradentes Esporte Clube (Brasília-DF) reached the round of 16 of the first Copa do Brasil in 1989: it knocked out Atlético Goianiense in the first phase (1–0 home, 0–0 away), then stunned Corinthians 1–0 at the Mané Garrincha on 29/07/1989 before being eliminated 5–0 in the return leg in São Paulo. Primary sources (match sheet with the full starting XI):
Deo (GK, 58): kept a clean sheet against a Corinthians attack containing Neto and Viola in the 1–0 win — the standout individual performance of the tie. Source: futibola / meutimao match sheet.
Beto Guarapari (DF, 58): started at the back and scored the winning goal at 59' against Corinthians; joint-highest rating in the squad on the strength of that result. Source: meutimao ficha técnica (goal at 59'), futibola.
Aquino (DF, 55): started at centre-back in the round-of-16 first leg. Source: futibola / meutimao.

Régis (FW, 54): started in attack in the round-of-16 first leg. Source: futibola / meutimao.
Dário (FW, 52): listed among the twelve names on the futibola match sheet for the round-of-16 first leg, but absent from the meutimao XI — rated lowest as a fringe/rotation attacker. Source: futibola.
Vasco
Squad list (names, positions, ages) from Transfermarkt's historical squad page for the club's 1989 season: www.transfermarkt.us/cr-vasco-da-gama/kader/verein/978/saison_… (21 players listed with position/age; no market values exist that far back). One listed player, Bebeto (23, Centre-Forward), is deliberately excluded here: he is already used in the Flamengo__1989 entry (his long-documented club before this exact 1989 season) and Transfermarkt's squad snapshot appears to catch him mid-transfer between the two clubs — to avoid crediting the same real player to two different Copa do Brasil squads in the same edition, he is kept at Flamengo and not duplicated here. No individual-match data for Vasco's specific 1989 Cup run could be found in the sources checked, so OVR is derived from age/role and independently documented identity where applicable.

Tita (MF, 74): 29yo attacking midfielder, a recognized Brazilian international playmaker of that era (Vasco/Flamengo/Seleção) — rated as the clear senior standout on this roster. Source: Transfermarkt (age/role) + general recognition as a period Brazilian international.
Sonny Anderson (FW, 66): 17yo centre-forward who would go on to a long career culminating at Barcelona and with the French national team — rated as a clear young talent without overstating his (much later) peak. Source: Transfermarkt (age/role) + widely documented later career.
Mazinho (MF, 62): 21yo defensive midfielder; the name matches a player who would later represent Brazil at the 1994 World Cup, though exact identity match across sources is not certain — rated as a promising young player rather than assuming full confirmation of that later career. Source: Transfermarkt.
Andrade (MF, 63): 30yo, oldest midfielder on the roster, senior holding presence. Source: Transfermarkt.
Zé do Carmo (MF, 60), Tato (MF, 60): regular-age (26yo) midfielders. Source: Transfermarkt.
Luiz Carlos Winck (DF, 58): 24yo right-back. NOTE: a player of the same name and same age also appears on Internacional's 1989 Transfermarkt roster — likely a data overlap between the two clubs' historical squad snapshots (transfer-window timing or a Transfermarkt indexing quirk), not two different real people. Kept here as listed without resolving the ambiguity further. Source: Transfermarkt.
Marco Aurélio (DF, 55), Boiadeiro (MF, 56), Celio Silva (DF, 53), Sorato (FW, 52): regular young squad players (18-22yo), conservative rating, no individual stats found. Source: Transfermarkt.

No individual-match data for Vitória's specific 1989 Copa do Brasil run could be found in the sources checked, so OVR is a conservative, age/role-based estimate throughout — no player is credited with campaign statistics that could not be verified.
