A decisão de 1990 colocou frente a frente Flamengo e Goiás, com o título ficando para o Flamengo. Abaixo estão os elencos reais daquela edição — 16 clube(s) e 299 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 1990 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.
Zé Carlos (GK, 70), Júnior (DF, 78), Vitor Hugo (DF, 68), Aílton (DF, 67), Rogério (DF, 66), Piá (MF, 66), Renato Gaúcho (MF, 84), Gaúcho (MF, 64), Bobô (FW, 65), Zinho (MF, 74), Uidemar (FW, 62): named as the starting XI of Flamengo's 1990 Copa do Brasil title run in club-history coverage of the campaign. Júnior was the veteran ex-Brazil left-back near the end of his career but still a clear standout; Renato Gaúcho was at his peak as one of the era's best Brazilian wingers; Zinho was an emerging talent who'd go on to win the 1994 World Cup.

Fernando (FW, 63): scored the only goal of the final (1st leg, 1x0 win in Juiz de Fora) and was sent off in that match — clearly involved in the squad for the final even though not part of the starting XI list above (a rotation/impact forward). Source: pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Final_da_Copa_do_Brasil_de_Futebol_de_19…
Júnior Baiano (DF, 58), Paulo Nunes (FW, 58), Marcelinho Carioca (MF, 57): the Wikipedia article on the 1990 final explicitly names these three as young players "recently promoted from the youth ranks" who were part of Flamengo's squad that campaign, still unknown names at the time — rated as fringe/reserve-level for that specific season since they had not yet broken out (all three became Brazil internationals and Flamengo/Corinthians legends later in the 1990s, well after 1990). Source: pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Final_da_Copa_do_Brasil_de_Futebol_de_19…
Lira (DF, 76): lateral-esquerdo titular do 1º jogo da final e o batedor de faltas/escanteios do time; foi CONVOCADO para a Seleção Brasileira durante a final (por isso desfalcou o 2º jogo) — reconhecimento de nível seleção naquele ano, o mais alto da defesa goiana em 1990. Fonte: sagresonline.com.br/goias-na-decisao-da-copa-do-brasil-em-1990…

Rubens Carlos (DF, 57): lateral-direito reserva que entrou durante a final; profundidade de elenco. Fonte: ficha do jogo (2º jogo, substituições).
Luvanor (MF, 70): meio-campista titular da campanha; jogador de projeção que depois teria carreira relevante (Vasco/Ásia), em 1990 titular sólido do Goiás. Fonte: escalação da final — Wikipédia; ficha do jogo.

Agnaldo (MF, 59): meio-campista reserva que entrou na final; rodízio. Fonte: ficha do jogo (2º jogo, substituições).
Túlio (FW, 78): o grande destaque do Goiás na campanha; artilheiro do Campeonato Brasileiro de 1989 aos 20 anos (11 gols) — o mais jovem a ser artilheiro do Brasileirão — e centroavante titular na final de 1990, aos 21 anos, já com status de estrela emergente de nível seleção. É de longe o OVR mais alto do elenco. Fonte: www.ocuriosodofutebol.com.br/2022/06/tulio-maravilha-e-seu-ini… ; www.ogol.com.br/jogador/tulio-maravilha/42587

Cacau (FW, 57): atacante reserva relacionado para a final (expulso no 1º jogo); profundidade de ataque. Fonte: Wikipédia (final, reservas).
Nota de cobertura: lista montada a partir das escalações dos DOIS jogos da final da Copa do Brasil de 1990 (titulares + reservas que entraram/foram relacionados) mais nomes confirmados na cobertura da campanha. São 16 jogadores verificáveis; não foi possível confirmar com segurança um goleiro reserva nem nomes adicionais do banco das fases anteriores, então foram deixados de fora de propósito (nunca inventados). Túlio e Lira são os pontos altos justificados pela projeção individual daquele ano (artilharia do Brasileirão 89 e convocação à Seleção).
Atlético-MG
Squad list (names, positions, ages) from Transfermarkt's historical squad page for the club's 1990 season: www.transfermarkt.us/clube-atletico-mineiro/kader/verein/330/s… (25 players listed with position/age; no market values exist that far back). A targeted WebSearch for Atlético-MG's specific 1990 Copa do Brasil campaign (round reached, opponents, scorers) returned no usable results — only unrelated 1990 Brasileirão coverage and other-year Copa do Brasil pages came up, so no individual-match data could be confirmed for this run. OVRs are conservative, age/role-based estimates, except where a player's independently documented real-world standing at the club justifies a higher rating.

This is a different, older player who happens to share the name. Rated as an ordinary senior squad midfielder based on age alone, with no inflation from the famous namesake. Source: Transfermarkt.

Mauro Galvão (DF/CB, 27): well-documented Brazil international centre-back who was a first-team fixture at Botafogo through this exact era — rated clearly above the rest of the squad on the strength of his independently verifiable real-world standing, not just age/role. Source: Transfermarkt (age/role) + widely documented career as a Botafogo/Brazil NT defender in this period.
Ricardo Cruz (GK, 25): most experienced keeper by age, presumed starter. Source: Transfermarkt.
Gabriel Vieira (GK, 21), William Bacana (GK, 20): younger backup keepers, conservative rating. Source: Transfermarkt.
Ceará Sporting Club played the 1990 Copa do Brasil: it eliminated River-PI in the first phase (2–2 away, 1–0 home) and was knocked out in the second phase by Náutico (0–0 at home, 0–3 in Recife). Coach: Dimas Figueiras. Transfermarkt has **no** squad page for Ceará in this season (the 1990 roster returns "no information"), so the squad below is reconstructed from the two surviving Copa do Brasil match sheets of the campaign. Every name is taken directly from an official lineup. Primary sources:
Roberval (GK, 63): started both second-phase legs in goal; undisputed No. 1 of the campaign, kept a clean sheet in the 0–0 at home. Source: futibola (both match sheets).
Édson Barros (DF, 61): started both legs in central defence — one of only four outfielders to start both matches. Source: futibola (both).

Coritiba
Coritiba Foot Ball Club in the 1990 Copa do Brasil: eliminated São José-SP in the first phase (2–1 away, 0–0 home), then went out in the second phase to Criciúma (0–1 at home on 08/08, 0–0 away on 12/08). Coach: Paulo César Carpegiani. Transfermarkt has **no** squad page for Coritiba in this season (the roster returns "no information"), so the squad below is reconstructed from the two surviving Copa do Brasil match sheets of the campaign. Every name is taken directly from an official lineup; Carpegiani is excluded as he is the manager. Primary sources:
Gerson (GK, 66): started both legs in goal, conceding only one goal across the tie. Undisputed No. 1. Source: futibola (both match sheets).

Ricardo Lúcio (FW, 60): named substitute attacker in the first leg. Source: futibola (08/08).
Criciúma
Criciúma Esporte Clube had the best Cup run of its history to that point in 1990: it beat Internacional (0–1 away, 2–0 home), Coritiba (1–0 away, 0–0 home) and São Paulo (2–0 at home) before losing the semi-final tie to Goiás (1–0 home, 0–1 away, eliminated). The following year the same core, under the same coach, won the 1991 Copa do Brasil. Coach: João Francisco (excluded from the player list — he is tagged as a midfielder on two futibola sheets, but the 08/08 sheet correctly lists him as manager and the 11 outfield/goalkeeper names are complete without him). Transfermarkt has no 1990 squad page for the club, so this squad is reconstructed from four surviving Copa do Brasil match sheets. Every name comes from an official lineup. Primary sources:
Alexandre (GK, 69): started three of the four sheets in goal (Coritiba home and away, São Paulo), conceding once in three matches. Source: futibola (08/08, 12/08, 22/08).
Marola (GK, 65): started in goal in the semi-final first leg against Goiás and kept a clean sheet — genuine second keeper who took over late in the run. Source: futibola (12/09).

Alaércio (MF, 61): named substitute midfielder against São Paulo only — bench player. Source: futibola (22/08).

Grizzo (FW, 68): started all four matches in attack. Source: futibola (all four).
Adílson Gomes (FW, 68): started all four matches in attack. Source: futibola (all four).
Jairo Lenzi (FW, 66): substitute in three matches but decisive — scored the second goal against São Paulo (83') and the winner in the semi-final first leg against Goiás. Super-sub rating. Source: futibola (12/08, 22/08, 12/09).
Vanderlei (FW, 65): started against Coritiba (08/08) and Goiás (12/09) in attack. Source: futibola (08/08, 12/09).

Mazaropi (GK, 35): almost certainly the real, well-documented Grêmio legend — starting goalkeeper of the club's 1983 Copa Libertadores and Intercontinental Cup-winning side, who played into the early 1990s. Age/era match his real documented career — rated clearly above the rest of the squad on that basis. Source: Transfermarkt (age/role) + widely documented career as Grêmio's title-winning keeper of that era.
Cuca (MF/AM, 25): name matches the player who later became a prominent Brazilian football coach (Adilson Batista "Cuca"), who is documented as having played for Grêmio in this period — however the listed age (25 in 1990) doesn't cleanly match his known birth year, so identity is treated as plausible but not certain. Rated as a solid regular starter without assuming full confirmation of the later coaching career. Source: Transfermarkt.
Biro Biro (MF/AM, 21): NOTE — this is NOT the famous Corinthians/Grêmio winger Antônio Roberto Andrade "Biro-Biro" of the Democracia Corinthiana era, who would have been about 32 years old in 1990. This is a different, much younger player who happens to share the nickname. Rated as an ordinary young squad midfielder based on age alone, no inflation from the famous namesake. Source: Transfermarkt.
Edinho (DF/CB, 33): oldest outfield defender, senior presence; not assumed to be any other more famous player of the same name. Source: Transfermarkt.
Alfinete (DF/RB, 27), Luis Eduardo (DF/CB, 27), Jandir (MF/DM, 27), Lino (MF/DM, 31): senior regulars by age. Source: Transfermarkt.

Assis (MF/AM, 17): youngest squad member overall, most conservative rating. Source: Transfermarkt.
Náutico
Squad list (names, positions, ages) from Transfermarkt's historical squad page for the club's 1990 season: www.transfermarkt.us/clube-nautico-capibaribe/kader/verein/264… (18 players listed with position/age; no market values exist that far back; page states a nominal squad size of 30 but only 18 are individually listed — no other names could be found for the remainder). No individual-match data for Náutico's specific 1990 Copa do Brasil run could be found, so every OVR here is a conservative, age/role-based estimate.
Operário Futebol Clube (Campo Grande-MS) in the 1990 Copa do Brasil: won the all-Centre-West first-phase tie against Mixto-MT (2–0 at home on 22/06, 0–1 in Cuiabá on 27/06) and was then eliminated by Goiás in the second phase (0–1 at home on 11/07, 0–5 in Goiânia on 15/07). Coach: José Flor (excluded from the player list). Transfermarkt has no squad page for this club, so the squad below is reconstructed entirely from the surviving Copa do Brasil match sheet of the second leg against Mixto.

Remo
Clube do Remo (Belém-PA) in the 1990 Copa do Brasil: eliminated Moto Clube-MA in the first phase (1–1 away, 1–1 home), knocked out Santa Cruz in the second phase (0–0 at the Arruda, 1–0 at home on 10/08) and was beaten in the quarter-finals by Náutico (3–1 win at home on 29/08, 0–4 in Recife on 05/09). Coach: Paulinho de Almeida (excluded from the player list — tagged "TEC" on both sheets).

Rio Negro-AM
Rio Negro Clube (Manaus-AM) in the 1990 Copa do Brasil: lost the first leg 0–1 to Juventus-AC on 22/06, then won 1–0 at home on 27/06 (Bismark, 65') and advanced; it was eliminated in the second phase by Atlético-MG (0–1 at home on 11/07, 0–2 in Belo Horizonte on 15/07). Coach: Dutra (excluded from the player list). Transfermarkt has no squad page for this club, so the squad below is reconstructed entirely from the surviving Copa do Brasil match sheet of the decisive home leg against Juventus-AC.

Santa Cruz
Santa Cruz Futebol Clube (Recife-PE) in the 1990 Copa do Brasil: beat América-RN 3–1 in the first phase, then was eliminated by Remo in the second phase (0–0 at the Arruda on 11/07, 0–1 in Belém on 10/08). Coach: Erandir Montenegro (excluded from the player list — tagged "TEC" on both sheets).

São Paulo
Squad list (names, positions, ages) from Transfermarkt's historical squad page for the club's 1990 season: www.transfermarkt.us/sao-paulo-futebol-clube/kader/verein/585/… (29 players listed with position/age; no market values exist that far back). This squad includes several real, independently well-documented players from this exact club and era, so multiple ratings here draw on verified real-world career standing rather than pure age/role estimates.

Como cada nível foi definido
Zetti (GK, 23): the real, well-documented Brazil international goalkeeper who was São Paulo's starter through this era. Source: Transfermarkt (age/role) + widely documented career.
Raí (MF/AM, 23): the real Raí, already an established creative playmaker at São Paulo at this point in his career — he would go on to captain Brazil's 1994 World Cup-winning squad and later join PSG. Rated as a clear standout, reflecting his genuine standing in 1990, not his later career peak. Source: Transfermarkt (age/role) + widely documented career.
Juan Ramón Carrasco (MF/AM, 32): the real Uruguayan international playmaker, an established veteran at this stage of his career. Source: Transfermarkt (age/role) + documented international career.
Ricardo Rocha (DF/CB, 26): the real Ricardo Rocha, a Brazil international centre-back who would be part of Brazil's 1994 World Cup-winning squad — already an established starter at this point. Source: Transfermarkt (age/role) + documented career.
Cafu (DF/RB, 18): the real Cafu, at the very start of his career at São Paulo — rated as a promising young talent breaking into the first team, explicitly NOT at the level of his much later career peak (Brazil captain, multiple World Cups, Roma/Milan). Source: Transfermarkt (age/role) + documented early career at São Paulo.
Leonardo (MF/AM, 19): the real Leonardo (Leonardo Araújo), also early in his São Paulo career before his later moves to Brazil's national team and AC Milan — rated as a promising young talent, not his later peak. Source: Transfermarkt (age/role) + documented early career.
Antônio Carlos Zago (DF/CB, 19): the real Zago, early in his career before a long spell at Roma and the Brazil national team — rated as a promising young defender, not his later peak. Source: Transfermarkt (age/role) + documented early career.
Ronaldão (DF/CB, 23): a Brazilian centre-back of this era; rated as a solid regular-age starter. Source: Transfermarkt.
Diego Aguirre (FW/CF, 23): Uruguayan forward, later a well-known coach; rated as a moderate regular-age forward reflecting his playing career at this stage. Source: Transfermarkt (age/role) + general recognition.
Gilmar (GK, 29): backup keeper by age; not assumed to be the much older, historically famous 1958/1962 World Cup-winning Brazil keeper of the same name (who was already retired and would have been in his late 50s by 1990). Source: Transfermarkt.
Paulo de Melo (MF, 17), Elivélton (MF/AM, 17): teenage squad members, most conservative rating. Source: Transfermarkt.
Vítor (DF/RB, 16), Emerson (FW/CF, 15): youngest squad members overall (the latter would go on to a much later career under a more common "Emerson" name at São Paulo — not assumed to be any specific later player given the ambiguity), rated at the lowest end of the scale for their age. Source: Transfermarkt.
Taguatinga
Taguatinga Esporte Clube (Taguatinga-DF) in the 1990 Copa do Brasil: eliminated Vitória in the first phase (1–0 at home on 22/06) and then went out to Flamengo in the second phase — 0–2 in Rio on 10/07 and a creditable 1–1 at home on 15/07, Chiquinho equalising in the 89th minute against a Flamengo side featuring Renato Gaúcho, Zinho, Leonardo and Alcindo.

Every name comes from that official lineup. Primary sources:
Deo (GK, 59): started in goal in the 1–1 against Flamengo, conceding only once to an attack containing Renato Gaúcho, Leonardo and Alcindo — the squad's joint-best performance. (Same goalkeeper who kept goal for Tiradentes-DF in the 1989 Cup.) Source: futibola (15/07 match sheet).
