A decisão de 1991 colocou frente a frente Criciúma e Grêmio, com o título ficando para o Criciúma. Abaixo estão os elencos reais daquela edição — 16 clube(s) e 334 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 1991 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.

Gérson (FW/CF, 24): the club's proven top scorer across the 1989 and 1990 seasons (already the standout forward in both prior entries) — rated clearly above the rest of the squad on the strength of that independently documented real-world form continuing into 1991.

Carlos Gallo (GK, 33): oldest keeper, presumed first-choice by experience, consistent with his role in the 1990 entry. Source: Transfermarkt.
Squad list (names, positions, ages) from Transfermarkt's historical squad page for the club's 1991 season: www.transfermarkt.us/botafogo-de-futebol-e-regatas/kader/verei… (23 players listed with position/age; no market values exist that far back). One listed entry, Sandro Leite Coelho (Midfielder, age 13), is excluded here as implausibly young for a first-team Cup squad — likely a Transfermarkt youth-team data artifact, not usable without inventing a plausible role. No individual-match data for Botafogo's specific 1991 Copa do Brasil run could be found, so OVR is derived from age/role and independently documented identity where applicable.

SER Caxias (Caxias do Sul-RS) in the 1991 Copa do Brasil: eliminated XV de Piracicaba in the first phase (2–1 at home on 14/02, 1–1 away on 28/02) and was then knocked out by Goiás (1–1 at home on 10/03).

Mirandinha (FW/CF, 30): the real, well-documented Brazilian international striker (Newcastle United's first Brazilian player in the English top flight), who returned to Brazil and played for Corinthians in this exact period. Rated clearly above the rest of the squad on the strength of his independently verifiable real-world standing. Source: Transfermarkt (age/role) + widely documented career.
Neto (MF/AM, 23): matches the real Neto (Ataliba Nogueira, later a well-known football commentator), who is documented as a Corinthians playmaker in this exact period — rated as a clear standout attacking midfielder on that basis. Source: Transfermarkt (age/role) + documented career at the club in this era.
Paulo Sérgio (FW/RW, 20): matches the real Paulo Sérgio, who started his career at Corinthians around this age before later stints with Bayer Leverkusen, Bayern Munich and the Brazil national team — rated as a promising young talent breaking into the first team, explicitly not at his later career peak.

Coritiba's best Cup run of the era: past CSA on penalties (1–0 home 27/02, 3–1 on pens; 1–0 on 27/03), past Paysandu (3–0 on 13/03, 0–0 in Belém on 21/03) and past Botafogo (3–0 at home on 18/04, 1–1 in Rio on 25/04) before losing the semi-final to Grêmio (1–1 at home on 22/05, 0–1 in Porto Alegre on 25/05). Coaches recorded across the run: Levir Culpi and Sérgio Ramirez (both excluded from the player list — they appear tagged as "Coach"/"TEC" on the futibola sheets). Transfermarkt has no 1991 squad page for the club, so the squad below is reconstructed from the three surviving Copa do Brasil match sheets. Every name comes from an official lineup. Primary sources:
Luís Henrique (GK, 68): started all three retrieved matches in goal, including the clean sheets at Paysandu and against Botafogo. Undisputed No. 1. Source: futibola (all three).

Paulo Isidoro (MF/AM, 16): NOTE — this is NOT the club legend Paulo Isidoro, hero of Cruzeiro's 1976 Libertadores/Intercontinental campaign, who would have been about 36-37 years old in 1990-91, not 16. This is either a different, unrelated young player who happens to share the name, or a Transfermarkt data artifact. Included but rated at the floor of the scale given the implausibility of a 16-year-old in a first-team Cup squad and the lack of any way to verify the entry further. Source: Transfermarkt.
Luiz Gustavo (FW/Striker, 17): appeared on the prior season's (1990) Cruzeiro Transfermarkt snapshot at age 15 and was excluded there as implausibly young; here listed one year later at 17, which is closer to plausible for a fringe squad player but still rated at the floor of the scale given the uncertainty. Source: Transfermarkt.
Ramon Menezes (MF/AM, 17): the age and role are consistent with the real Ramon Menezes, who would go on to a long career including the Brazil national team — rated as a promising young talent breaking into the squad, not his later career peak, given the plausible-but-not-certain identity match. Source: Transfermarkt (age/role) + broadly consistent documented early career timeline.

Fluminense de Feira
Fluminense de Feira (Feira de Santana-BA) in the 1991 Copa do Brasil: beat Goiânia 1–0 on 28/02 in the first phase, then lost both legs of the second-phase tie to Grêmio (0–1 at home on 13/03, 0–2 in Porto Alegre on 27/03).

Remo
Clube do Remo's deepest Cup run: past Rio Branco (1–1 away on 20/02, 4–0 at home on 28/02), past Vasco (1–1 in Rio on 21/03) and past Vitória (2–0 at home on 18/04, 0–0 in Salvador on 25/04), before losing the semi-final to Criciúma (0–1 at home on 12/05, 0–2 in Criciúma on 19/05). Coach: Paulinho de Almeida (excluded from the player list — tagged "Coach"/"TEC" on both sheets). Transfermarkt has no 1991 squad page for the club, so the squad below is reconstructed from the two surviving Copa do Brasil match sheets. Every name comes from an official lineup. Primary sources:
Wágner (GK, 67): started both retrieved matches in goal, keeping a clean sheet against Vitória and conceding once to Criciúma — the constant of the run and the same first-choice keeper as in 1990. Source: futibola (both).
Chico Monte Alegre (DF, 66): started both matches in central defence. Source: futibola (both).
Paulo Verdan (DF, 65): started both matches in defence. Source: futibola (both).

Jecimar (DF, 61): started the quarter-final first leg against Vitória. Source: futibola (18/04).
Edmílson (MF, 65): started the quarter-final first leg in midfield — the same midfielder who was an ever-present in Remo's 1990 campaign. Source: futibola (18/04).
Varela (MF, 63): named substitute against Vitória, started the semi-final first leg. Source: futibola (both).
Bebeto (MF, 59): named substitute midfielder in the semi-final first leg. Source: futibola (12/05).
Paulo Sérgio (FW, 68): started both matches in attack; leading forward of the run and top-rated player in the squad. Source: futibola (both).

Roberto (FW, 62): started the semi-final first leg in attack. Source: futibola (12/05).

Santa Cruz
Santa Cruz (Recife-PE) in the 1991 Copa do Brasil: eliminated Colatina in the first phase (3–2 away on 21/02, 1–0 at home on 28/02), then went out to Botafogo in the second phase (0–1 at the Arruda on 14/03, 0–3 in Rio on 17/03). Transfermarkt has no 1991 squad page for the club, so the squad below is reconstructed from the two surviving Copa do Brasil match sheets of the Botafogo tie. Every name comes from an official lineup. Primary sources:
Birigui (GK, 63): started in goal at the Arruda on 14/03, conceding once. Source: futibola (14/03).
Flávio II (GK, 60): started in goal in the return leg in Rio on 17/03 — Santa Cruz changed keeper between legs. Source: futibola (17/03).
Marcão (DF, 63): started both legs in central defence — the only defender used throughout the tie. Source: futibola (both).
Washington (DF, 62): started the first leg in defence and was listed among the reserves in the second. Source: futibola (both).
Fernando Lima (DF, 61): started the first leg in defence. Source: futibola (14/03).
Preto (DF, 60): started the second leg in defence. Source: futibola (17/03).
Josevaldo (DF, 59): started the second leg in defence. Source: futibola (17/03).
Válber (MF, 64): started the first leg and was among the named reserves in the second — a 20-year-old prospect who went on to a long first-division career, but still unestablished in 1991, hence a rating just above the squad average rather than a star number. Source: futibola (both).
Rivaldo (MF, 63): appears in both Santa Cruz lineups. This is the future Ballon d'Or winner, aged 18 during the competition and in his first professional season at Santa Cruz — rated as a promising regular, explicitly NOT at his later level, since the OVR must reflect 1991 only. Source: futibola (both).
Sérgio China (MF, 62): started the first leg in midfield and appears again on the second-leg sheet (where futibola duplicates him into both teams' lists — he is a Santa Cruz player). Source: futibola (both).
Luís Simplício (MF, 62): started both legs in midfield. Source: futibola (both).
Ragner (MF, 61): started both legs in midfield. Source: futibola (both).
Fernando (MF, 60): started the first leg in midfield. Source: futibola (14/03).
Sérgio Cosme (MF, 59): started the second leg in midfield. Source: futibola (17/03).
Marcelo Rocha (FW, 63): started both legs in attack — the only forward used throughout the tie, and the same attacker who played for the club in the 1990 Cup. Source: futibola (both).
Deda (FW, 61): started the second leg in attack. Source: futibola (17/03).
Augusto (FW, 60): started the second leg in attack. Source: futibola (17/03).
Roberto (FW, 57): named reserve in the first leg with no position given — bench player; the FW line is an inference, not confirmed. Source: futibola (14/03).
Sport
Squad list (names, positions, ages) from Transfermarkt's historical squad page for the club's 1991 season: www.transfermarkt.us/sport-club-do-recife/kader/verein/8718/sa… (24 players listed with position/age; no market values exist that far back). No individual-match data for Sport's specific 1991 Copa do Brasil run could be found, so every OVR here is a conservative, age/role-based estimate.

Mirandinha (FW/LW, 19): NOTE — this is NOT the famous Brazilian international striker Mirandinha who played for Corinthians and Newcastle United (age 30 in the same Transfermarkt era, playing for a different club). This is a different, much younger player who happens to share the name. Rated as an ordinary young winger based on age alone, no inflation from the famous namesake. Source: Transfermarkt.
Aílton (DF/CB, 33): oldest player on the roster, senior centre-back presence. Source: Transfermarkt.
Paulo Vítor (GK, 32): oldest keeper, presumed starter by experience. Source: Transfermarkt.

No individual-match data for Vasco's specific 1991 Copa do Brasil run could be found, so OVR is derived from age/role and continuity with the club's documented 1989 entry where applicable.

Bebeto (FW/CF, 25): the real Bebeto, already documented as a Vasco standout in the 1989 entry — rated clearly above the rest of the squad on the strength of his continuing, independently verifiable real-world standing (he would go on to captain Brazil's 1994 World Cup-winning squad). Source: Transfermarkt (age/role) + widely documented career.
Sonny Anderson (FW/CF, 19): the real Sonny Anderson, also already documented in the 1989 Vasco entry as a young talent — two years older here, rated slightly above his 1989 rating to reflect natural development, still not at his later career peak (Barcelona, France NT). Source: Transfermarkt (age/role) + widely documented later career.
Acácio (GK, 30): the same starting keeper already documented as Vasco's presumed starter in the 1989 entry, held over here. Source: Transfermarkt.
Zé do Carmo (MF/DM, 28): also held over from the 1989 entry as a senior midfield presence. Source: Transfermarkt.
Sídney (DF/CB, 18): youngest defender, conservative rating (also appears in the 1989 entry as one of the youngest squad members). Source: Transfermarkt.
Roberson (MF, 24), Luisinho (MF/CM, 24): regular-age midfielders, Luisinho held over from the 1989 entry. Source: Transfermarkt.
Tosin (MF, 23): regular-age midfielder. Source: Transfermarkt.
William (MF/CM, 21), França (MF/DM, 20): younger midfielders. Source: Transfermarkt.
Bismarck (MF/AM, 20): younger attacking midfielder, held over from the 1989 entry. Source: Transfermarkt.

Squad list (names, positions, ages) from Transfermarkt's historical squad page for the club's 1991 season: www.transfermarkt.us/esporte-clube-vitoria/kader/verein/2125/s… (29 players listed with position/age; no market values exist that far back; Sergio Odilon's age is not listed on Transfermarkt, consistent with the club's 1989 entry). No individual-match data for Vitória's specific 1991 Copa do Brasil run could be found, so OVR is derived from age/role and continuity with the club's documented 1989 entry where applicable.
