A decisão de 1993 colocou frente a frente Cruzeiro e Grêmio, com o título ficando para o Cruzeiro. Abaixo estão os elencos reais daquela edição — 16 clube(s) e 330 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 1993 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.
Éder Aleixo (MF, 74): meia veterano, ídolo e ex-Seleção, especialista em bolas paradas — a maior referência técnica do time mesmo no fim da carreira. Fonte: escalação da final.
Ademir Kaefer (MF, 72): meia-armador experiente, criação e organização. Fonte: escalação da final.
Rogério Lage (MF, 68): volante titular. Fonte: idem.
Roberto Gaúcho (FW, 70): atacante titular, decisivo na final (jogada do 1º gol). Fonte: escalação/lances da final.
Cleisson (FW, 68): atacante titular, marcou o gol do título (2x1). Fonte: escalação/gols da final.
Edenílson (FW, 68): atacante titular. Fonte: escalação da final.
Nota de cobertura: 11 jogadores verificados a partir da escalação titular da final (volta) da Copa do Brasil 1993. Reservas do banco não foram confirmados em fonte e, portanto, não foram incluídos (nunca inventados) — squad enxuto porém verdadeiro, conforme a regra. Vários nomes (Célio Lúcio, Nonato, Cleisson, Roberto Gaúcho, Paulo César) reaparecem no Cruzeiro campeão de 1996, confirmando a continuidade do grupo.
Eduardo Heuser (GK, 68): goleiro titular na final (falhou no 1º gol adversário). Fonte: escalação/lances da final.
Charles (GK, 64): goleiro que entrou aos 15' da final (rendeu Dida no lance de lesão/substituição); rodízio. Fonte: substituições da final.
Paulão (DF, 68): zagueiro titular na final. Fonte: escalação da final.
Jackson (DF, 66): lateral-direito titular na final. Fonte: idem.
Luciano (DF, 66): zagueiro titular na final. Fonte: idem.
Dida (DF, 64): lateral-esquerdo titular (saiu aos 15', substituído). Fonte: escalação/substituições da final. (Defensor do Grêmio, homônimo — não confundir com o goleiro Dida.)
Dener (MF, 76): meia-armador, craque e principal jogador criativo do time — um dos maiores talentos do futebol brasileiro da época (faleceu em abril de 1994). Maior OVR do elenco. Fonte: escalação da final.
Pingo (MF, 68): meia/capitão, marcou o gol do Grêmio na final. Fonte: escalação/ gols da final.
Jamir (MF, 68): volante titular (rendido por Fabinho no 2º tempo). Fonte: escalação/substituições da final.
Juninho (MF, 68): meio-campista titular na final. Fonte: escalação da final.
Carlos Miguel (FW, 68): atacante/meia titular na final. Fonte: idem.
Gílson (FW, 66): atacante titular na final. Fonte: idem.
Fabinho (FW, 66): meio-campista/atacante reserva que entrou na final; rodízio. Fonte: substituições da final.
Nota de cobertura: 13 jogadores verificados a partir da escalação da final (volta) da Copa do Brasil 1993 (titulares + reservas que entraram). Vários nomes (Paulão, Pingo, Jamir, Carlos Miguel, Luciano) reaparecem no Grêmio campeão de 1994, confirmando a continuidade do grupo. Reservas não utilizados foram omitidos (nunca inventados).
Ceará
Squad list (names, positions, ages) from Transfermarkt's historical squad page for the club's 1993 season: www.transfermarkt.us/ceara-sporting-club/kader/verein/2029/sai… (19 players listed with position/age; no market values exist that far back; the 1990 season for this club was previously found to have no data indexed, but 1993 is available). No individual-match data for Ceará's specific 1993 Copa do Brasil run could be found, so every OVR here is a conservative, age/role-based estimate.

Season context: Rio Branco-AC entered the 1993 Copa do Brasil as Campeonato Acreano champion. Acre was the weakest state federation in the country at the time and the club had no national-division activity, so ratings sit in the 45-57 band (deep reserve to filler on the project's scale) — the lowest of this batch by design.

União Bandeirante
Squad list (names, positions, ages) from ogol's historical squad page for União Bandeirante FC (Bandeirantes, PR) 1993 season (epoca_id = 1993 - 1871 = 122): www.ogol.com.br/equipe/uniao-bandeirante/3512/plantel?epoca_id… (25 names listed, squad average age 24.8, all Brazilian). Season context: União Bandeirante was a small-town Campeonato Paranaense club (founded 1964, Estádio Comendador Luiz Meneghel) with no top-division activity, reaching the 1993 Copa do Brasil through the state route. Ratings sit in the 49-61 band (filler to weak lower-division starter on the project's scale).

Vasco
Squad list (names, positions, ages) from Transfermarkt's historical squad page for Vasco da Gama's 1993 season: www.transfermarkt.us/cr-vasco-da-gama/kader/verein/978/saison_… (page header "Clube de Regatas Vasco da Gama — Season 1993"). Season context: Vasco won the Campeonato Carioca in 1992 and 1993 with a very young squad (Transfermarkt gives an average age of 21.5), so the ratings peak in the mid-70s rather than the 80s.

Vitória
Squad list (names, positions, ages) from Transfermarkt's historical squad page for Esporte Clube Vitória's 1993 season: www.transfermarkt.us/ec-vitoria/kader/verein/2125/saison_id/19… (page header "Esporte Clube Vitória — 1993 Season Squad", 22 names). Season context: 1993 was the best season in the club's history to that point — Vitória reached the Campeonato Brasileiro final and finished runner-up to Palmeiras. The first XI is therefore rated as solid top-division starters (low-to-mid 70s), with no individual at national-team level yet.
