A decisão de 2000 colocou frente a frente Cruzeiro e São Paulo, com o título ficando para o Cruzeiro. Abaixo estão os elencos reais daquela edição — 16 clube(s) e 377 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 2000 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.

ABC
Squad list (46 names, positions, ages) and the season's "Mais Utilizados" (most-used XI, minimum 10 appearances) from ogol's ABC 2000 season page: www.ogol.com.br/equipe/abc/3083?epoca_id=129 The eleven most-used players that season were: Sadi, Mário César, Bartô, Humberto, Teci, Erivan, Moisés, Joãozinho, Márcio Cardoso, Reinaldo Aleluia, Leonardo. Competition context: ABC knocked out Vitória-BA (1-0 away on 29/03, 2-1 away leg 12/04) and then reached the round of 16, where they drew both legs with Palmeiras (3-3 in Natal, 1-1) and went out on the tie-break. Source: www.campeoesdofutebol.com.br/copa_brasil_2000.html ABC was a second-tier club in 2000 (Copa João Havelange, Módulo Amarelo), so the whole squad is calibrated in the 50s–60s band.

América de Natal
Squad (29 players with positions and ages), the season's "Mais Utilizados" XI, appearance leader and top scorers all come from ogol's América-RN 2000 season page: www.ogol.com.br/equipe/america-rn/2616?epoca_id=129 (33 games played across the year: 13W 8D 12L; squad average age 25.1).

América-RN was a lower-division side in 2000, so the whole squad sits in the 50–65 band.

Sources: www.campeoesdofutebol.com.br/copa_brasil_2000.html and en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2000_Copa_do_Brasil This was the squad one season before the club's 2001 Brasileirão title, so it is a strong upper-half first-division side, not yet a champion — ratings top out at 80.

Appearance leader: Bruno Heleno, 59 games. Top scorers 2000: Guilherme 34, Ramón 16, Marques 14, André Neles 13, Caíco 5. Competition context: Atlético-MG reached the semifinals of the 2000 Copa do Brasil — past Portuguesa, then Fluminense in the quarterfinals (3-3 and 2-2, through on penalties), then eliminated by São Paulo (0-3 away, 3-3 at home). Sources: www.campeoesdofutebol.com.br/copa_brasil_2000.html and en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2000_Copa_do_Brasil 2000 was a strong year for the club (semifinalist, high-scoring attack), so the front line is rated well above the rest of the squad.

Squad (positions, ages), most-used players, appearance leader and top scorers from ogol's Corinthians 2000 season page: www.ogol.com.br/equipe/corinthians?epoca_id=129 Appearance leader: Fábio Luciano, 55 games. Top scorers 2000: Luizão 26, Marcelinho Carioca 21, Ricardinho 13. Competition context: Corinthians entered the 2000 Copa do Brasil in the round of 16 (as a Libertadores participant) and were knocked out by Botafogo — 0-1 at home on 24/05 and 1-2 on 31/05. Sources: www.campeoesdofutebol.com.br/copa_brasil_2000.html and en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2000_Copa_do_Brasil This is the squad that had just won the inaugural FIFA Club World Championship in January 2000 and went on to win the Copa João Havelange, so it is rated as one of the strongest in the whole dataset — several genuine Brazil internationals in the low-to-mid 80s.

Competition context: Fluminense beat Maranhão 7-1 and eliminated Vasco, then lost the quarterfinal to Atlético-MG on penalties after 3-3 and 2-2. Sources: www.campeoesdofutebol.com.br/copa_brasil_2000.html and en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2000_Copa_do_Brasil In 2000 Fluminense was still climbing back through the lower divisions (Série C champion in 1999, Série B in 2000), so the squad is rated as a strong second-tier side with two clearly above-level attackers.
