Format edit

In the first stage, all teams face off in round-robin, which will qualify the top four for the next phase, known as the semi-finals. At this stage, the first placed facing the fourth place and second place playing against the third placed in two matches each. The winners face off in the final two matches to define the winner of the competition.[1]

The 2014 Copa Sul-Fronteira winners qualify for the 2014 Super Copa Gaúcha, where it will have the opportunity to qualify for 2015 Campeonato Brasileiro Série D. The winner of the Super Copa Gaúcha also dispute the 2015 Recopa Gaúcha, against the winner of 2014 Campeonato Gaúcho at the beginning of next season.

Clubs edit

This year, the FGF decided to change one of the two big clubs of the state to Copa Sul-Fronteira, the Grêmio was randomly chosen. Theoretically this makes less unequal competitions. Also, the current champions Pelotas decided to not play the competition, giving priority to dispute of the Campeonato Brasileiro Série D in this season. The Guarany (BG) decided to not dispute the competition less than one month from the start of it. The following seven clubs will compete in the Copa Sul-Fronteira during the 2014 edition. [2]
