The 2022 Copa do Nordeste qualification (officially the Eliminatórias Copa do Nordeste 2022) was the qualifying tournament of the 2022 Copa do Nordeste. It was played from 12 October to 18 November 2021.[1] Twenty-four teams competed to decide four places in the Copa do Nordeste.

Format changes

[edit]

The tournament was renamed from Pré-Copa do Nordeste to Eliminatórias Copa do Nordeste. Starting from this season, the following format changes were implemented:

  • The tournament was expanded from eight to twenty-four teams. The teams either qualified by participating in their respective state championships or by the 2021 CBF ranking.[2]
  • The teams competed in three rounds where the four winners advanced to the Copa do Nordeste (initially 8 teams would compete in one round).[3]
