The 2024 agenda for the Botafogo has gained even more prominence. By winning the Copa Libertadores da América, Botafogo secured its spot in the Intercontinental Cup. The South American representative's debut in this decisive match is scheduled for December 11.
The Intercontinental Cup began in September, with teams from Africa, Asia, and the Pacific region competing in the early stages. Unlike the new Club World Cup, which will take place every four years, the first edition of the tournament is set for 2025 in the United States, featuring 32 teams.

In addition to ensuring qualification for the European champion (who was already in the semifinals), FIFA has "relegated" the South American champion, who will now need to play an additional match to claim the intercontinental title. Botafogo, winner of the Copa Libertadores, advanced to the quarter-finals.
