The 2008 season was the only season where the team was down graded resulting in their playing in the Brasileirão Série B in the 2009 season. After doing well in the 2011 season, Vasco da Gama aimed to win its 5th title of the Brasileirão Série A. The team came close to achieving this in 2011, but lost to the Corinthians. As well as competing in the series A, Vasco da Gama returned to the Copa Libertadores (the main football competition of the Americas). In the eleven years after the 2001 Copa Libertadores, the team had enjoyed 8 consecutive wins which was a record, before being eliminated by Boca Juniors, the 2001 finalists. Despite doing so well, Vasco da Gama could not defend the title of champion of Copa do Brasil, because of conflicting schedules. (A Brazilian team competing in the Copa Libertadores cannot compete in the Copa do Brasil but this is planned for reconsideration for the 2013 Copa do Brasil).

The friendly match was marked specially to mark the farewell of Edmundo, one of the greatest idols in the history of Vasco da Gama. The last match of Edmundo was the lost by 2–0, in São Januário, against Vitória, for the 2008 Brazilian Série A, which marked the only e unprecedented relegated of Vasco da Gama. The choice of opponent (Barcelona Guayaquil) was that the game that Edmundo would most like to play is the final of the Copa Libertadores, taking into account that Edmundo in this time was at Fiorentina, and that was the main player in Brazilian football in 1997, with more than primordial for the winning the 1997 Brazilian Série A.Edmundo's farewell will have a rematch of the Libertadores Finals: "It was my request. I really wanted to have played that game" http://globoesporte.globo.com/futebol/times/vasco/noticia/2012/02/edmundo-anuncia-despedida-no-vasco-barcelona-equ-e-o-rival.html GloboEsporte.com 16 February
