Copa de Elite (English: Elite Cup, parodying the title of the 2007 film Tropa de Elite) is a 2014 Brazilian parody film released on April 17, 2014, directed by Victor Brandt, produced by GLAZ and distributed by 20th Century Fox. It stars humorists Marcos Veras and Júlia Rabello (who were, at the time, husband and wife), both of them already famous for their work with comedy troupe Porta dos Fundos, alongside Rafinha Bastos.
Heavily inspired by films such as Airplane!, Spaceballs and the Naked Gun franchise, Copa de Elite is a satire of several Brazilian blockbusters such as Se Eu Fosse Você (2006), Tropa de Elite (2007), Chico Xavier (2010), Bruna Surfistinha (2011) and Minha Mãe é uma Peça (2013), with main focus on the then-upcoming 2014 FIFA World Cup, which was hosted by Brazil.
