The titles of old tournaments, cited in the Brazilian championship history, are equated to the title of Série A, but the tournaments are cataloging with their original name in the statistics (despite being different competitions, they confer the same title). In 2010, the champions of national tournaments from 1959 to 1970-Taça Brasil and Torneio Roberto Gomes Pedrosa-have been declared official winners of the Brazilian championship or champions of Brazil (not winners of Brasileirão or Série A) by the Brazilian Football Confederation. Prior to this, only the seasons post-1971 were regarded as Campeonato Brasileiro. The first Campeonato Brasileiro with that name was held in 1989. In 1967, the Torneio Rio-São Paulo was expanded to include teams from other states, becoming the Torneio Roberto Gomes Pedrosa, which was also considered a national tournament. Only in 1959, with the advancements in civil aviation and air transport and the need to appoint a Brazilian representative to the first edition of the Copa Libertadores was a nationwide tournament created, Taça Brasil. Contested by 20 clubs, it operates on a system of promotion and relegation with the Campeonato Brasileiro Série B.ĭue to historical peculiarities and the large geographical size of the country, Brazil has a relatively short history of nationwide football competitions.
