Who can say something about the Brazilian League?

The football league system in South America is quite chaotic, especially in Brazil.

& ltI > Early Brazil National Competition

The first official national championship in the history of Brazil was held during 1959-1968. This competition was held because of the founding of the Libertadores Cup in South America. At that time, Brazil had only one place to participate. Since there is no national championship in Brazil, in order to decide a team to participate in the Libertadores Cup, it was decided to set up a national competition. TacadoBrasil is actually based on.

1967, the highest level interregional competition in Brazil, the Rio-Sao Paulo Championship, was extended to other states, and the competition was named TacadePrata (also known as TorneioRobertoGomesPedrosa). TacadoBrasil closed at 1968, before 197 1 Brazil tournament was founded. TacadePrata became the pioneer of the de facto national championship and the Brazilian championship, which was held between 1967- 1970.

< Second > Early Brazil Championship

The Brazil Championship was established in 197 1. The original tournament system adopted a two-stage tournament system. Twenty teams were divided into two groups to compete. The top six in each group entered the second stage, and the second stage was divided into three groups. The champions of each group entered the finals. In the final, the three teams decided the champion through single round robin, and Athletic mineiro won. In the next few games, the nature of similar staged leagues was adopted, but the grouping method and the number of participating teams were different. 197 1 and 1972 are divided into Grade A and Grade B, but there is no clear promotion and demotion plan for each team, so the Brazil Championship of 1973 is no longer graded. Because there is no restriction on teams, the number of teams is increasing, reaching the peak of 96 people at 1979! In the first stage, the number of people in each group exceeds 10. In addition to participating in various regional competitions, the champion team often has to play 20 or 30 national competitions, and the competition burden can be imagined. So after the 1979 championship, the national champion team was divided into two levels-the scoring standard was officially designated and there was no dispute. 1980 * * * There are 44 top teams in Brazil. Class c has been added to 198 1.

Why is this change qualified in 1980? I mentioned in the team article that between 1933 and 1980, Brazilian football was under the control of the Brazilian Sports Association, which was established on June 8,19/4. The competition organization was chaotic and the team's income was meager. Until 1980, the independent Brazilian Federation of Football Associations (C.F.) was established. The newly established Brazilian Football Association strives to make Brazil's professional football more standardized, so it has carried out a series of innovations, and the championship grading system is one of them. At the beginning, the promotion and demotion system of the Brazilian league was quite chaotic, and it was not standardized until after 1987.

& lt third > Brazilian Football Association and "Thirteen Clubs"

Due to the unclear division between Grade A and Grade B teams, the number of teams upgraded to Grade B is too small (there were only four teams at most before 1987). 1986 All the 80 teams in the Brazil Championship participated in competitions of different grades, and the grades were divided according to the final ranking. However, at 1987, the new first-class competition began, and big trouble came!

According to the idea of the Brazilian Football Association, there will be 28 teams participating in the 1987 Brazilian League. However, according to the result of 1986 Brazil Championship, Botafogo and Corretiba, two traditional strong teams, will be relegated to the second division, so they appealed to the Brazilian Sports Court to participate in the first division competition and won the case (the Brazilian Sports Court has the right to change the decision of any sports organization! ), which of course triggered similar needs of more teams. The game was postponed. At that time, the big clubs were bullying, the power of the Brazilian Football Association declined, and there was not enough money to hold the Brazilian championship. ClubedosTreze (Club XIII) has been established by major clubs, which is the real behind-the-scenes manipulator of professional football in Brazil!

The list of thirteen clubs is as follows: Bachiat, Atletico mineiro, Cruzeiro, Botafogo, Flamengo, Froumy Nence and vasco. Da Gama, gremio, International, Corinti, Palmeiras, Santos, Sao Paulo.

Thirteen clubs invited three other teams-Korety, Goias and Santa. Cruz took part in the competition they organized-Copauniao named GREENMODULE by Brazilian Football Association, and organized other 16 teams-including Guarani, the champion and runner-up of 1986-to participate in another competition-Yellow Module. The Brazilian Football Association did not dare to offend the big clubs and wanted to protect its dignity, so he insisted that the top two of the two events take part in the play-offs to decide the champion of the annual Brazilian championship, while the champions and runners-up of the Green module-Flamengo and Inter refused to take part in the play-offs, so the Brazilian Football Association announced that the champions and runners-up of the yellow module-Recife Sports and Guarani were the champions and runners-up of the Brazilian championship to participate in the Libertadores Cup. However, in 1988, the Brazilian Football Association recognized Copanio as the highest level football match in Brazil, and let the top seven teams of YellowModule in 1987 and another famous team, Rio de Janeiro Americas, join Copanio. However, after this storm, the contradiction between big clubs and small clubs has become more and more acute!

& lt fourth > 1990s-Puppet Brazilian Football Association

Despite such a big storm, Copanio became the most formal "first-class" in Brazil's first level, and Copanio adopted the method of gradually reducing the number of participating teams. 1990, 20 teams participated in the competition, and officially used the name of SerieA (First Division League), but the competition mode still followed the traditional competition system of the Brazilian championship. 199 1 adopted the single round robin system for the first time, but the top four teams still won the championship through the play-offs. 1992 play-offs expanded to the quarter-finals. At 1993, the Brazilian Football Association, which is used to playing large-scale games, felt dissatisfied and expanded the number of first-class teams to 32. Another reason is that gremio is going to the second division, and the promotion seems hopeless-they are from the second division 1992 1 1, so the Brazilian Football Association cancelled 1992. ), he put all the members of 13 club in the first stage, Group A and Group B, and stipulated that the teams in Group A and Group B would not be relegated, while the last four teams in Group C and Group D were relegated to Group B. From 1994, there were 24 teams in the Brazilian championship. For the next three years, nothing happened. 1996- trouble again! Froumy Nence has been demoted! So Massey Football Association immediately announced that the first-class competition of 1997 had been expanded to 26 teams, thus maintaining the first-class status of Froumy Nensai. However, Froumy Nensai did live up to expectations and was demoted again in 1997, this time with the unfortunate Bachiat. The extremely forbearing Brazilian Football Association did not dare to be too blatant this time and had to demote these two teams. 1998, the first division was restored to 24 teams.

& lt The chaos is getting worse and worse.

In 2000, due to the ruling of the sports arbitration court, the gamma team in the capital was demoted, and the gamma team appealed to the federal court and won the case, restoring the first-class seat. Results 1987 split again, and the storm finally subsided with the intervention of FIFA. This year's competition is not graded at all. * * * There are 1 15 teams participating! The first level competition of 200 1 is based on the team of 2000 BlueModule (equivalent to 1987 GREENMODULE) and other rematch teams in 2000. * * * There are 28 teams. After that, the number of teams decreased year by year, and finally recovered to 24 teams in 2003, canceling the play-offs and adopting the home and away international competition system!

& lt 6 > Brazil Cup and Brazil Champions Cup.

After the establishment of Copanio 1987, big-name teams occupied most of the places. In order to give teams from poor areas more opportunities to participate in national competitions, CopadoBrasil (Brazil Cup) was founded. The winner of the Brazil Cup also won the right to participate in the Libertadores Cup.

1989-194 There were 32 teams participating in the Brazil Cup, and the champion and runner-up of the superior state directly entered the race. 1995, the third place of the four major States was also allowed to participate. 1996, in addition to the traditional 32 teams, the eight teams with the largest audience in the Brazilian championship also won the right to participate. 1997, the Brazilian Football Association began to issue wild cards to teams other than Team 32 according to its own standards.

CopadosCampeoes Brazil Champions Cup, founded in 2000, is a competition in which several famous local champions or runners-up take part. The champion has the right to participate in the Libertadores Cup.
