Campeonato Brasileiro de Seleções Estaduais
The Campeonato Brasileiro de Seleções Estaduais ("Brazilian Championship of the States") was a football competition between the national teams of Brazilian states, which was held a total of 28 times between 1922 and 1987. The tournament enjoyed great popularity well into the 1940s and was almost always held annually. From the mid-1930s, however, interest flattened out and the competition was discontinued in 1962. In 1987 there was only one other tournament under this name. The reason is the increasing number of competitions between clubs from different states, the most famous of which is the Torneio Rio-São Paulo , which was first held in 1933 .
Until 1931, participation was reserved for amateurs and the competition was held by the Confederação Brasileira de Desportos (CBD). After professional football had prevailed in Brazil since the early 1930s, a parallel competition for professional players took place from 1933, which was organized by the Federação Brasileira de Futebol (FBF). In 1936, instead of the selection competition, the FBF carried out the Copa dos Campeões Estaduais ("Cup of State Champions") for clubs. In 1937 the CBD opened up to professional football and the FBF was integrated into it.
In total, national teams from Rio de Janeiro have won the tournament 16 times. It should be taken into account that the city of Rio de Janeiro was the capital of Brazil until 1960 and operated as a federal district ( Distrito Federal / DF). After the capital status ceased in favor of Brasília , the city of Rio became the state of Guanabara . The rest of today's state of Rio de Janeiro has always been called Rio de Janeiro. In 1974, Guanabara State and Rio State were merged under the name of the latter.
The state of São Paulo won the competition 14 times and the states of Bahia and Minas Gerais once each.
