The Copa Brasil 1979 was the 23rd season of the Brazilian soccer championship which was held from 1975 to 1980 and from 1984 to 1986 under this name. The competition should not be confused with the Copa do Brasil cup competition held from 1989 . The championship, held between September 16 and December 23, had 94 participants, which is the record.

Season course

The competition started on September 22, 1979 in its new season and ended on December 23, 1979. It was the last championship, which was organized by the national sports association CBD . At the end of the season, SC Internacional from Porto Alegre celebrated their third unbeaten title.

After the season, as every year, awards were given to the best players of the year. The " Golden Ball ", awarded by the sports magazine Placar , went to Paulo Roberto Falcão from the champions SC Internacional . The top scorer was César Martins de Oliveira from America FC from Rio with 13 goals .

Attendees

By decisions of the Brazilian military government, the field of participants was increased to a total of 94 teams. Last year there were 74 participants.

In that year the Torneio Rio-São Paulo was originally planned, so the teams should only compete in the second round of the championship. But they objected to it and only wanted to compete in the third round. They justified this with the fact that the two finalists from the Copa Brasil 1978 , the Guarani FC and Palmeiras São Paulo only had to compete in the third round. The objection was not granted. As a result, the clubs Corinthians São Paulo , Associação Portuguesa de Desportos , FC Santos and FC São Paulo did not play. Alternatively, four teams from groups A to F from the first round were allowed to play in the second round.

mode

1st round :

In groups A to F , the teams played in groups of ten with only one game against each other. The best four in a group went straight to the next round. In addition, the four substitute participants went to the next round, determined according to their points scored across all teams in the four groups.

In groups G and H , the teams played in groups of ten with only one game against each other. However, the best eight teams from these two groups made it to the second round. This was justified by the fact that the teams in these groups were the stronger clubs compared to those from groups A to F.

2nd round : The teams played in groups of seven with only one game against each other.

The teams that were originally supposed to take part in the Torneio Rio-São Paulo and competed despite the rejected protest now entered the competition . These were from the state championship of Rio de Janeiro : Botafogo FR , Goytacaz FC , Americano FC (RJ) , Fluminense Rio de Janeiro and Flamengo Rio de Janeiro as well as from the state championship of São Paulo : AA Francana , EC São Bento , EC XV de Novembro (Piracicaba) , EC XV de Novembro (Jaú) , AA Internacional (Limeira) and Comercial FC (Ribeirão Preto) .

The forty teams played in groups I to O in groups of eight with only one game against each other. The best two in a group moved into the third round.

3rd round :

Contrary to the original plan, the two finalists from the Copa Brasil 1978 , Guarani FC and Palmeiras São Paulo already took part in the second round.

In groups P to T , the teams played in groups of four with only one game against each other. The respective group winners moved into the semifinals.

Total table:

An overall table was formed from the results of all games. This is used by the national association to calculate the perpetual best list.

Closing table
