State Championship of Ceará
The state championship of Ceará is the football championship of the state of Ceará (Portuguese: Campeonato Cearense de Futebol ) in Brazil . It has been held continuously since 1915.

- ↑ The 1992 championship was played in three phases. Originally, the three winners (Ceará SC, Fortaleza EC, AE Tiradentes) were supposed to decide the championship together with the best of the overall classification (Icasa EC) in a knockout round. After this could not be held due to delayed disputes between the clubs, the FCF decided at the green table on a title division between the four clubs.
