The Taça Brasil (Brazil Cup) was the first national soccer competition in Brazil. The Taça was hosted by the Brazilian Sports Federation, the CBD , in 1962 . The 1962 Taça Brasil runner-up qualified for the 1963 Copa Campeones de América . This was due to the fact that the champions of Taça Brasil in 1962, FC Santos, had already qualified as defending champions of the Copa Campeones de América in 1962 .

The winners of the Taça Brasil were seen at the time as Campeões, as champions of Brazil. The CBF refused to officially recognize the clubs as Brazilian champions until 2010.
