Taça Brasil

Taça Brasil

The Taça Brasil (or "Brazil Trophy") was a Brazilian national football competition which was contested from 1959 to 1968. It was the most important football tournament in Brazil at the time and can be compared, in importance level, to the current Campeonato Brasileiro.

Bahia and Cruzeiro were the only champions to have played all phases of the tournament, because teams from Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo were already qualified to the semi-finals. Both teams beat the great and world famous Santos FC of Pelé, Coutinho and Pepe.

Relationship with the Copa Libertadores

The Taça Brasil was founded to enable Brazil to provide contenders for the newly-created Copa Libertadores de América, an international club competition contested in South America and broadly equivalent to the European Champions Cup.

From 1959 to 1964 the winner of Taça Brasil was selected to be the sole Brazilian competitor in the next year's Copa Libertadores. In 1965 and 1966, the two finalists of the Taça Brasil were both chosen to represent Brazil in the next year's Copa Libertadores, which was expanded in 1966. In 1967 and 1968, the winner of the Taça Brasil qualified for the next year's Copa Libertadores, along with the winner of the newly created Torneio Roberto Gomes Pedrosa (also known as the "Taça de Prata"). 1968 was the last year the Taça Brasil was contested; in 1969 and 1970 the top two teams in the Torneio Roberto Gomes Pedrosa became the two Brazilian entrants in the following year's Copa Libertadores, before the formation of the Campeonato Brasileiro, a Brazilian national league championship, in 1971.
