The brazilian SEASON starts in January and ends in December. The Brazilian LEAGUE starts in late April or early May. But for several months before that, clubs are playing the State Leagues, Libertadores, etc The reason is that being almost entirely in the southern hemisphere, summer is december to march and winter from june to september. Summer vacations therefore are usually in january. The southern hemisphere schools ALSO follow that same season pattern.

[@s-ts-4348]

True

[@Eruptor1000]

Interesting how different it is.

[@vitorlima4]

The reason for the existence of the Big 12 is because, until the 1960s, there was no national championship in Brazil, due to the large territorial extension and difficulty in moving teams around. Therefore, each Brazilian state had its own state championship. Each state had its 2 or 4 big clubs and, after the creation of the national championship in 1959, these big clubs also stood out on the national scene. Although there are 27 states in Brazil, only teams from the 4 most economically and politically important states stood out, they are: São Paulo (state): São Paulo, Corinthians, Santos and Palmeiras; Rio de Janeiro (state): Flamengo, Fluminense, Vasco da Gama and Botafogo; Minas Gerais: Cruzeiro and Atlético Mineiro; Rio Grande do Sul: Grêmio and Internacional. As the national championship has 20 teams, other forces that regularly appear and stand out are teams from the state of Paraná: Athletico Paranaense and Coritiba; and teams from the northeast region of Brazil: Bahia (from the state of Bahia); Sport Club Recife (from the state of Pernambuco); Fortaleza (in the state of Ceará), among others. State championships still exist, but without the strength they had in another era. A large part of the media and public opinion is in favor of reducing or even eliminating these championships, because they take up a large part of the calendar (from January to April) and increase the number of games for each team in the season, increasing the number of injuries and player fatigue (in a regular season in Brazil, teams usually play up to 70 games), which is a lot compared to Europe.

[@Semnome-jg6oj]

I'm a Vasco fan and there's a very important detail about the club, but not very well known, one of the reasons why they say the club has the most beautiful history in football. Just over a century ago, Brazilian football was exclusive to the elite and black people could not play for clubs, but Vasco da Gama, a popular team that had recently entered football, did not accept the bans from the Rio de Janeiro league ( football in Brazil at that time only had state competitions) and not only hired black players but was also the first of the Rio clubs to pay salaries to athletes (taking into account the financial condition of the players), this squad was champion by a wide margin, winning the title with ease. Because of this, their rivals (Flamengo, Botafogo, Fluminense), who were the main organizers of the state league, banned Vasco from playing in the championship, meaning the club was relegated. The presidents of the rivals claimed that the club could only return to the first division if it built a stadium (which was more difficult for the club as its majority fans were poorer), but Vasco fans not only joined together to finance the project but also participated in the construction of what was, at the time, the largest stadium in South America, so that Vasco da Gama would return to the first division and become one of the 4 big clubs in the state.

[@NIDELLANEUM]

Been a longtime football fan since I was a kid, I at least heard of these teams, specifically for the reason you mentioned (with so many legends coming from Brazil, knowing the team they played for makes sense). To me, the mere existence of the Big 12 shows that this league can be well balanced and unpredictable. Usually, European leagues have a group of 3 teams who have dominated it: Italy (Juventus, AC Milan and Inter), Portugal (Sporting, Porto and Benfica), Turkey (Galatasaray, Fenerbahce and Besiktas) the Netherlands (Ajax, PSV and Feyenoord) and so on. Some leagues even only have two, like Scotland (Celtic and Rangers) and Spain (Real Madrid and Barcelona, although Atletico *could* be considered the third bigget one). But here, the list of "big teams that have dominated the League together" could even cover more than half of it, meaning that you could have the whole top half fighting for a trophy. I can't even fathom the idea of a league with *a dozen* title contenders. What also is interesting is that this league might even change mid-season, since the European Summer transfer window happens right through it, so you might even see teams performing well, only for them to lose their biggest stars and plummet.

[@arturgabriel5845]

If you think further brazil has 27 states and just 8 were represented last season so the league has so much more potencial

[@viyum2279]

A few corrections, here in Brazil, we also consider the old intercontinental cup as a club world cup since it was disputed between the UCL champion and the Libertadores champion. So for most brazilians, Sao Paulo has 3 world titles, Santos and Corinthians have 2, Gremio and Flamengo have 1. We really care about the states tournaments. For us, it's a great chance to beat our local rivals and win a cup. If you are interested, I recommend watching the Paulista, Carioca, and Gaucho tournament at the beginning of the year. Just like europe, each club has it own history outside of the pitch. I reccomend to learn a little bit about the history and the vibe of the team you will support before choosing it. Last, football is a huge thing in brazil. Everybody supports a team here, even the people who don't care about football. So once you choose a team and present yourself has a supporter, you are locked to it, it doesn't matter if the team is performing well or if it was relegated, for us changing your team is a huge shame.

[@brushark9090]

Actually, the state championships part is no longer true. Ofc they hold historical value and were the most important tournaments back until like the 60s or 70s, but nowadays they just feel like an unnecessary chore for the bigger clubs, specially when it makes the calendar so awfully full and not allowing for a proper preseason. Sure smaller teams still find some relevance to it, but for the most part they need to be completely overhauled because ain't no fucking way you can tell me we still need state championships lasting for 3 months for everyone when that forces us continue the championship during Copa America...

[@Viktor_Bolshevik]

​@@brushark9090 many people says that, but if my team wins a state cup and don't win any other major trophies, this state title could save the season. And tbh, win some state championships in a row is a great achievement for the club.

[@victorguitarrista]

Actually, the reason why the Brazilian League starts in May and ends in December is not because of "hot temperatures" but because the clubs compete in regional leagues from February to April. Brazil is too big, so each state holds a championship. For example: Flamengo, Fluminense, Vasco da Gama and Botafogo are from the state of Rio de Janeiro, so they compete in the 'Campeonato Carioca', as well as smaller clubs from the same state.

[@Random_Internet_Surfer]

Hey man nice of you to clear it out. I was trying to learn how many competitions are there in a Brazilian season. Correct me if I'm wrong, I figured out regionally there are State leagues, State cups Nationally there are Serie A and Taca do Brasil And continentally there is Copa Libertadores

[@victorguitarrista]

​​@@Random_Internet_Surferthere is the state league that holds a tournament phase with point system and the best ones go to the play-off phase which they hold semi-final and final but there is not a state cup. In the Northeast region of Brazil there is a league called 'Copa do Nordeste' which is made up by clubs from states from that region such as Bahia, Ceará, Pernambuco, etc. In the past we had more regional leagues such as 'Rio-São Paulo' and 'Primeira Liga'. At national level, there is the Brazilian League and Brazilian Cup and their respective Supercups. At continental level we have the Copa Libertadores (similar to UEFA Champions League) and Copa Sul-americana (similar to Europa League). We also have their respective Supercups. In the past we had another one called 'Copa Mercosul'.

As a Brazilian, i appreciate the effort to bring our top flight football to Europe and, as a way to enhance the video i´ll be glad to give some considerations, of not trying to criticise in a bad way: Atlético Mineiro is located in Belo Horizonte, as opposed to what was said at 2:22 Flamengo is a 7-times champion of Serie A, butsome might say the team has 8 titles, due to a controversial 1987 season (long story short: the big teams clashed interests with CBD, nowadays CBF, and the championship was a mess) Also Flamengo not only has the biggest fan base in Rio, as they are the most popular team in Brazil (generally speaking) Bragantino has a deep history in the São Paulo State championship, but it´s still overshadowed by the Red Bull takeover Fortaleza, like Bragantino, has a rich history in not only their State Champioship, but also in the Northeast region, commonly referred as one of the biggest of the Northeast, but is overshadowed by their underperformance in Serie A Cruzeiro´s campaign, although not particularly strong, is a good foundation for the future, as the team will compete a continental competition next year in a stunning resurrection since R9´s takeover (and I myself am a Cruzeiro supporter) Other teams not mentioned, América-MG, Goiás and Coritiba have been yo-yo clubs in Serie A for the last decade, but have great significance in their respective states, carrying loads of history themselves.

The Morumbi Stadium is from 50's and one of the biggest stadiums in Brazil, with lots of concerts too (even is quite unmodern for this today). And also, São Paulo has the goalkeeper with most goals in history, my idol Rogério Ceni - who score more than 100 goals in almost 20 years in the club, and also played in 2002 brazilian team, 5th time champion. Actually, SPFC revealed more well known players such as Cafu, Kaka, and many others. I also appreciate the history of my team and they are doing many actions gloryfing the diversity of its fanbase and positioning against injuries, racist, sexist and other crimes even outside its supoorters. Fun fact: the two red stars refers to a former olympic athlete as "Diamante Negro" (Black Diamond), and the three others came from world champion titles (1992, 1993 and 2005 - the International Cups worths as mondial titles too and there are more brazilian world champions, stop this bullshit of just Fifa's do).

[@pelestsetung]

Santos and Grêmio also have 3 libertadores titles. And they’re both world champions l, unlike palmeiras

[@pedreja]

As you correctly did, it's true to say that São Paulo would be the first champions of every single possible existing trophy in case the club wins the Brazilian Supercup. However, there's a very relevant missing fact in that sentence: Flamengo are already champions of everything, as winner of rebranded trophies. The Rio side has been champions of: World (1981 Intercontinental Cup), South-American first tier (3x Libertadores), second tier (Mercosul 1999) and supercup (Recopa 2020), Brazilian league (8x), cup (4x) and supercup (2x). Besides Flamengo, there are other clubs that come really close on being champions of everything: Internacional, Santos and São Paulo (as mentioned before), only missing the brazilian supercup, Atlético Mineiro, Cruzeiro and Palmeiras, missing the world title and Grêmio, missing the south american 2nd tier title.

[@pedreja]

OBS: As you can see, I counted Flamengo as 8 times brazilian champions, as winners of 1980, 1982, 1983, 1987, 1992, 2009, 2019 and 2020. The video says 7 time champions, but shows a table of biggest winners that count all the 8 wins. This is because of the polemic 1987 edition, that had 2 different leagues with 2 different winners (Flamengo and Sport Recife). To keep it short, what basicly happened in that year was that the Brazilian Confederation (CBF) gave up on the organization of that edition of the Brazilian League, which led to it being organized by the Clube dos 13 (the 12 big clubs + Bahia), that picked 16 clubs to play in the competition. Since the beginning, CBF was always getting in the way of these clubs, first with an intervention in the issue of what teams should play in the league, and then with a change of plans and the decision to organize another league with the teams that were not taking part in the competition. First, this 2nd league was seen as the inferior division, but later on, CBF would demand a crossing between 1st and 2nd place between the two leagues, which was refused by the organizing clubs. The competitions were played as they should, Flamengo has beaten Internacional in the clubs competition and Sport won against Guarani in the CBF league. Later on, the demanded crossing happened without Flamengo and Inter, which decided to boycott in agreement with the other big teams, and Sport and Guarani played alone, with Sport winning. To this day, the issue is still very controversial. An interesting curiosity is that the Flamengo's team that played in that year is considered by some as the best starting 11 in the club's all time history, beating the 1981 and 2019 teams. It had players such as Zico, Leandro and Andrade (world winners for Flamengo in 1981), Jorginho, Aldair, Leonardo, Zinho and Bebeto (world winners for Brazil in 1994) and Renato Gaúcho, Edinho and Zé Carlos (some of the best brazilian players of the 1980s).

[@carlosleao233]

​@@pedrejaBeing champion of everything refers to everything they competed in, Flamengo never won the South American championship, so it is not considered, in fact, the same thing happens with Inter, they played in the second division and did not win.

[@pedreja]

​@@carlosleao233 This is also true for São Paulo. The club played in every edition of the Copa Mercosul and Copa Ouro, and never got to win neither of them. They also took part in the CBF Copa dos Campeões and couldn't win it. This 3 competitions, as well as the Supercopa Libertadores (which if I understood correctly, you have mentioned in your comment) doesn't exist anymore, so it's impossible to win them. This puts São Paulo in the exact same situation as Flamengo.

[@pedreja]

In fact, I believe this situation applies for every single club in Brazil. Specially considering that in the 90s and early 2000s, there were competitions being borned and extinguished in a yearly basis, almost every single club took part in a competition that doesn't exists anymore and they couldn't win it at the time. So being champions of every single competition you ever played would be impossible. At the same time, it's possible to win everything in all measures: World, Continent (level 1, 2 and supercup) and National (League, Cup and supercup). This, of course, considering old and rebranded competitions that represent the same thing.

[@heitorfranca6588]

As a Brazillian, Brasileirão is one of the most disputed leagues in all world. If any foreigner have the opportunity of watching it, give it a try. It's pretty worth it!

[@pedreja]

Flamengo not only has "one of the biggest fanbases located in Rio", but actually the biggest fanbase in Brazil with a large distance to the 2nd place. A recent research, from april/23, has stated that the club has about 22% of the country's population as their fans, while Corinthians, 2nd place, has a little bit more than 14%. The number of supporters is close to 47 million, making it also one of (if not the) biggest fanbases in the world, this without considering brazilians and fans from other nationalities living abroad. Brazilian football crowd researches have been made by reliable institutes since the 90s, and Flamengo has been the number one in every single one of them. The supporters are known as "Nação Rubro Negra" (Red and Black Nation), and have been refered as that at least since the 50s. As a matter of fact, in 1927 it was organized the first football popularity contest (not a research but still very relevant), called "Copa Salutaris", which Flamengo won and received another of it's nicknames because of it, "O Mais Querido", meaning "The Most Beloved".

[@pieleonardi]

Great video! Love that you’re making the brazilian league (the most entertaining in the world) better known outside of South America. Just a few remarks: the old Toyota Intercontinental Cup, which happened every year in Japan with the current Libertadores champion facing the Champions League champion is also considered a World Club Cup! That being said, that makes São Paulo 3x times world champion, Santos and Corinthians 2x world champion and Grêmio, Internacional and Flamengo one time world champion. If you want to research you can easily find these old games on the internet to watch. Would recommend watching SP x Barcelona (the legendary Cruyff squad) and SP x Milan (another legendary team), both during the 90s. São Paulo was led by Telê Santana, one of football’s greatest ever coaches! The team was legendary.

[@NerdChannelBrasil]

Some facts: Just Flamengo and São Paulo never got relegated, Santos was in 2023. The brasileirao first edition was in 1971, but recently CBF (brazilian federation) validated some older tournaments as brasileirao titles, some teams gained nationals title because of this, Palmeiras and Santos are ones of them but Palmeiras and Flamengo have been the dominating ones the past 5 seasons. Flamengo has the biggest number of supporters not only in Rio but in Brazil: Flamengo - Corinthians - São Paulo - Palmeiras, the 4 with more supporters. Cruzeiro went bankrupt and was relegated, then Ronaldo bought the team for the same amout of Money Real paid for Endrick lmao. But they went from 2 national titles in 2013-2014 to Serie B in 8 years, crazy things. Fortaleza is not in the big 12 but they are really big in their state and region. Tey had the 8° biggest average attendence in the season ahead of teams like Atletico MG - Atletico PR - Internacional - Cruzeiro - Vasco and Botafogo, only Vasco cannot have a higher average attendence due to the size of the stadium.

[@kaiserreich6482]

We consider many teams giants, tallers and smallers, so many people consider this tier list as the correct size: 1° São Paulo 2° Santos 3° Palmeiras/Flamengo (yes, they have so similar sizes) 4° Grêmio 5° Corinthians 6° Cruzeiro 7° Internacional 8° Vasco 9° Atlético MG 10° Fluminense

[@kauew.]

[@GuigsPlay]

Palmeiras is the most successful brazilian club in the copa libertadores (continental stage) and the most successful nationally, the only fair comparison between man city and palmeiras is that both are dominant in this past decade. Palmeiras is much bigger in history than Man City

[@PROPAROXITONO]

I will give here a Brazillian (and biased, I confess) perspective: Palmeiras: just don't support this club. (kidding (kind not kidding), I'm a Corinthians fan, the biggest rival...) Palmeiras is a club that takes pride in its Italian origins. It was founded by Italians and descendants in the early 1900s (it was called "Palestra Italia" at the time, their new stadium adopted this name), and it was very successful. in modern history (since 1978, when the current Brazillian league started), they had big phases with big sponsorships, 93/94 with Parmalat and nowadays with Crefisa. it's not like Man City because sponsorship is not ownership. the last league was kind of a surprise because Botafogo was dominating and flopped... Former players you may know: are Endrick and Gab Jesus. Grêmio: a very traditional club, with the craziest games you can imagine, including one against Inter (their biggest rival) in the 2020 Libertadores the game ended with just 8 players on each side and the "Batalha dos aflitos" that is too crazy to explain in words, google it. their fans are heavily located in the south of Brazil (in all 3 states) and some specific cities in other regions for migration reasons. it's known for its spirit of battle and success in cups. the kind of club that their supporters expect to see the blood of their players (google "Hugo de Leon grêmio" and look at the images, you'll understand) Former players you may know: Ronaldinho and Douglas Costa. Atlético Mineiro: since the last decade it has built some surprisingly good teams, and with even more surprising consistency. because the clubs outside the states of São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro ("Mineiro" means from the state of Minas Gerais) don't have the supporters (in terms of numbers) that these states have, so they don't have the money the Rio-São Paulo clubs have. and even excluding Rio-São Paulo, AM was still behind, until the last decade, clubs like Gremio and Inter. but now they are a force to be reckoned with. Former players you may know: Bremmer and Bernard. Flamengo: Don't support them. (kidding, again, I'm biased) They have the biggest fan base in Brazil, one of the biggest in the world. and because of that they survived with a lot of good teams even with a mess of directors. recently they have become much more organized and gained a lot of strength. and they sold Vini Jr, Rodrygo, and Lucas Paqueta for a ton of money, which facilitated even more their life. they don't own the Maracanã (it belongs to the state of Rio de Janeiro), but they play there. one of the teams with more history in Brazil, and have a lot of the media's attention (some say that too much attention). Former players you may know: Vini Junior, Rodrygo, Zico, Adriano Imperador, and Romário. (to be continued...)

The Brazilian League is probably the best league out of Europe, the teams, the fans, the stadiums, the atmosphere, everything is great in this League, thanks for also talking about all the teams and also talking about my team, Flamengo Also, just to say, Flamengo according to a lot of people and even CBF is actually 8 times a league champion, although this thing of them having 7 or 8 comes from the fact that the 1987 championship was a complete mess, to this day, Flamengo and Sport Recife fight for the title of that year in court, rivals say they have 7 and Sport has 1, fans say Flamengo has 8 and some people say that they both won the league that year, it's a pretty confusing story and it's still a debate around here Another thing, this time about Bragantino, it's sad and annoying they got bought by Red Bull, but honestly, it's impossible not to look at their history, in São Paulo they are so traditional and big, and they've also been runner-up of the league against São Paulo in 1991, its sad that they became a corporate and soulless club, but saying they have absolutely no tradition is a bit too much Sorry for making this comment this long, it's just that I really have a big connection to this league and it's usually hard to see someone talk about it

[@brushark9090]

In 1987 Flamengo won the proper championship while Sport won the second division. That year was a huge mess that actually started in the year before but to simplify, the Clube dos 13 (a recently at the time formed organization with the biggest clubs in the country back then) were told by CBF they had to do the championship themselves if they wanted any championship to happen, since CBF claimed to have no money. The tournament was supposed to have different modules representing the different divisions, with Flamengo being in the equivalent to the first and Sport the equivalent to the second. Close to the beginning of it all, CBF wanted to snatch it back and do it their own way with a final group stage with the champions and runner ups of the first and srcond division modules (Flamengo and Internacional, Sport and Guarani). During a meeting with representatives from CBF, Eurico Miranda (Vasco president and representative of Clube dos 13) was supposed to enforce the Clube's wish to keep it w/o the group stage at the end, but was pressured to accept the new rules and signed it, making it pretty much a betrayal. The teams from Clube dos 13 kept their wish to not change the rules and that pretty much made the tournament divided between the modules, to a point where Copa União (Clube dos 13 and first division) and the second division from CBF weren't even broadcasted by the same TV channels. At the end, Flamengo and Internacional made the finals of the Copa União but refused to play at the final group stage, with only Sport and Guarani being a part of it, which Sport won. Flamengo won a legit title, but Sport had a signed document with the rule changes on their side so legally, they are also winners. At the end of the day, you can't say either of them is the sole winner, but everyone that is not a Flamengo supporter claims Sport won just out of spite, and Flamengo supporters claim it's ours as a responsez but the whole discussion is unnecessary and asinine, if only CBF actually had the balls to properly share the title between both to end the discussion, considering shared titles happened a fair amount in our history. Sorry for the long post no one is gonna read lmao

[@brushark9090]

TL;DR: the 86 championship was mess that went over to 87, CBF claimed to be broke, gave the rights to organize a championship to the clubs, than wanted it back, tried to change everything, Eurico Miranda betrayed the league, Flamengo won the proper tournament, Sport won in court

Gremio is the King of Cups in Brazil, being the most successful Cup winner in the country with 1 Club World Cup, 3 Libertadores (most in BR), 5 Brazilian Cups (2nd most), 2 American Supercups (most in BR), and 1 Brazilian Supercup, totaling 12 cup wins, more than any other brazilian team. Also, its the only of the 5 teams tied with most Libertadores titles in Brazil that have won their 3 titles with 3 different squads. Palmeiras, Sao Paulo, Santos and Flamengo have all won back-to-back titles with the same winning squad of the year prior. And its the team with most seasons in the Brazilian top division (48). Sad that foreigners have started learning about brazilian football right when Gremio came back from relegation, as it seems some that havent done too much research think its a common occurance. Suarez is a legend, but Gremio is far from being dependent on him or any other player. If you dont remember, they are Ronaldinho's first team. And even he is not of great relevance compared to the club's history.
