Brazilian Football Titles by State

About This Dataset

This chart ranks Brazil's states by the number of national championship titles won by clubs based there. Titles from all clubs in a state are combined. Only states with at least one title are included.

✨ AI Insight

Sao Paulo state leads with 34 titles, nearly double Rio de Janeiro's 19, and together the two states account for 53 of Brazil's championships. This is the sharpest regional concentration in the country's football, and it tracks economic power closely, as Sao Paulo and Rio are Brazil's two wealthiest and most populous states. Minas Gerais are a distant third on seven, drawn from Cruzeiro and Atletico Mineiro, followed by Rio Grande do Sul on five. The rest of this vast country barely registers: Bahia and Parana have two each and Pernambuco one, meaning the entire north and northeast of Brazil have produced just three national champions in the competition's history.
