Brazilian football champions are the winners of the highest league in Brazilian football, which since 1971 is considered the national championship.
In 2010, the Brazilian Football Confederation additionally recognized the winners of the Taça Brasil (1959–68) and the Torneio Roberto Gomes Pedrosa (1967–70) as Brazilian football champions l. It has also briefely recognized the controversial Green Module of "Copa união" won by Flamengo in 1987 as a Brazilian Title, but was forced to backtrack on this decision soon later [1][2][3]
In 25 August 2023, the 1937 Copa dos Campeões Estaduais is also recognized as an official title.[4][5][6]
