The history of Brazilian Serie A football
The Brasileirão (Campeonato Brasileiro Série A) is the primary professional football league in Brazil. It was established in its current format in 1959, though regional championships existed before then.
The league has undergone several format changes throughout its history, from the Taça Brasil format to the current round-robin system with 20 teams.
The Brasileirão is considered one of the strongest leagues in South America and has produced numerous world-class players and continental champions.
