Taça Brasil

The Taça Brasil (English: Brazil Cup) was the Brazilian national football championship contested from 1959 to 1968. It is considered by many historians as the most important football tournament in Brazil at the time. Bahia, Cruzeiro and Botafogo were the only champions to have played all phases of the tournament, because until the 1968 edition teams from Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo were already qualified to the semi-finals. Both Cruzeiro and Bahia, the only champions not from Rio or São Paulo, beat the great and world-famous Santos of Pelé, Coutinho and Pepe.
