Campeonato Brasileiro Série C
Encyclopedia
The Campeonato Brasileiro Série C is the third division of Brazilian football
.
Unlike the first and second divisions, the Série C is not played in a double round robin system, arguably because many participating teams lack the financial conditions to travel long distances. Thus, the tournament is organized in regional groups and the table prevents teams from distant states to play each other in the initial rounds.
Until 2008, any professional team could apply, but only 64 teams would take part in the tournament. The teams that had been relegated from Série B
in the previous year were joined by teams qualified for each federation state. Qualification rules varied, some federations used the state tournaments as qualification tournaments, others organized exclusive qualification tournaments to the Série C.
Beginning in 2009, Série C was reduced from 64 teams to 20 and a new Campeonato Brasileiro Série D
is the qualifier for Brazilian league football. Currently, the division is composed of four teams relegated from Série B, four teams promoted from Série D and twelve teams that were not relegated or promoted in the previous Série C.
