Campeonato Brasileiro Série A

Brazilian association football league

The Campeonato Brasileiro Série A (Brazilian Portuguese pronunciation: [kɐ̃pi.oˈnatu bɾaziˈlejɾu ˈsɛɾi ˈa, kɐ̃pjo-]; English: "Brazilian Championship A Series"), commonly referred to as the Brasileirão (pronounced [bɾazilejˈɾɐ̃w]; English: "Big Brazilian" or "Great Brazilian"), the Série A or the Brazilian Série A (to distinguish it from Italy's Serie A), is a professional association football league in Brazil and the highest level of the Brazilian football league system. Contested by 20 clubs, it operates on a system of promotion and relegation with the Campeonato Brasileiro Série B. In 2021, the competition was chosen by the IFFHS as the strongest national league in the world. Due to historical peculiarities and the large geographical size of the country, Brazil has a relatively short history of nationwide football competitions.
