About Campeonato Pernambucano 1
Campeonato Pernambucano 1 History, Format, Organization, Media Coverage
The Campeonato Pernambucano 1, known as the Campeonato Pernambucano de Futebol in full, is the top-flight league for the state of Pernambuco in Brazil. The tournament is organized by the Federação Pernambucana de Futebol (FPF) and began in 1915.
The inaugural Campeonato Pernambucano title was won by Flamengo de Recife, a club founded in 1914 but later dissolved. The competition has undergone format changes over the years. In 2017, for example, 12 teams contested for the title, with three being given a bye to the second round while the remaining nine were drawn into three groups of three. In 2018, they ditched this format and placed all 11 contestants in a single group for the first round, which was a single round-robin phase. Each team faced the other 10 once, with the eight highest-placed sides moving on to the knockout stage and the bottom two being relegated. The quarter-finals, semi-finals, and third-place playoff were single-leg affairs while the final was held over two legs.
The 2019 edition followed a similar format to that of the year before. However, the number of participants decreased once more with only 10 clubs taking part. Things were shaken up again come the 2020 season as the top two teams from the 10 qualified straight for the semi-finals while the teams in places three to six faced off in the quarter-finals to make the last four. The bottom four teams entered the relegation phase, a separate single round-robin tournament, with each side facing the other three clubs once. The bottom two teams after this round was completed were demoted to the Campeonato Pernambucano Série A2, the region’s second division.
The champions of the Campeonato Pernambucano 1 qualify for the Copa do Brasil and Copa do Nordeste.
