Controversies in Title Claims
The championship title counts spark debates, notably regarding the contentious 1987 season. The Clube dos 13 initiated the Copa União, where Flamengo emerged victorious. Meanwhile, the CBF organized the Módulo Amarelo, won by Sport.
The conflict arose when Flamengo rejected the CBF’s plan for playoffs between the two modules. Years later, the courts recognized Sport as the official champion for 1987, a position still upheld by the CBF. This issue remains a point of contention among football fans and experts in Brazil.
