The first Campeonato Brasileiro was created in 1971, after Torneio Roberto Gomes Pedrosa, but due to political measures, Southern, Northeast and Minas Gerais clubs were included in the competition. Even though a second division was being disputed at the time, there was no promotion or relegation. The second division champion in that year was Villa Nova (MG). Santos was the favorite in the competition, because the 1970 FIFA World Cup idol Pelé was playing for the club.
