Part 5/7:
In light of the state championships lagging in popularity and relevance, voices like that of the prospective CBF president Ronaldo have emerged, calling for a re-evaluation of the current football calendar. The proposal suggests a need for a drastic restructuring of state competitions to make them more appealing.
The vision includes a condensed format inspired by the World Cup, where tournaments could be structured with fewer matches but higher stakes. This would not only save time but also retain the competitive spirit while ensuring teams still gain something significant, such as qualification for the Copa do Brasil.
