Copa Norte

At the end of the 1960s and beginning of the 1970s, the first regional tournaments began to emerge in Brazilian football. However, it was in 1997 that the Copa Norte came into being. Teams from the northern region of Brazil participated, with the exception of Tocantins, along with teams from Maranhão and Piauí, in the northeast region. From 1997 to 1999, the winner of the Copa Norte qualified for the Copa CONMEBOL. From 2000 to 2002, the champion went on to compete in the Copa dos Campeões. Following changes to the Brazilian football calendar, the tournament was discontinued in 2003. However, in October 2025, the CBF announced the return of the competition after 24 years. ==Format==
