Why does Brazil have 12 major clubs, while in many countries that number is much lower?

In this video, I analyze how the State Championships helped build the culture of Brazilian football, creating historic rivalries, revealing champions every year, and strengthening clubs that often lacked the conditions to compete for national titles.

I also explain how access to the English Championship worked in its early years, when new clubs depended on the approval of the other participants, and I compare this evolution with the history of the Brazilian Championship, which only consolidated the system of promotion and relegation by points in 2003.

In addition, I discuss:

✅ The impact of state championships on the formation of large fan bases.

✅ Why Brazil has so many clubs considered "big".

✅ How state championships influence the national calendar and competitions.

✅ What could be done to modernize Brazilian football without losing its tradition.

If you enjoy football history and discussions about Brazilian football, this video is for you.
