The Campeonato Carioca, also known as Campeonato Estadual do Rio de Janeiro, is the football league of the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

The first season of the Campeonato Carioca was played in 1906 and it is thus the second oldest in Brazil, behind only the Campeonato Paulista of São Paulo.

History

In the beginning of the 20th century, the number of football clubs in Rio de Janeiro and Niterói largely increased, being founded clubs such as Rio Cricket and Athletic Association in Niterói, Fluminense Football Club in 1902, and Bangu Atlético Club, América Football Club, and Botafogo Football Club in 1904. Football became very popular, and was initiated a campaign to organize a football league reuniting clubs such as Rio Cricket and Athletic Association, Fluminense Football Club, Football and Athletic Club, América Football Club, Bangu Atlético Club, Sport Club Petrópolis and Payssandu Cricket Club. On June 8, 1905, was founded the Liga Metropolitana de Football (Metropolitan Football League, in English, also called LMF. LMF's first president was Bangu's José Villas Boas, shortly being replaced by Francis Walter in december of the same year.

In 1906, was disputed the first edition of Campeonato Carioca, by six clubs: Fluminense, Botafogo, Bangu, Football and Athletic, Payssandu and Rio Cricket. América, even being one of the league founders, did not dispute the league's first edition. Fluminense was the first Rio de Janeiro state champion.

On February 29, 1908, Fluminense, Botafogo, América, Paysandu, Rio Cricket, and Riachuelo founded Liga Metropolitana de Sports Athleticos (which means Athletic Sports Metropolitan League, in English) usually known as LMSA, which organized the Campeonato Carioca of that year, which was won by Fluminense.

In 1911, Botafogo abandoned LMSA, and founded Associação de Football do Rio de Janeiro (which means Rio de Janeiro Football Association, in English), also known as AFRJ. The league was nicknamed Liga Barbante (which means String League), because Botafogo was the only significant club disputing the competition. AFRJ was incorporated by LMSA in 1913.

In 1917, after several accusations of bribery, LMSA was replaced by Liga Metropolitana de Desportos Terrestres (Terrestrial Sports Metropolitan League, in English), usually known as LMDT. Fluminense won the competition of that year.

On March 1, 1924, occurred the first league splitting, being founded Associação Metropolitana de Esportes Athleticos (which means Athletic Sports Metropolitan Association, in English), usually known as AMEA. AMEA imposed discriminatory rules against blacks and lower class citzens to their members. AMEA's competition was won by Fluminense, and LMDT's competition was won by Vasco da Gama.

On January 23, 1933 was founded Liga Carioca de Futebol (Carioca Football League, in English), also known as LCF.

On December 11, 1934, Botafogo, Vasco, Bangu, São Cristóvão, Andaraí, Olaria, Carioca and Madureira founded Federação Metropolitana de Desportos (which means Sports Metropolitan Federation, in English), usually known as FMD. This federation incorporated AMEA.

In 1937, the Brazilian football clubs became professional teams.

On July 29, 1937, FMD and LCF fused, giving origin to Liga de Football do Rio de Janeiro (which means Rio de Janeiro Football League), also called LFRJ. In 1941, LFRJ changed its name to Federação Metropolitana de Futebol (which means Metropolitan Football Federation), also known as FMF. To celebrate the fusion, a friendly match between Vasco da Gama and América was playing. Because of this match, the matches played between Vasco and América are nicknamed Clássico da Paz, which means Peace Derby, in English.

On April 21, 1960, the Brazilian capital city was transferred to Brasília, so, Federação Metropolitana de Futebol changed its name to Federação Carioca de Futebol (Carioca Football Federation, in English), also called FCF. América won the state championship of that year.

On July, 1974, Rio de Janeiro and Guanabara states fused.

On September 29, 1978, Federação de Futebol do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (Rio de Janeiro State Football Federation, in English), also known as FERJ, was founded, after Guanabara state's FCF and Rio de Janeiro state's FFD (which means Federação Fluminense de Desportos, or Sports Football Federation, in English) fused.

In 1979, there was an extra edition of Campeonato Carioca which also included the countryside state teams, which, until that year, disputed the Campeonato Fluminense. This extra competition, known as Primeiro Campeonato Estadual de Profissionais (First Professionals State Championship, in English) was won by Flamengo. The regular competition was also won by Flamengo.

In 1996, was disputed Taça Cidade Maravilhosa, only between clubs from Rio de Janeiro city. This competition was disputed by eight teams (América, Bangu, Botafogo, Flamengo, Fluminense, Madureira, Olaria and Vasco da Gama), which played against each other once. Botafogo was the champion, being Flamengo the runner-up. In the same year, was disputed a state championship, which was won by Flamengo.

Format

The competition is usually divided in three stages: the traditional Taça Guanabara, Taça Rio, and the finals, which are disputed between the winners of Taça Guanabara and Taça Rio.
