The tournament was discontinued after the introduction of a
national championship (in 1971,
following the Taça de Prata
(or Torneio Roberto Gomes Pedrosa) from 1967 to 1970).
In December 2010, the CBF decided to recognise the ten tournaments
played for the Taça do Brasil as official championships.
A new cup tournament, called Copa do Brasil, was introduced in 1989, in order to appease the smaller states, whose clubs had been excluded from the first level since the creation of the Copa União in 1987.
The winners of the Copa do Brasil also enter the Copa Libertadores de América, for which each country now has two entries (Brazil four starting from the 2000 edition).
From 1989 to 1994, 32 teams participated in the Copa do Brasil, the state champions and the runners-up from the states with the highest average attendance for the local championship. (Some states entered their local cup winners or teams selected according to other criteria.) In 1995, four third-placed teams were also allowed to enter. In 1996, along with the 32 traditional entries, the 8 teams with the highest average attendance in the national championship were invited. Since 1997, teams have been invited by CBF (in addition to the 32 traditional entries) according to unpublished criteria.
