This is because in 2010 the Brazilian Confederation implemented what became known as the unification of Brazilian titles. In the process, the Silver Cup and the Roberto Gomez Pedrosa Championship, competitions held between 1959 and 1970, became Brazilian championships.
Thus, Palmeiras has four more official titles to its credit. Santos now has six more. Finally, Fluminense, Botafogo, Cruzeiro and Bahia had another team. The top 3 official titles in Brazil are: Palmeiras (12 titles), Flamengo (nine titles) and Santos (eight).
In the “Brazilian Championship Era”, which began in 1971 with the National Club Championship, won by Atletico MG, Flamengo won its nine titles (1980, 1982, 1983, 1987, 1992, 2009, 2019, 2020 and 2025), while Palmeiras won eight titles (1972, 1973, 1973). 1993, 1994, 2016, 2018, 2022 and 2023).
