Brazilian Copa do Nordeste

The Copa do Nordeste de Futebol (also known as Nordestão, Campeonato do Nordeste and Lampions League) is a football competition played between teams from the Northeast region of Brazil.

Considered one of the most important regional championships in the country (by some, the most important), the "Nordestão" was an intermittent competition in the Brazilian football calendar in its early years. First officially organized in 1994, the tournament was played continuously between 1997 and 2003, when it became organized by the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF). Almost all of its editions were canceled between 2004 and 2012, with the exception of the 2010 edition. It returned to the Brazilian football calendar again in 2013.

Between the 1997 and 1999 editions, the champion also guaranteed a place in the Copa Conmebol, but from the 2000 to 2013 editions the champion did not guarantee a place because the Copa Conmebol was abolished. Between the 2014 and 2016 editions, the champions obtained a place in the Copa Sudamericana of the same year. In 2017 to 2019, the champion would guarantee a direct place in the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil of the following year. From 2020 onwards, the champion also obtains a place in the national tournament of the following year in the third phase of the competition.

In the 19 editions held, there were nine champion clubs. Bahia and Vitória (rival clubs from Salvador, who face off in the Ba-Vi derby) are the biggest winners of the "Nordestão", with four titles each. Sport, Ceará and Fortaleza were champions on three occasions. América de Natal, Campinense, Santa Cruz and Sampaio Corrêa have one title each.
