Torneio Centro-Sul
Football league
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Torneio Centro-Sul (English: Central-South Tournament), was a football competition held during the years of 1968 and 1969, reuniting clubs of the part south of Brazil as a qualifier for the Torneio dos Campeões da CBD, likewise Torneio Norte-Nordeste. The tournament had only two editions, but ended up being abandoned due to lack of interest from clubs and the discontinuity of the Torneio dos Campeões.[1]
