1951 Copa Rio
Encyclopedia
The Copa Rio was arguably the first intercontinental soccer
club tournament. Brazilian press, at the time, dubbed it as "club world cup", a title that would later be applied to the Toyota Cup
. Copa Rio presented a format resembling the one adopted by FIFA
in the very first edition of FIFA Club World Cup
held in 2000.
The two editions of Copa Rio took place in Rio de Janeiro
and São Paulo
, Brazil
and were organized by the Brazilian Football Confederation
, and endorsed by FIFA.
In 1951, Palmeiras
, from Brazil
, was the winner of the tournament, while Fluminense
, also from Brazil, won this title in 1952.
The competition was succeeded by another tournament, named Torneio Octogonal Rivadavia Corrêa Meyer, which was won by Vasco da Gama
, of Brazil. This tournament which succeeded Copa Rio had a different format, with the predominance of Brazilian teams (five Brazilian sides, and three foreign clubs), thus, losing its intercontinental aspect. In December 2007, FIFA decided that the first World Club Cup was played in 2000, thus not recognizing Copa Rio and Toyota Cup as official FIFA competitions.
