The Campeonato Catarinense is the top-flight professional state football league in the Brazilian state of Santa Catarina. It is run by the Santa Catarina Football Federation (FCF).

History

The Catarinense has had different names throughout its history. It started out as the Liga de Florianópolis (organised by the then Liga Santa Catharina de Desportos Terrestres) in its early years, and then changed to the Campeonato de Santa Catarina (Santa Catarina Championship) when it began to accept clubs from outside Florianópolis, the state capital.

Until 1924, sports in the Santa Catarina state were practiced by clubs that competed in various disciplines, including athletics, swimming, rowing, target shooting, and football. Competitions were held in the form of tournaments, athletic events, and friendly matches, with the winners being declared champions. Recognizing the need to unite the clubs under an entity that would officially guide and regulate the practice of these sports, the idea of establishing an organization to bring together practitioners of all sports disciplines emerged in Florianópolis.

On April 12, 1924, a group of sports enthusiasts gathered to found the Santa Catarina League of Land Sports (LCDT). Subsidized by the State Government, the LCDT took charge of organizing surface sports, including championships in athletics, target shooting, and football. It also affiliated itself with the Brazilian Sports Confederation (CBD). Until 1927, competitions were limited to clubs from the state capital Florianópolis.

On August 15, 1927, the LCDT was replaced by the Santa Catarina Sports Federation (FCD). The 1924, 1925 and 1926, editions of the Florianópolis Championship were later approved as the State Championship by the Santa Catarina Football Federation.

The FCD faced competition in the state capital when the Florianópolis Football League (LFF) was founded on May 7, 1937. Although affiliated with the FCD, the LFF assumed control of football in the capital. However, the growing practice of various sports disciplines across the state led to the creation of specific federations for each sport, leaving the FCD to oversee only football. As a result, in 1951, it was renamed the Santa Catarina Football Federation (FCF). The LFF was subsequently dissolved, and a capital football department was established. Efforts were made to encourage the creation of leagues in the interior regions, with affiliated clubs participating in official championships.

From 1986 to 2003, it was named Campeonato Catarinense Primeira Divisão (Santa Catarina Championship Premier Division). In 2004 and in 2005, the competition name was Série A1, and since 2006, the competition is named Divisão Principal (Top Division).[]

The Campeonato Catarinense, also known as the Santa Catarina State Championship, is a prestigious regional football tournament held annually in the state of Santa Catarina, Brazil. Organized by the Federação Catarinense de Futebol (FCF), this competition features some of the top clubs from the region competing for the state title. Established in 1924, the tournament showcases a rich football tradition and serves as a platform for local talent to shine. Teams such as Avaí FC, Figueirense FC, and Joinville Esporte Clube are among the prominent participants, fiercely contesting matches that combine passionate fan support with intense rivalry. The Campeonato Catarinense not only determines the state champion but also plays a crucial role in qualification for national competitions, making it a key fixture in Brazil’s vibrant football calendar.
