Janeiro had won the 1946 Brazilian Championship of State Teams.

a vencedora do Campeonato Brasileiro de Sele��es Estaduais de 1946.

[**] Originally, the berths in Ta�a Libertadores 1969 would be awarded to winner and
runner-up of Ta�a Brasil 1968. In December/1968, however, noting that Ta�a Brasil 1968
would not end before the start of Ta�a Libertadores 1969, CBD stated that the Brazilian
berths would be filled by the winner and runner-up of Ta�a de Prata 1968.
Later, in 23/12/1968, CBD declared that no Brazilian club would play in Ta�a Libertadores
1969, since Brazil disagreed of the format of the tournament, whose dates would conflict
with the preparatives of Sele��o Brasileira to the 1970 World Cup Qualifying matches.
Originalmente, as vagas na Ta�a Libertadores 1969 seriam concedidas ao campe�o e ao
vice-campe�o da Ta�a Brasil 1968. Em dezembro de 1968, por�m, percebendo que a Ta�a
Brasil 1968 n�o terminaria antes do in�cio da Ta�a Libertadores 1969, a CBD decidiu que
as vagas brasileiras seriam preenchidas pelo campe�o e pelo vice-campe�o da Ta�a de
Prata 1968.
Posteriormente, em 23/12/1968, a CBD declarou que nenhum clube brasileiro disputaria a
Ta�a Libertadores 1969, pois o Brasil discordava da f�rmula de disputa do torneio, cujas
datas atrapalhariam a prepara��o da Sele��o Brasileira para as Eliminat�rias para a Copa
do Mundo de 1970.
Yet in december/1968, when CBD gave the berths in Ta�a Libertadores 1969 to the winner
and runner-up of Ta�a de Prata 1968, the president of Botafogo FR suggested that the
winner and runner-up of Ta�a Brasil 1968 (which ended only in december/1969) would be
qualified to Ta�a Libertadores 1970.
This suggestion was somehow accepted, when CBD decided to give the berths in Ta�a
Libertadores 1970 to the finalists of teh newly created Torneio dos Campe�es. Since
the champion of Ta�a Brasil would enter directly in Torneio dos Campe�es' final, one
of the berths was guaranteed as, at least, runner-up. However, CBD eventually decided
to maintain Brazilian clubs out of Ta�a Libertadores 1970, still in disagree of the
format of the tournament.
Ainda em dezembro de 1968, quando a CBD passou as vagas na Ta�a Libertadores 1969 ao
campe�o e ao vice-campe�o da Ta�a de Prata 1968, o presidente do Botafogo sugeriu que
o campe�o e o vice-campe�o da Ta�a Brasil de 1968 (que s� viria a terminar em dezembro
de 1969) fossem classificados para a Ta�a Libertadores 1970.
Essa sugest�o foi de certa forma acatada quando a CBF decidiu conceder as vagas � Ta�a
Libertadores aos finalistas do rec�m-criado Torneio dos Campe�es. Como o campe�o da Ta�a
Brasil entraria diretamente na final do Torneio dos Campe�es, uma das vagas j� lhe estaria
garantida como, no m�nimo, vice-campe�o. Contudo, a CBD acabou n�o inscrevendo clubes
brasileiros na Ta�a Libertadores 1970, ainda por discord�ncia do formato do torneio.
