Campeonato Pernambucano
The Campeonato Pernambucano is the top-flight professional state football league in the Brazilian state of Pernambuco. It is run by the Pernambuco Football Federation.
History
The first edition of the Campeonato Pernambucano was played in 1915, and was won by Flamengo de Recife, a defunct club.In 1936, Tramways became undefeated state champions with a team made up of players who were paid a salary. This led to significant changes in the structure of football in Pernambuco, heralding the definitive transition from amateurism to professionalism. The following season, Central's defender Zago became the first player to be registered as a professional by the Pernambuco Sports Federation, marking the official start of professionalism in the state.
