Background of the Brazilian Football Leagues System –

The Problem
The Brazilian Football Association (Confederação Brasileira de Futebol, “CBF”), founded in
1914, is the national governing body for football, recognized by FIFA. CBF is a private entity
under the Brazilian Civil Code. CBF’s institutional purposes, as stated in its social statute, is,
among others, to administrate, direct, control, foment, disseminate, improve and supervise
the practice of professional and non-professional football within the whole national territory.
This also includes the coordination of executing football competitions, in each of its forms, to
maintain the sportive order and to watch for the discipline within the practice of football.
Finally, to represent the Brazilian football abroad and to respect, abide by and enforce FIFA’s
and CONMEBOL’s regulations.

It is important to highlight some numbers regarding the Brazilian football to present an
overview. The last ofcial estimative by CBF, released in 2009, demonstrates a total of 783
professional football clubs. From which, 520 clubs are playing professional competitions.
The number of football players is also surprising to some, by the end of 2015, there were
28.203 professional and 22.782 amateur football players in Brazil (according to CBF).
The Brazilian football calendar is played from January to December, in opposite to the reality
in Europe. Due to its huge territorial area, Brazil has an interesting aspect, the dispute of
State Championships. The State Championships take place in each of the 26 States plus the
Federal District. Historically and for geographical and economic reasons, it has developed a
strong culture of disputing the State Championships, which reinforces the rivalry between
clubs from the same regions. These championships take place during the rst part of the
season, for a period of three to four months.

There are two national championships in Brazil, the Brazilian Cup and the Brazilian
Championship. The Brazilian Cup is played by 64 clubs, in 18 match days, from March to
November. It is played in a Cup format, which means play-offs (through draws), until the
Champion is decided in a two-leg

Brazilian Avaí Football Club is kicking into cryptocurrency with new ICO

Avaí Football Club from the Brazilian league has announced a partnership with SportyCo and Blackbridge Sports in order to launch an ICO to raise funds.

Brazilian Avaí Football Club has announced that it will be launching its own digital currency.

The club revealed the news in a press release stating that it will be launching an initial coin offering (ICO) to sell the token and to raise funds. In order to develop the cryptocurrency, the club has teamed up with SportyCo and Blackbridge Sports.

SportyCo is a sports-focused community and seems a good fit for the project. Similarly, Blackbridge Sports, as a football investment platform is well suited to the fundraising scheme. Avaí FC, together with the two partners, has a goal to raise a total of $20 million USD in the ICO.

The co-founder of SportyCo, Marko Filej, expressed his enthusiasm at the new partnership:

“We look forward to working with Avaí FC and see how they intend to launch their new digital currency with the SportyCo platform that has always been leading innovation in the world of sports finance and sportsmanship. With this initial money offer, we are opening a new chapter in football and the sports industry in general.”

Here is some statystics for ya..
All from the Whitepaper:

The 20 teams registered to play in the 2015 Série A season recorded their annual amount of
turnover: all clubs summed 3.6 billion Brazilian Reais, equivalent to $1.34 billion US Dollars.
Despite the financial macroeconomic crisis that Brazil was/is facing, the top teams were able
to increase their incomes by 26% in comparison with the 2014 season. (Época, 2016)
This means that Brazilian football was able to increase its nancials on a superior rate, in
comparison to the monetary devaluation. This performance, against the current situation in
Brazil demonstrates the potential of football in this country. The explanation for this growth is
based on three factors: players, TV rights and the Fans. The international transfers, less
susceptible to the internal financial crisis, had an increase of 71% to income, in comparison
to the 2014 figures. The TV rights, negotiated with Rede Globo represented an increase of
30%. The combination between memberships and match-days sales were responsible for an
increase of 24% in the same period. Another important (slow burning) factor is the
generation of marketing and commercial incomes, increasing by 9% in comparison with
2014.

Brazilian football leagues system is a system of a vast number of interconnected leagues,
consisted of different pyramids, most notably the national and state pyramids. On national
level Campeonato Brasileiro Série A is the top division (Tier 1). Below the Campeonato
Brasileiro Série A are Campeonato Brasileiro Série B (Tier 2), followed by Campeonato
Brasileiro Série C (Tier 3) and Campeonato Brasileiro Série D (Tier 4). There is a number of
leagues of lower tiers.

The entire system is based on promotions and relegations where the top ranked teams in a
particular division is being promoted into a higher division and the teams at the bottom are
being relegated into a lower division.

Série A is the highest division in Brazilian football and consists of 20 teams playing. Bottom
four placed teams are relegated to Série B. Série B is the second highest division in and
consist of 20 teams. The top four teams in Series B are promoted to Série A. And the bottom
four placed teams are relegated to Série C.

https://t.me/SportyCo_official

The discussion for AVAI ICO is on the Sportyco group, not like a single fc group ?

[CypherOG]

WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU DON’T REACH YOUR GOAL?
If we will receive less than $8 million in contributions, the funds will be returned to contributors at the end of the token crowdsale.

and than stop with the project ? no ?

Yes, if the softcap of $8,000,000 / 8,000,000 AVAI tokens is not met, then the project will not go ahead and all funds contributed be refunded.

The rest of the tokens will probably not be issued right ?

Avaí is issuing up to 22,000,000 AVAI Tokens. A maximum of 20,460,000,000 AVAI Tokens (93%) will be available for purchase in the Crowdsale, with the other 7% retained by AVAI – being a maximum of 1,540,000 AVAI Tokens (7%) – and used for advisors, special promotions and similar. Unsold tokens in the crowdsale will be burn't.
