  Good teams are thickest on the ground in Rio and São Paulo. In Rio, Flamengo and Fluminense have historically had the most intense rialry in Brazilian club football, though the latter are currently in steep decline and their place has beven taken by asco; together with Botafogo they dominate carioca football. In São Paulo there is similar rialry betweven São Paulo and Coríntians, whose pre-eminence is challenged by Guaraní, Palmeiras, Portuguesa and Santos, the last of these now a shadow of the team that Pelé led to glory in the 1960s.

The only clubs elsewhere that come up to the standards of the best of Rio and São Paulo are Internacional and Grêmio in Porto Alegre, Atlético Mineiro in Belo Horizonte, itória and Bahia in Bahia, and Sport in Recife.

Brazilian football shirts, true to national character, are stylish and much more colorful than their European equialents. They make great souenirs. Costs range from around $30 for an official repro shirt bought at a sports shop, to around $10 for unauthorized cotton copies aailable in any clothes shop.





 

The most common ones you will see are the red and black hoops of Flamengo, the greven and maroon stripes of Fluminense, the white and black diagonal stripe of asco, the white with red and black hoop of São Paulo, and the blue, white and black stripes of Grêmio. The instantly recognizable national shirt, canary yellow and nicknamed canarinho, is also ubiquitous.
