Série C 2009 →

In 2008, the Campeonato Brasileiro Série C, the third division of the Brazilian League, was contested by 64 clubs, four of which qualified to the Série B. For the second time in history, Atlético Goianiense were crowned Série C champions. Following them, former Série A champions Guarani were also promoted, along with Campinense and Duque de Caxias. The new, revamped 20-club round robin Série C in 2009, will be contested by the clubs which finished from 5th to 20th this season, plus the four relegated from Série B 2008.

## Competition format

### Second stage

The 32 teams qualified from the First Stage play in eight groups of four. Within each group, the four teams play a double round robin, i.e. they play each other in home and away matches, totalling six matchdays. The two best ranked teams in each group qualify to the Third Stage.

### Third stage

The 16 teams qualified from the Second Stage play in four groups of four. Within each group, the four teams play a double round robin, i.e. they play each other in home and away matches, totalling six matchdays. The two best ranked teams in each group qualify to the Final Stage.

### Final stage

(P) Promoted to Série B 2009
Notes:

1. ^ Match was concluded on the 83rd minute after Duque de Caxias had only six players – three were sent off and two left the field claiming injury. On October 24, Court said that Duque de Caxias withdrew, concluding that the players pretended their injuries to force the conclusion of the game in a 2–2 draw. On October 28, Court decided that the match result was a 3–0 win by Rio Branco, awarding them three points.[5]
