2017 Campeonato Capixaba |
The Campeonato Capixaba is the football league of the Brazilian state of Espírito Santo.
From 1917 to 1929, it was disputed the Campeonato da Cidade de Vitória (Vitória City Championship), a competition contested only by Vitória city clubs. In 1930, this competition was replaced by the current competition, the Campeonato Capixaba, which is disputed by clubs from the Espírito Santo state.
As in any other Brazilian football championship, the format can change every year.
The Copa Espírito Santo (English: Espírito Santo Cup) is a competition contested in the second semester of the year, by Espírito Santo state teams, to determine a spot in the following year's Copa do Brasil.
