That year, the CBF was experiencing serious fiscal and institutional crises and was unable to secure sponsorship to organize the national backing as in years anterior. As a result, the thirteen biggest clubs in Brazil ( which included Flamengo ) reacted and created a new entity named the Club of 13 to organize a backing of their own. The CBF primitively supported the decisiveness by the Club of 13, but were pressured by other clubs to create a larger home tournament. As a leave, CBF placed three extra clubs into the Copa União, regarded the Copa União as the “ green Module, ” and organized a second “ yellow Module ” of 16 other teams. CBF then decided that for the 1987 brazilian Championship, the winners and runner-up of both modules would face each other in a knockout-style cup to determine the national champion and qualification for the Copa Libertadores, although this decision was made after the begin of the championship, without Club of 13 agreement. With strong performances from Zico, Zé Carlos, Renato Gaúcho and Bebeto, Flamengo conquered the Copa União with major victories over Internacional and Atlético Mineiro. however, there was a dispute over whether Flamengo and Internacional of the green Module would dispute the quadrangular against Sport Recife and Guarani of the Yellow Module.

Flamengo still did not participate in the concluding under the reason that it would merely determine the entrants of the Copa Libertadores and not the brazilian home supporter. [ 20 ] CBF formally recognized Sport as the sole champion in 1987 and they qualified to the Copa Libertadores. In 2011, CBF retroactively declared Flamengo supporter of 1987. [ 21 ] however, Sport former appealed the decision to a Common Justice Tribunal, which is prohibited by FIFA, and CBF ultimately declared Sport as the lone ace of that class.
