The 1960 Campeonato Brasileiro Série A (officially the 1960 Taça Brasil) was the 3rd edition of the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A. It began on 6 September 1960, and ended on 28 December 1960.[1]

Format

[edit]

The competition was a single elimination knockout tournament featuring two-legged ties, with a Tie-Break (play-off) if the sides were tied on points (however, if the tie-break was a draw, the aggregate score of the first two legs was used to determine the winner).
