The Torneio Início Carioca (English: Campeonato Carioca Warm-up Tournament) was a traditional tournament that took place in Brazil marking the start date of the state championships.[1]

Format

The matches were held with 20 or 30 minutes, and many times, corners served as a tiebreaker. These matches, as they do not follow the criteria established by FIFA, are not considered official, only the tournaments are endorsed by the respective organizing federations of the state championships.
