In 1987, the CBF claimed that they didn't have the money to arrange the championship. So biggest clubs in Brazil decided to create the "13 club" that have the 4 biggest teams of Rio (Flamengo, Fluminense, Vasco, Botafogo), São Paulo (São Paulo, Corinthians, Palmeiras and Santos), Minas Gerais (Cruzeiro, Atlético Mineiro) and Rio Grande do Sul ( Internacional, Grêmio) and the biggest club in the Northeast of the Country, Bahia. When the Championship was created these clubs only wanted teams with a lot of supporters, so they left Guarani and América Rj, respectively 2nd and 3rd place in 1986. But the "13 club" still had some support of CBF, The only requirement of the entity to officialize the Brazilian Championship was the inclusion of three other clubs from other states, that were Goiás, Coritiba and Santa Cruz. With defined participants, the 13 Club ran behind financial support. João Henrique Areias and Celso Grellet, marketing directors of Flamengo and São Paulo, led the commercial project. The tournament was named "Copa União" to have a brand that emphasized the new phase of Brazilian football and could be licensed by several companies. In addition, the organization obtained the official sponsorship of Rede Globo, Coca-Cola and Varig. The way the Union Cup appeared left several disgruntled clubs. The leaders of the movement were America-RJ, Guarani and Portuguesa felt harmed, because they would have the right to be in the elite for the performance in the 1986 Brasileirão. "You can not accept a Brazilian Championship in which the big clubs saw the table just because they do not want Share the tournament with no one, "says Homero Lacerda, Sport's soccer director and club president in 1987." The leaders of all other clubs have always been against this authoritarian attitude of the 13 club at the time." The commercial success of the competition organized by the Club of 13 also jumped in the eyes of CBF. Thus, the entity decided to organize a competition with 16 clubs that were outside the Copa União. It used as a criterion the classification of the Brasileirão of 1986, despite leaving aside the Ponte Preta in favor of Sport, and obtained the support of a brazilian TV, SBT. CBF changed its discourse and stopped considering the Copa União as the Brasileirão. At that moment, the big tournament would be the Green Module and the other, the Yellow. The two best of each module would face each other to set the national champion. The 13 Club decided to boycott the crossing. However, CBF enjoyed support from within the club union. "Eurico Miranda was Vasco's soccer vice president and was our partner at CBF," says Aidar. "He betrayed us and gave the green light to CBF to turn the table, even against the determination of the other 12 clubs not to cross with the Yellow Module." The 13 Club did not sign the regulation proposed by the confederation, but was already open to Breakthrough for confusion. The two tournaments walked and there was no mention of crossing. For the media, the Brazilian title was decided in the Copa União. Flamengo won the tournament by surprising Telê Santana's unbeaten Atlético-MG in the semi-final and beating Internacional in the decision. The Yellow Module had mishaps. Nor did the possibility of crossing satisfied America-RJ and Portuguesa, who decided to boycott the tournament. The Lusa came back later, but the items, in fact, did not play a single match. In the end, Guarani and Sport divided the title after a draw at 11 to 11 in the penalty shootout. In January of that year, the CBF imposed its regulation and determined that a quadrangular would be realized between Flamengo, Internacional, Sport and Guarani. Flamenguistas and Colorados confirmed the decision to boycott the crossing and did not attend the semifinals. Thus, Sport and Guarani made the final, won by the Pernambucans. The two teams represented Brazil in the Copa Libertadores and were officialized by CBF as champion and runner up of the country in 1987. The CND had another vision and gave the title to Flamengo. Years later, Sport won the championship in court.
