[*] Next to the Green and Yellow Modules (see the file on Brazilian champions, a Blue
    and a White Modules were disputed, the first by the southernmost, the second by the
    northernmost teams. The winners were Americano Futebol Clube (Campos-RJ) in the
    Blue Module and Operário Futebol Clube (Campo Grande-MS) in the White Module and
    these are are often computed as third level champions of 1987.
    However, CBF stated that, in that 1987 championship, there would NOT be an official
    characterization of any module as First, Second or Third level.
[**] Clube Malutrom (São José dos Pinhais-PR) won the White/Green Module, equivalent to the
     3rd level. This, however, is not official title.  See the Copa João Havelange file for
     better informations.

Fluminense are the only club to have won both the first and third division championships.
América-MG, Bragantino, Brasiliense, Atlético-GO, Criciúma, Joinville, Sampaio Corrêa, Tuna Luso Brasileira and União São João are the clubs that have been both second and third division champions.
For more information see the second and third division history.
