Notes:
[1] Confiança originally qualified to Copa do Brasil 1998 but were unable
to play due to financial debts with FPF and CBF.
[2] Socremo and Conceição apparently withdrew from 1998 First Division, and
Campinense, who had withdrewn 1997 First Division due to financial difficulties,
were invited to First Division. Santos and Nacional-C remained relegated.
