National Federation Ranking (RNF)

The Paulista Federation leads the ranking, followed by the Rio de Janeiro State Football Federation. The federations of Minas Gerais, Rio Grande do Sul, and Paraná complete the group of the top five entities.

The position of a federation in the RNF determines the number of spots allocated to its affiliated clubs in the Copa do Brasil, in the Brazilian Championship Series D, in the Copa do Nordeste, and in the Copa Verde, according to the regulations of each competition.

In 2026, the points will be distributed differently due to the increase in participants in the Copa do Brasil.
