Historical Context This edition solidified Flamengo's early dominance in the competition, marking their second consecutive title. The rivalry between Flamengo and Fluminense (known as Fla-Flu) was already a central feature of the championship, having begun in 1912. The LMSA remained the governing body of football in Rio de Janeiro until the schism of 1924, which led to the creation of a rival league (AMEA).
