2002 Campeonato Carioca

The 2002 edition of the Campeonato Carioca kicked off on January 26 and ended on June 27, 2002. It is the official tournament organized by FFERJ (Federação de Futebol do Estado do Rio de Janeiro, or Rio de Janeiro State Football Federation. Only clubs based in the Rio de Janeiro State are allowed to play. Eighteen teams contested this edition. Due to multiple schedule conflicts with the Rio-São Paulo tournament that year, the big teams used mostly reserve teams in the first phase.[1] Fluminense won the title for the 29th time, however, due to an incident in the semifinals, the title remained under dispute until 2009.[2][3] Entrerriense, CFZ, Cabofriense, Serrano, Portuguesa, São Cristóvão and Itaperuna were relegated.[4][5]
