The Campeonato da Região Metropolitana, commonly known as the Copa Metropolitana, is an annual competition organized by the Rio Grande do Sul state football federation for clubs that are in the first, second and third divisions of the Campeonato Gaúcho and are located in the Metropolitan Porto Alegre. It is held in the second half of the year and usually clubs participating in the higher levels of the Campeonato Brasileiro do not participate with the first team squad, using his academy. The competition was founded in 2013, being a qualifying tournament for the Super Copa Gaúcha, where the winner ensures participation in the Campeonato Brasileiro Série D of the following year. The Copa Metropolitana occasionally receive a different name, honoring important people related to football in Rio Grande do Sul. The 2014 edition is called Copa Nestor Ludwig, in posthumous tribute to former Internacional director who died in September 2013. The current holders are Novo Hamburgo, having beaten Internacional by 2–1 aggregate in the 2013 finals. With this title, the Novo Hamburgo became the first winner of the Copa Metropolitana in history. ==History== Over the past decades, one of the major problems of Brazilian football has been the lack of an annual schedule for smaller clubs. These teams usually played in the state leagues and in the rest of the year closed, only reopening in the following year. Thus, FGF decided to create new competitions for this to not occur more, creating three regional tournaments: the Copa Metropolitana, the Copa Serrana and the Copa Sul-Fronteira. Along with the traditional domestic cup, the Copa FGF, the winners qualify for the Super Copa Gaúcha, where the four clubs play a qualification for the Campeonato Brasileiro Série D and also a place in the dispute of the state supercup, the Recopa Gaúcha, against the champion of the Campeonato Gaúcho. The first edition of the Copa Metropolitana was held in the second half of 2013, with the participation of eight clubs of the metropolitan region. The finals was played between Novo Hamburgo, winner of the first round, and Internacional, winner of the second round. The Novo Hamburgo won by 2–1 aggregate, winning the first title. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Copa Metropolitana」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
