The Campeonato da Região Serrana, commonly known as the Copa Serrana, 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 mountainous region and northern of the state. 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 Serrana occasionally receive a different name, honoring important people related to football in Rio Grande do Sul. The 2014 edition is called Copa Paulo Sérgio Poletto, in posthumous tribute to former Grêmio and Ypiranga-RS manager who died in April of the same year. The current holders are Passo Fundo, having beaten the Lajeadense by 2–1 aggregate in the 2013 finals. With this title, the Passo Fundo became the first winner of the Copa Serrana 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 Serrana, the Copa Metropolitana 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 Serrana was held in the second half of 2013, with the participation of six clubs of the mountainous region and northern of the state. The finals was played between Passo Fundo, winner of the first round, and Lajeadense, winner of the second round. The Passo Fundo 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 Serrana」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
