The 2024 Campeonato Carioca featured a sum total of twelve teams, with Flamengo finishing top of the section and they were able to claim the Taça Guanabara championship, with eight victories in their eleven games played. Incredibly their twenty-three goals scored were only counter-balanced by one goal being conceded.
Tite used to be manager of the Brazilian national football team and he has navigated a way of making his side champions, with the side hot favourites to overcome Nova Iguaçu on a home and away basis. The latter were able to beat Vasco da Gama in their semi-final, while Flamengo were winners against Fluminense.
Meanwhile, the Taca Rio is contested between the teams finishing between fifth and eighth in the overall standings. The 2024 renewal featured Botafogo, Boavista, Portuguesa and Sampaio Correa. The bottom club Audax Rio were relegated from the division and will be replaced by a promoted team.
