Campionato Esportiva

The Campionato Esportiva is Esportiva's regional football tournament.

As of the 27th edition, there have been 13 different nations lifting the Campionato trophy, five of them winning more than once: Apox, The Licentian Isles, Nephara, Brenecia, and The Hinodejin Empire.

Format
The format of the tournament varies depending on the hosts. However, the tournament generally has a group stage followed by a knock-out stage, similar to the World Cup.

Eligibility

 * New nations residing in Esportiva after the official opening of signups are ineligible to participate.
 * Regulars returning from extinction after the official opening of signups may participate, provided that they have competed in previous editions of the Campionato.
 * Only one puppet will be allowed per OOC user (who must declare it as such when entering it) and their final inclusion into the tournament will be entirely up to host discretion.

Host bidding
All participating nations are free to submit host bids. A vote will then take place among all participants (minus those to have bid to be host and puppets) to determine the host. All ballots contain an option to reject the proposed bid(s) and re-open the bidding process.
