The Taça Competência was a tournament organized by Associação Paulista de Esportes Atléticos (APEA), that aimed to carry out the confrontation between the Capital and the Countryside champions, since at the time, logistical impossibilities did not allow teams from the interior of the state to compete in the same championship as the capital clubs.[1]

List of Champions

[edit]

The difference in levels was absolute, and never has a team from the countryside managed to win the Taça Competência. In 2021, the Federação Paulista de Futebol considered the countryside division of APEA to be equivalent to the second tier of football in São Paulo.[2]
