title: 1924 Campeonato Carioca
text: # 1924 Campeonato Carioca
  
  In the 1924 season of the Campeonato Carioca, two championships were disputed, each by a different league.
  
  ## AMEA Championship
  
  After Vasco da Gama's title in 1923, the larger clubs within LMDT attempted to pressure Vasco da Gama to exclude twelve black players from their team, accusing them of being professionals. When Vasco refused and LMDT took Vasco's side, these clubs split from the league and founded AMEA (Associação Metropolitana de Esportes Atléticos, or Metropolitan Athletic Sports Association); Most of the clubs that had been participating in the Série A joined the league, with the addition of SC Brasil, from Série B, and the recently-promoted Hellênico. The league at the time also had CBD's official backing.
  
  The edition of the Campeonato Carioca organized by AMEA kicked off on May 4, 1924 and ended on October 19, 1924. Eight teams participated, Fluminense won the championship for the 9th time. no teams were relegated.

  * First stage: The twenty-three teams would be divided into three groups: Série A, Série B and Série C, with their participants being defined by their standings in the previous year's league. The teams in each group played each other in a double round-robin format. The champions of each of the Séries would qualify into the Finals.
  * Final stage: The champions of Séries A and C would face each other, and the winner would play against the champions of the Série B to define the champion.
