The2016 Campeonato Carioca was the 113th edition of the top tier of theCampeonato Carioca, organized byFFERJ. The top four teams not otherwise qualified through national and international tournaments qualified for the2017 Copa do Brasil.[1] The top two teams not otherwise playing in theCampeonato Brasileiro Série A,Série B orSérie C qualified for the2016 Campeonato Brasileiro Série D.[2]
Unlike theprevious edition, the 16 teams in the 2016 Campeonato Carioca were divided into two groups of 8, whereby each team played every team from the other group once. The top four teams from each group qualified for theTaça Guanabara, while the bottom four teams qualified for theTaça Rio group stage. The Taça Rio group stage was made up of 8 teams and was contested as asingle round-robin, with the top two teams going to the Taça Rio semifinals and the bottom two teams relegated to the2017 Campeonato Carioca Série B1. The Taça Guanabara consisted of another group of 8 teams which was contested as a single round-robin. The top four teams from the Taça Guanabara qualified for the Campeonato Carioca semifinals, and the 5th and 6th placed teams qualified for the Taça Rio semifinals. The Taça Rio semifinals and final were single-legged; the Campeonato Carioca semifinal was single-legged, while the final was two-legged.[3] Preparations for the2016 Summer Olympics madeMaracanã Stadium andEngenhão Stadium unavailable except for the finals.[4][5][6] Matches were moved to alternative locations, including out ofRio de Janeiro state.[7][8][9][10]
The sixteen sides were split into two groups of eight, with the top four from both groups advancing to theTaça Guanabara and the bottom four from both groups advancing to theTaça Rio.
